There Really Is A Pillow Out There For Everyone….

When someone asks my advice on which pillow they should choose- I always say- “don’t worry there is a pillow out there for you”. If you are suffering, cannot sleep, or just moved out of your parents house, there are lots of choices for you. It can be a little overwhelming, but don’t worry – the Pillow Queen is here to help ! There are a few different types of pillows all for very different purposes- orthopedic (aka supportive pillows) or decorative pillows.

Orthopedic pillows have a purpose in mind- they are there is too support your neck, or in some cases your knees or your lower back. These pillows will allow for a comfortable night of sleep. Often times a support neck pillow has an indentation in the middle. I have seen indentations in the form of a triangle, square, circle, or even a “D” Shape. Often times there are two sides to the pillow. You can pick the side that is most comfortable for you. There is even a pillow specially designed for someone who has a pinched nerve. The Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow will allow you to have the proper curve in your neck for better sleep and pain relief.

Not just for your neck, some pillows are really body pillows that can be used in many different ways. You can get these long (often the length of an adult) cylinder pillows for comfort during sleep and extra support. Have you heard of the “husband pillow” or “boyfriend pillow”? Apparently these pillows allow one to sit in bed and read comfortably. Often with armrests, these are supposed to be very cozy pillows- great for lounging around- all day!
