The Right Pillow Is Important

Find Out Why!

You spend an average of seven hours a day, 49 hours a week, 196 hours a month sleeping ~ more time than you spend doing anything else ~ so choosing the right headrest is important. According to a study by the National Sleep Foundation on sleeplessness and pain, 64 percent of those who don’t sleep through the night cite back pain as the cause, and your headrest could be the culprit. A headrest that supports the neck and back properly will help you spend more time dreaming and less time aching

Types of Headrests to Consider

Bucky for Bed Headrest: Filled with buckwheat hulls that cradle your contours, this pillow also has a soft, fleecy cover that feels soothing against the skin. What’s nice is that you can adjust the firmness by removing or replacing the buckwheat filling as needed. However, the strong scent and squishing noises (when you shift positions) of the natural filling may make it difficult to fall asleep.

Swedish Neck Headrest: A much better headrest, this one has the balance of support and comfort. The high-density polyurethane foam used in this headrest (designed for NASA) is heat-sensitive, so it instantly molds to fit your shape, providing the support for the head and neck. The soft terry cover makes it easy to drift off.

The Science of Sleep Headrest: This is the headrest for those of you who toss and turn. It’s a soft headrest with a firm neck roll that supports the neck when you lie on your side or back. It does, however, take a little getting used to because of the firmness under the neck. It’s filled with hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill and fits in a standard pillowcase.

Dutch Comfort Headrest: Made by an Anesthesiologist, this dual-sided contoured headrest has a distinctive rippled design to accommodate the natural curve of the spine. It’s filled with polyurethane foam that is hypo-allergenic, odorless and mildew-resistant. The nice aspect of this headrest design is that it can be turned to accommodate different needs. When the neck bolster is facing you, the head and neck are supported for side sleeping. When it’s facing away, it accommodates back sleepers and petites.

The Contour Headrest: Filled with 1000 percent sheep’s wool, this headrest was thin and on the firm side. It didn’t seem to provide a lot of support for the neck even though it purported to, and it wasn’t super comfortable. It did, however, win merits for the special seams that keep the filling from shifting around.
