Sleeping on the back is said to be the ideal sleeping position. Actually, it is one of the most popular positions. But, back sleepers often snore the most. Therefore, choosing an ergonomically perfect pillow is especially important.
The perfect pillow for back sleepers
Independent from your preferred sleeping position: the proper pillow is essential. Besides a good sleeping underlay, healthy sleep also needs the proper pillow. The first indicator of an improper pillow is a tense neck in the morning. Do you know that feeling? Or are you even waking up every morning with back pain? Rethink the choice of your pillow or even your complete sleeping system. Is your slat frame supporting? Or are you dangling in your bed just like in a hammock?
Beware of the “typical” mistakes when choosing a pillow
There is a wide range of offered pillows. Often, choice becomes difficult and an unsuitable pillow is bought. Advertisements and low prices clearly are the wrong reasons for buying a pillow. When looking for a pillow, it is important to check that your shoulders don’t rest on the pillow. Furthermore, the pillow for classical back sleepers should not be too high; this would only lead to tensions in the neck and to tension head ache. Always try out your pillow. If it doesn’t feel right, ask for another one.
With a professional consultation your personal needs and physical demands are met. One thing often forgotten is the fact that especially in the night we tend to sweat in the neck area. The more important it is that the pillow is supporting a dry-warm bedding climate. Here, fillings with sheep wool and cotton pillow covers are perfect.
Orthopedic functioning of the pillow
Each SAMINA product development is influenced by years of research and knowledge. In co-operation with experts from orthopedics and physio therapy, the SAMINA sleep-healthy-products are developed and optimized. Our pillows, too. One typical pillow for back sleepers is the SAMINA pillow kombi-med. The internal structure of the pillow convinces with a slim lens body made of 100 % natural rubber. Special recesses along the shoulder line support positioning of the cervical spine as well as a comfortable snuggling of the tense neck area.
