Do you suffer from neck pain or maybe you know someone who does? Neck pain is a very common pain in most people and it is because the head and neck region is vulnerable to many different stresses. It can be caused by muscle strains, osteoarthritis, herniated intervertebral discs; even something as a bad posture can cause an incorrect alignment of the neck and spine and therefore neck pain will manifest. So, what can we do to prevent or treat neck pain?

One of the most usual causes of neck pain is a poor posture. Most people have bad posture habits whether when they are sleeping or during the day and they don't even realize it, even an activity that we consider harmless as reading in bed without a posture pillow can, at some moment, lead to pain and more serious problems. A basic recommendation is not to sit in the same position for a long time, but if we have to, we must not bend or hunch the neck forward or long periods, the neck and back must be supported so that we have a better posture.

The sleep positions are even more important because they are the most possible source of neck problems. A regular pillow causes you to sleep with your neck at a too high or too low angle and does not keep your spine straight, therefore causing neck pain, back pain, discomfort and fatigue. This sagging or distorted sleep surface usually causes an unnatural spine alignment, so the back muscles will try to compensate by tensing up so they can restore a more natural positioning of the spine. But this muscle tension is what produces the morning discomfort and pain in the neck and the back.

That is why the Better Sleep Pillow is so great, because this neck pillow conforms easily to the shape of your neck and offers you proper spine alignment. Its memory foam technology can naturally and effectively redistribute your head, neck and body weight, improving circulation and reducing neck and spinal pressure. So it does not matter if you prefer side sleeping or back sleeping, this pillow allows you to sleep quietly and comfortably and enables you to wake up the next morning rested, relaxed and ready to take on the day.

A right neck support pillow is essential to get a good night's sleep without having to worry about neck pain and other discomforts. With their pressure relieving and hypoallergenic urethane memory foam that supports neck and head's contours, the Better Sleep Pillow provide the ultimate sleeping experience.
