As with all things ergo, an ergonomic pillow is going to be far more supportive.
The higher support is going to set ergonomic pillows apart from a normal pillow, which means it is better for your overall health in the long run.
You will notice immediate relief and a better night’s sleep, and the better support each night will add up to long term correction, better sleep patterns, and improved health and performance throughout the day.
The pillow is going to be extremely comfortable, but it is also going to cradle your neck and head in a more natural position that keeps you from straining while you are sleeping.
You will feel that your neck is held more naturally in a curved position that elevates your head slightly.
Normal pillows do not curve to the natural bend in your neck, but are either too flat or else too elevated and push your neck to bend unnaturally or lay flat against the surface.
This is not just uncomfortable but horribly bad for your neck and causes extreme strain to your vertebrae and overall spinal health.
You may notice this unhealthy strain every morning when you wake up, and you are probably noticing the effects of this long term as well.
Perhaps you have a constant pain that you have accepted as normal, but you do not have to worry about that once you select an ergonomic pillow for you.
What To Look For In An Ergonomic Pillow?
Neck Support
Neck support, neck support, neck support. This point cannot be stressed enough. If you are really wanting to invest in a pillow that works, the support to your cervical vertebrae is going to be paramount.
The pillows on this list are going to be high in support due to the way they are designed and modeled.
I’ve chosen pillows with specific designs and/or memory foam that will conform to the contour of our neck.
This way you will be guaranteed to feel like your neck and head are supported and that the weight is taken off of your shoulders.
Comfortable Casing Material
As I am sure that you already know, the casing of your pillow is important for your night’s sleep.
While you are probably going to put a regular pillowcase over the pillow itself anyway, the original casing is still important.
You do not want a scratchy surfaced pillow, you want a soft pillow made out of natural material.
The material should also be breathable, promoting airflow to keep you from being hot, sweaty, and sticky as well as durable to keep up with the many uses that your pillow will go through.
