Using the right pillow can help you sleep longer and feel more rested.

The National Sleep Foundation advises:

• For back sleepers, use a thinner pillow with a thicker area at the bottom for better neck support.
• Stomach sleepers should use the thinnest possible pillow, to reduce strain on the lower back.
• Side sleepers should opt for a thick pillow with a wide edge, to fill the area between the shoulder and ear.
• Wedging a pillow between the knees can help ease lower back strain.
• Replace a pillow after about 18 months of nightly use.
