The Ins and Outs of Different Sleep Positions

There’s more to choosing a sleep position than comfort. Here are some things to consider.

You’re a Back Sleeper? Did You Know…

• The best pillow for back sleepers provides medium to firm support to keep the head and neck in alignment with the spine. Just be sure that you get yourself the right size pillow!
• Back sleepers may experience overheating if the pillow retains too much heat, so prioritizing breathable fabric and construction is important!
• It can reduce the likelihood of experiencing acid reflux during sleep if your head is elevated with the right size pillow.
• If you’re a snorer, an adjustable mattress base can alleviate this problem with the push of a button.
• If your legs are not adequately bent and supported, it can strain your lower back. While an adjustable mattress base can help here too, placing a small pillow under the back of your knees will reduce stress on your spine and support the natural curve in your lower back.

Prefer to Sleep on Your Side?

• Side sleeping is one of the healthiest sleep positions. It has benefits such as reducing snoring and sleep apnea, easing acid reflux, and being particularly beneficial for pregnant women.
• If you body is not properly aligned and supported, side sleeping may lead to shoulder and hip pain. Cuddle Curve Pillows designed specifically for side sleepers to ensure optimal positioning, like proper alignment and support for neck, shoulders, and hips.
• Side sleepers can find great comfort and support in body pillows. They provide comprehensive support and promote healthier breathing patterns. By aligning the spine and reducing pressure points, body pillows can help side sleepers wake up feeling fresh and aligned.
• Placing a Knee Pillow between the knees while sleeping on your side can also help to alleviate pressure on your hips and lower back by providing optimal alignment.

If You Tend to Sleep on Your Stomach...

• While stomach sleeping is generally not recommended due to potential strain on the neck, back, and shoulders, it may ease snoring and reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
• To be sure that you’re not straining your neck, look for pillows with a soft and low loft to prevent excess elevation of the head and neck.
