21.01.2022 Choosing a pillow that is right for you can often be a confusing and complex task given the variety of pillows on the market. The importance of getting a good night sleep should not be underestimated and poor sleep can take a toll on your health and wellbeing. If you are finding sleep difficult due to discomfort or waking up with soreness or headaches, it could be your pillow. Ensuring you have a suitable pillow is an important decision given how long you spend sleeping eve...ry night. If a pillow is the wrong shape, too high, too low or does not have the right amount of support, the neck can be strained into incorrect positions for many hours while sleeping. It is quite common to wake up with general neck stiffness and soreness as the result of incorrect pillow selection or develop acute wryneck, joint stiffness and locking, muscle strains and headaches over a longer term.
