Why the Right Pillow Matters
1. Nerve Compression
An unsupportive pillow can cause chronic compression of cervical nerves, leading to pain,
tingling, or muscle tension. An ergonomic pillow keeps the neck in a neutral position, allowing nerve pathways to remain free.
2. Blood Flow to the Brain
The vertebral arteries in the neck supply the brain with oxygen-rich blood.
Poor head positioning can restrict this flow, while the right pillow height and firmness ensure optimal circulation during sleep.
3. Muscle Relaxation
A bad pillow forces the neck and shoulder muscles to stay tense throughout the night.
This often results in headaches and restless sleep. A supportive pillow reduces muscle strain and promotes deep relaxation.
4. Sleep Quality
Scientific studies highlight pillow height and firmness as key factors for achieving deep
, uninterrupted sleep. Proper support allows the body to enter restorative sleep cycles more easily.
5. Nerve Healing and Recovery
Healthy blood circulation is essential for nerve repair and regeneration. By maintaining proper alignment,
an ergonomic pillow supports natural healing processes and long-term spinal health.
