Therefore, taking the time to determine the most suitable pillow according to your sleep preferences and sleep habits is very important. Right pillow enhances your sleep quality with ultimate support and relaxation while sleeping to offer you refreshed and healthy lifestyle. Things to Consider While Choosing a Good Pillow 1. Know your Ideal Sleeping Position 

Sleeping position: Some sleep mostly on their back, some choose to sleep largely on their side and there are some who sleep on their stomach. Know which position feels comfortable to sleep and the position which gives you sound sleep all night. Discover your sleeping position by the trial method: Even if you already know your preferred position, it’s recommended to take a few nights to verify it so that you can choose better. Pillow choice depending on sleep position:

a. For a stomach sleeper, you need a soft, comparatively flat pillow to sleep on. Using a soft pillow allows your neck and spine to stay in alignment. However, this position is the least recommended sleeping position. b. For a back sleeper, the medium loft pillow is the most supportive. In this case, the pillow that is thicker and firmer provides more support and comfort by relieving neck and cervical pain. c. Side sleepers need a relatively thicker, firmer pillow designed in contour shape to properly hold the neck curvature and provide utmost support to sleep comfortably.
