Another recommendation from me - over the course of maybe a year I went from sleeping with two pillows, to one tucked into my neck, to none at all, and found my longstanding cricked neck problems pretty much went away.
For ages I had suspected that something was wrong in my bed, but couldn't work out what it was, the only way I could describe it was I felt like I was "wallowing". Getting a soft mattress topper turned out to be a costly mistake, so instead I went the other way.
I was aiming to get such a comfortable bed that I wouldn't have to move. I think this was a misconception and that moving during the night is actually a necessary part of healthy sleep.
Although as a father of a toddler I have only a tantalisingly theoretical grasp on what healthy sleep is any more.
- EricE 6y agoI agree - I've been sleeping without pillows for over 20 years now and I rarely have back or neck issues. Not that they were common before I stopped using them (I would have occasional issues), but then again I was a lot younger back then too ;)
- graeme 6y agoDo you sleep on your back or your side with no pillow? If on your side, how do you stop your head from dangling sideways? (Since should is lower than neck is)
- Arrath 6y agoFor me, I often sleep on my arm as it makes a great pillow.
