Many Americans complain of back and neck pain while sleeping, but they do not understand the cause of this pain. Most back and neck pain caused when lying in bed is from improper alignment of the spine, which can put severe pressure on certain disks in your back and neck, leading to compressed disks and other problems.

To remedy this problem, you need to make certain your spine is correctly aligned while you sleep. Neck pillows are designed to take care of the disks of the neck and upper back by ensuring your head is not resting too far up or too far down.

These pillows are generally made of memory foam and have a small bump at one end. This bump is designed to cradle your neck properly, instead of allowing it to sink down and compress the disks between your vertebrae.

Because there are so many different types of neck pillow on the market, it can be difficult to choose the best one. So what should you look for in the best neck pillow for your particular sleeping position? First, you should think about how you sleep.

If you sleep more often on your side than on your back, you are going to want a pillow with a higher bump to cradle your neck, since the neck has a larger arch when you lie on your side. If you primarily sleep on your back, your pillow will have a more subtle lump.

Choosing the best neck pillow for any sleeping situation is hard, since we do not always sleep in the same position. If possible, try and get into a lying position with the prospective pillow so you know how it feels before purchase it.

While you probably will not be able to return it if you are not happy, make sure the material it is made from is durable as well as comfortable, and that the arch of the pillow that supports your neck is not too large or too small, thus negating the use of the pillow.
