If you struggle with lower back pain, you know how important it is to find the right support while you sleep. One often-overlooked factor is your pillow. The right pillow can help you sleep better and reduce pain.
Your pillow affects how your spine is aligned while you sleep. If your pillow is too high, too low, or too firm, it can put extra pressure on your back. Ideally, a pillow should keep the head level at the same height as that of the spine. As a thumb rule, you should never let your head go too far above or too far below your chest. This creates an unnatural alignment for your spine that can lead to chronic aches and pains and can cause permanent damage to the back muscles. For that matter, using a big squishy pillow isn’t a great idea either, as your head will be placed far too high.
A suitable pillow for back pain provides good support and spinal alignment can help in bulging disc or arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis, and degenerative disc. There are many types of pillows for back pain out there in the market that can help you get rid of lower back pain. In this blog, we’ll explore what to look for in a pillow that can help with lower back pain.
