1. Improved Laying Posture

Every time someone sleeps, they can adopt a different sleeping position. Sleeping positions can be as varied as dreams! Proper pillow support can improve laying posture and effectively reduce the amount of aches and pains that may be present upon waking.

2. Support For The Cervical Spine 

A contour pillow can help to keep the vertebrae lined up properly. Correct positioning of the cervical spine while sleeping can help to reduce unwanted stress on parts of the vertebrae that may result in sore spots.

3. Reduce Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain 

Comfort and relief! The use of a contour pillow can help to reduce neck, shoulder and back pain by supporting and cushioning painful areas. By reducing neck pain, in particular, jaw pain (or TMJ) can be alleviated. Painful clicking, grinding and locking of the jaw may be reduced with correct alignment of the neck and shoulders.

4. Improve Symptoms of Snoring & Sleep Apnoea

Correct positioning of the head and neck during sleeping can help to open airways and reduce snoring. Raising the head slightly may help to open partially obstructed airways of people with sleep apnoea and reduce episodes of interrupted breathing.

5. Travelling Comfort

Long plane flights or even long trips in the car can create awkward resting positions, with resulting cramp, stiffness and pain. If frequent changes of beds and pillows are also involved, such as with travel, the neck may not end up in a ‘natural resting position’ each and every night. Contour pillows can increase comfort and reduce the risk of stiffness and cramping pain by placing your neck into an improved resting position.

These are just some of the health benefits that may arise from using a contour pillow. And if pain and tightness of the neck, back and shoulders are reduced, this can also represent a financial benefit with reduced cost of pain killers and specialists visits. Such a small thing as improving the laying posture can well result in large benefits.
