Can a Better Pillow REALLY Help?
Nov 25, 2006 Insomnia
Apparently so, for some people.
My boyfriend swears by his obnoxiously expensive ortho pillow he sleeps on. Plus he has one of those little contoured pillows that fits in between his knees when he sleeps on his side. He insists that sleeping well is just a matter getting comfortable. He arranges his pillows just so, and within 5 minutes (sometimes less), he’s off to never-never land.
I’m jealous.
I did try a cheap version of the ortho pillow (memory foam or something like that) a few years ago. I didn’t notice any significant improvement in my sleeping patterns. In fact, I usually end up on my stomach sometime during the night (a big no-no I’ve been told) and those little pillows just didn’t work in that position. My daughter loved it when she came to visit, so I ended up giving one to her.
I suppose I could “borrow” my boyfriend’s pillow for a few nights to see if it would work for me, but I doubt I could wrestle it away from him. Even if he did offer to part with it to help me out, the guilt I would feel would surely prevent me from getting any sleep.
Lo and behold, someone has designed a pillow just for us side and stomach sleepers!
Here’s the list of problems that the pillow can help with:
Sufferers of : Lower back pain, shoulder pain , frozen shoulder or neck and shoulder pain
Stomach, back or side sleepers.
People who snore and have sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
People on the go who need a more restful sleep for improved energy next day.
People who need insomnia treatment and users of sleep aids, who have problems sleeping.
TMJ sufferers, people with migraine headaches
Pregnant women who just can’t get comfortable.
From car accident survivors to people with pinched nerves in the neck.
