Choose pillows

Support for your neck.

4 min read

The right pillow keeps your head and neck in line with your spine.

By sleep position

  • Side sleepers: a firmer, higher pillow
  • Back sleepers: medium height and firmness
  • Stomach sleepers: a thin, soft pillow or none
  • Use a pillow protector to keep it clean

Replace

If your pillow stays folded when you fold it in half, or has lumps and stains, it's probably time for a new one.
