Do you sleep on your stomach?
Choose a very soft pillow to keep your vertebrae aligned and to prevent your swallowing muscles and windpipe from being under strain. Depending on the softness of your mattress, you can even manage without a pillow.
Do you sleep on your back?
Your pillow should preferably be firm to ensure that your neck is well supported. Ideally, your head should sink a third into the pillow.
Do you sleep on your side?
Your pillow should be soft and fill the gap between your shoulder and your head. In this case, choose a pillow with a side strip (see photo), which will not crush during the night and will offer you the necessary support.
Do you suffer from neck pain?
Various orthopaedic pillows (half-core foam, half-down or Ergogel) will fit and support your head ideally.
