Questions are ongoing about “What kind of pillow do I need when I’m
sleeping.” Well, pillows are based on what you prefer, some may prefer firm
ones and others may prefer soft pillows. From our research, almost 40% of people
like to sleep with 2 pillows, but what happens is it ends up putting your neck
in a position not too safe.
So, an example could be if you’re a side sleeper which is the best sleeping
posture then, what you need is a pillow that will have your hips in a neutral
position so when you sleep on your side, your neck will also be in a neutral
position.
Two pillows for sleeping puts a lot of stress on some body muscles, and
then not a lot of stress on other muscles making your rest posture harmful and
causing your muscles to be imbalanced.
A pretty neutral sleeping position in women with little bit bigger hips is
essential to keep your hips from hurting. So instead of sleeping on two
pillows, having a pillow in between your legs helps you sustain
that neutral position. It helps you be in that straight line. But if you lie on
your back then you don’t necessarily need to put a pillow in-between your legs.
When you sleep on your backside with a pillow between your legs, it puts lots
of stress on your neck muscles and spinal cord in the back and it ends up
causing weakness and pain when you wake up.
So, there you have it, that’s how to sleep in a neutral and better
position. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section and remember,
to be safe, have fun, and I hope you feel better soon.
