Intro

So many people go ages without swapping their old flimsy pillows for something new and actually made to support one of our biggest pressure areas: our necks! In fact, most experts say you should replace your pillows every 1-2 years.

Neck pain can stem from many different things, but specifically when your head, neck and alpine are not in alignment for an extended period of time. One of the longest time frames we usually go with an unaligned spine is while we sleep. This is why it’s smart to have a quality, supportive pillow so your body gets the nightly rehabilitation it needs. In this article we will go through our 3 favorite pillows and give you a few good reasons to upgrade your pillow and give yourself the relief your body is looking for during sleep.

• Cool Tech Pillows - Offered in Low or Medium
• TEMPUR® Essential Sleep Pillow
• TEMPUR® Adapt Pro Cooling Pillows - Offered in LO, MID, or HI

TEMPUR® Essential Sleep Pillow:

Another great option if you find yourself needing relief from an achy neck is the TEMPUR® Essential Sleep Pillow. Offering a soft luxurious feel, while still cradling your neck, head and shoulders with support this pillow is great for any sleeper! Even a stomach sleeper can sleep with ease using the TEMPUR® Essential Pillow, because of its softer memory foam and less structured style.

TEMPUR® Adapt Pro Cooling Pillow:

Another pillow by Tempurpedic, but with a little upgrade. The TEMPUR® Adapt Pro Cooling Pillow highlights the exclusive TEMPUR® micro cushions in the middle layered between the TEMPUR® Material to maintain the shape. In addition, the cooling removable cover keeps the whole pillow at a constant cooler temperature so you don't wake up in the middle of the night sticking to your pillow (we have all been there!).

It comes in three different firmness options for all different kinds of sleepers. The LO profile is designed for stomach sleepers or small frames, MID profile is for back and side sleepers or medium frames, and the HI profile is designed for side sleepers or larger frames. 

Conclusion:

Even with the best mattress, physical therapist or exercise routine in the world, you could still be experiencing neck pain and for a lot of people this problem comes from the lack of support while they sleep. Many people forget about their pillows when improving their sleep habits, and it is really the key to finally ditching the neck pain and sore shoulders when waking up after a long night of sleep.

All three of the pillows included in this blog have their own features that stand out from the rest. Depending on if you are a stomach, back or side sleeper, there is a perfect fit for you.
