Pillows

When people complain of neck and shoulder pain, their choice of pillows is often the culprit. There is a wide selection available – goosedown, duckdown, feather, fibre filled, and visco-elastic, latex or polyurethane foam – and any number of combinations of these. Pillows also come in different shapes and sizes, including ones which are pre-shaped to support the head and neck (often described as orthopaedic pillows). Once again the choice is subjective – whatever works for you.

A good pillow should hold your head in the correct alignment – that is, in the same relation to your shoulders and spine as if you were standing upright with the correct posture. The pillows should be well tucked into the neck and shoulder to support the head fully. The thickness and number of pillows required depends on your body shape and your preferred sleeping position. You will need a thicker pillow (or two thinner ones) if you sleep on your side than if you sleep on your back. Sleeping on your front with your neck twisted is not recommended.

It is a good idea to invest in quality pillows and replace them at least every two or three years to maintain a healthy sleeping environment. When they have lost their ‘loft’ (height) and become lumpy, discoloured or misshapen they should be replaced. An old, unwashed pillow could also contain as much as 10% of its weight in skin scales, mould, dead and living dust mites and their allergen laden droppings.

So, make sure you change pillow cases often, replace your pillows frequently and choose ones that are just right for your body shape and sleeping position and you will sleep like a baby every time.
