Best Pillows for Neck Pain
One of the best thing that people who suffer from neck and back pain can do is buy pillows for neck pain. There are several options available, such as foam and water. These can range in cost from $15-$150. What works best for each person will vary. Some pillows for neck pain are best for side sleepers, while others are better people who sleep on their backs.
This page lists some of the most popular pillows for neck pain. Each one has maintained at least four stars out of five in customer reviews on Amazon. I've tried to get different types of pillows. If you've had trouble finding one that alleviates tension before, you might want to go for something completely different.
A word of caution: changing your pillow can cause extra pulling on your neck. While this adjustment will be beneficial in the long run, it can cause additional pain in the short term. To minimize this, try resting with the pillow for short times before going the whole night with it.
Original McKenzie Cervical Roll Neck Support
Affordable Solution to Neck Pain
The McKenzie Cervical Roll Neck Support fits along the bottom edge in most pillowcases. It has its own poly-cotton cover that is removable and washable. The pillow is made out of low density foam. It is meant for use with soft pillows, such as ones with feathers.
This cervical roll is 20" long and 3 ½ inches in diameter. It averages a rating of 4 stars out of five. It costs less than $20.
Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow
The Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow relieves muscle and neck pain by supporting the neck and head correctly. It can also reduce snoring and help you breathe more easily. It can also help circulation since relaxed muscles are better for blood flow.
What makes the Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow different from most pillows for neck pain is the v shape that cradles your head and lifts it away from the shoulders. It also has a neck roll for much needed support. It is machine washable and will fit in standard pillowcases. It contains no latex and is non-allergenic.
Mediflow Water Based Pillow
These pillows are great for people who toss and turn at night and are both back sleepers and side sleepers. That is because the water adjusts so it has the correct level of support for the neck and head. Part of the pillow is made of hypoallergenic Dupont fiberfill, which tends to be more comfortable than film. But what makes it unique is the thin level of water that the head rests on.
One nice thing about this pillow is that the firmness level is adjustable based on how much water the pillow has in it. But it can take a few nights to discover the best firmness level for you. Because of this you might want to try out the pillow for short periods of time until you are ready to sleep with it all night.
SleepRight Side Sleeping Pillow
While the SleepRight does help reduce head and neck tension, it is too warm for some people. The Mediflow water based pillow would be better for people who want a cool pillow. Another drawback is that it is specifically for side sleepers and won't be effective for people who sleep on their back or people who do both throughout the night.
If you are a side sleeper and have neck problems as well as sleep apnea, it might be worth investing in this pillow.
Therapeutica Travel Sleeping Pillow
The Therapeutica pillow can be used by both side sleepers and back sleepers.
