The Importance of Choosing the Right Pillow A good night’s kip is essential to your wellbeing, and choosing the right pillow for your body should be a top priority for anyone who is all too familiar with disturbed sleep. Alongside a good mattress, a pillow plays an important role in your sleep quality. A bad quality pillow, or one that is not best suited for your posture, can lead to restlessness and back, neck and shoulder complaints. If a pillow applies pressure on to your neck during sleep, the shoulder blade can be forced towards the spine and cause muscle tensions and related pains in the arms and hands. Shoulder pains can be extremely frustrating, however they after often referred pains from the neck and a good pillow can greatly reduce discomfort. The right pillow allows for: musculo-skeletal relaxation, minimal pressure on your shoulders and the right positioning for muscular recovery. It will support the skill and neck and conform to your shape, spreading your weight evenly along the vertebrae and allowing for natural spine alignment. The human neck curves slight forward by nature. During sleep it is important to maintain this curve. If the height of your pillow is too high, the neck can bend abnormally and place strain on the neck and shoulders, as well as restricting breathing. A pillow that is too low can also put strain on the neck muscles. Alongside achieving the right posture for your body during sleep however, it is important that you find a pillow comfortable – allowing for a relaxation. The type of pillow you choose can affect your comfort levels, with some people preferring the cool touch of a cotton pillow case and others favouring the warmth of flannel. The pillow you choose should also reflect the sleeping position that you most often adopt. If you sleep on your back, a pillow should provide adequate support for your head, neck and shoulders and should be lower than a pillow used for sleeping on your side. When lying on your side, a pillow should simply support he head and neck. You may like the addition of a small pillow under your waist to provide additional support in this position. If you largely sleep on your stomach, your pillow should be relatively flat so that your head is almost resting directly on your mattress. This ensures that your neck or head don’t turn unnaturally to either side. Another flat pillow placed under your stomach can help maintain the natural alignment of your spine in this position. Over time, cotton pillows will begin to lose firmness and support for your neck. Memory foam pillows are a much longer lasting option when it comes to keeping their shape. When choosing the right pillow, bear in mind that every new pillow might feel a little uncomfortable for the first few days as you adjust to a new contour. If you keep in mind your sleeping position and body shape however, picking a comfortable and supportive pillow should be relatively straight forward.

Kako izabrati najbolji jastuk Kad je u pitanju položaj spavanja i odmor tijekom noći, najbolje je poslušati savjete kiropraktičara Nemirno spavate, budite se umorni i osjećate se kao da vas je netko pregazio? Vjerojatno imate loš jastuk, kažu kiropraktičari i dodaju kako ćete se pravilnim odabirom jastuka buditi puni snage, odmorni i svježi. Među savjetima za bolje spavanje naročito se ističe činjenica da bez obzira na to u kojem položaju spavate, jastuk treba ispuniti liniju ispod glave i vrata, s naročitim naglaskom na jastuke koji će dati dovoljnu potporu vratu. Jastuk mora biti udoban, kao prvo, pa se ljudi često odlučuju za anatomski jastuk koji ima udubljenje za glavu i potporu za vrat. Obično su napravljeni od memorijske pjene koja će oblikovati prema vašoj glavi, no oni znaju i zadržavati toplotu što može uzrokovati nemiran san u toplijim danima. Veliki jastuci sjajni su kao potpora kralježnici pri spavanju, jer ako ih obgrlite stavit ćete je u neutralan položaj u kojem neće biti opterećenja. Najbolji položaj za spavanje, prema kiropraktičarima, je bočni ili na leđima. Ako spavate na boku, neka vam noge budu lagano savijene jer ćete tako kralježnicu opet dovesti u neutralan položaj. Spavanje na trbuhu nije dobro za vrat jer će takav položaj neprestano pritiskati kralježnicu što će u konačnici izazvati probleme s vratom.
