Pillow Selection by Sleep Position

For Side Sleepers

Look for medium to firm pillows with good loft to maintain neck alignment. Memory foam and latex work well.

For Back Sleepers

Choose pillows with medium loft for neutral spine position. Down and hybrid pillows are ideal.

For Stomach Sleepers

Low-loft pillows prevent neck strain. Thin memory foam or specialty stomach pillows recommended.
