Whether it’s everyday stress, major life events, or just too much screen time, most people aren’t getting enough quality sleep. In getting some refreshing shut-eye, your pillow choice can help make a difference.
Accordingly, some of the most popular for those wanting to upgrade where they rest their head every night are contoured pillows made out of memory foam. These types of memory foam pillows are ideal for those dealing with neck pain.
People are drawn to memory foam for all sorts of different reasons, but one of the biggest attractions is the way the material conforms to pressure.
Memory foam is engineered to cradle you in a way that helps your head to stay in healthy alignment with your spine. It is also built to be durable, resilient, and support you all night long without caving in over the course of your slumber.
Memory Foam Pillow
Memory foam is a special type of material that reacts to temperature and pressure which causes it to mold and conform to shape accordingly.
Therefore, the foam creates a mold around the shape of your head, neck, shoulders, ears, and any other body part which it comes into contact with when it comes to sleeping on bed pillows.
The traditional and most common type of foam is polyurethane, also known as viscoelastic foam. There is also another variant which includes a portion of the gel, but this type has thousands of small gel beads in its mix.
The gel memory foam pillow is newer on the scene, slightly more expensive, and has its benefits over its peers through lesser heat retention thus allowing a more cooling sleep surface.
The viscosity of the foam allows your body heat to soften the pillow which supports your head, helping alleviate neck and back pain.
Based on the heat from your body, Memory foam pillows work and soften into the ideal shape to support your head and neck. There are several ways to use a memory foam pillow to improve your sleep.
To provide maximum support for your head and neck, regardless of whether you sleep on your side or your back, place the flat side of your pillow down and orient the pillow with the larger of the two curves toward the foot of your bed.
