Why does the right pillow matter?

Choosing the right pillow can greatly improve your quality of sleep because it helps your sleeping posture and your overall health. We all need a good night’s sleep, right?

Who wants to wake up in the morning with a crick in your neck or back pain? If you wake up in the morning and say, “I slept funny my neck and back hurt”, chances are you are not sleeping on the correct pillow. Having the correct pillow for your sleep habits helps with your posture and you will wake up refreshed without those aches and pains.

The right pillow will help keep your spine stay in alignment while you sleep, regardless of your preferred sleeping position. With a pillow that supports healthy posture, your neck, shoulders, back and hips will get the support they need.

While the pillow you choose is largely based on your personal preference, Malpaca® has a pillow for your preferred sleep position:

  • Side Sleepers – are you a side sleeper, you need a pillow that keeps your head in line with your spine, if your pillow to too flat, your neck will bend and cause serious stress on your bones and muscles. You can save yourself all that pain and get a pillow designed for side sleepers.

We recommend a Medium or Full fill Malpaca® pillow for side sleepers

·         Back Sleepers – if you are a back sleeper, you are a rare breed. Only about 7-10% of people sleep on their back. You will need a firmer, lofty pillow to support your head and neck. If you already have issues with acid reflux or heartburn- or experience sleep apnea or snoring- a firmer pillow is the answer to provide more uniform support for your head and shoulders throughout the night.

We recommend a Full fill Malpaca® pillow for back sleepers

 

·         Stomach Sleeper – if you are a belly sleeper, you need a flat pillow that does not hold your head up too much. While only 10% of people sleep on their belly, there are some pros: reduces sleep apnea symptoms, can mitigate snoring, and decreases acid reflux.

We recommend a Light fill Malpaca® pillow for stomach sleepers
