Health Tip: Choose the Right Pillow for Better Slumber
By LadyLively on May 5, 2015
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.
