What happens if Your Pillow is too high?
Quality sleep is an elusive commodity for millions. The complex process of attaining a quality sleep pattern can be compromised by a number of factors that you may or may not have even considered. One such factor is simply the wrong pillow. What makes a Good Pillow and sleep better? A good night’s sleep is dependent on a healthy sleeping position and a good pillow. A good pillow will support your head in natural alignment with your spine. Only a pillow offering good support and adjustability can do this. When your pillow is too high, it causes the muscles in your neck to stretch and takes the spine out of alignment. This will leave your neck feeling very stiff throughout the day, causing it to be uncomfortable while performing daily tasks. If you are a Side Sleeper, the pillow will press down into your shoulder causing upper back and neck pain. To balance this out, many people tend to lift one of their legs forward, almost as if their leg was at a 90-degree angle, thus leading to lower back pain. If your pillow is too low it will cause your neck muscles to sag into the pillow, leaving your spine curved and this will cause neck pain and stiffness. Having the right bed pillows is not only comforting, they play an important role in supporting the intricate structures of the head, neck, shoulders, hips, and spine.
