We've all been told how
important it is to get a good night’s sleep. One of the best ways to do this is
to make sure you’re using the correct pillow.
How do you know which pillow
is right for you? Different sleepers need different pillows. Back sleepers need
thinner pillows. Side sleepers need firmer pillows to fill the space between
the ear and outside shoulder. Stomach sleepers need very thin, almost flat
pillows or no pillow at all.
Don’t be fooled by price
tags. Just because a pillow costs more doesn't mean it is better. Sleeping with
the wrong pillow can worsen headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm numbness,
discomfort, sneezing, and wheezing.
Be sure to change your pillow
every 12 to 18 months. One way to test to see if your pillow is past its
“expiration date” is to fold it in half. If it doesn't start to unfold on its
own, it’s time for a new one. If a pillow is old, it may contain skin cells,
mold, mildew, fungus, and dust mites.
Is it time for you to get a
new pillow? Check out this website for tips and suggestions so you can find the right pillow for you and get a
good night’s sleep.
