If you spend your day hunched over a screen, carrying kids, or working long hours, chances are your neck and shoulders are under constant stress. And if you're waking up with stiffness or soreness, your pillow might be doing more harm than good.
The most ideal and best pillow for neck pain should support your neck and spine properly while you sleep. The wrong pillow can lead to poor posture, muscle tension, and restless nights — even leaving you feeling more tired in the morning than when you went to bed.
Bottomline, it doesn't matter if you have the biggest house, deepest bank balance or the most virtuous life - a poor and painful sleep risks it all. Read more in our Free Sleep Guide!
