Bedroom Pillows

Remsleep mattress and bedding knows that a good mattress isn't the only thing needed for a restful night's sleep; having the right bedroom pillow can be a game changer. Your bedroom pillow directly dictates spinal alignment and pressure relief. The proper loft(height) and firmness prevent your neck from bending at awkward angles.  This protects you from chronic morning pain, headaches, and interrupted sleep cycles

Side Sleepers: Require the thickest, firmest pillows.  The pillow needs to fill the empty space between your shoulder and neck, keeping your spine completely parallel to the mattress.

Back sleepers benefit most from medium-firm pillows.  They cradle your neck's natural curve while slightly elevating your head to prevent it from pushing too far.
Stomach sleepers: Require thin, soft, and almost flat pillows, this prevents unnatural neck extension and twisting.

Individuals with acid reflux often need a firmer, angled wedge pillow to elevate the head and shoulders, using gravity to prevent stomach acid from rising.

The pillow combination to achieve REM sleep involves a supportive head pillow that keeps your neck neutral, paired with a body or knee pillow that relieves pressure on your spine.  This setup prevents tossing and turning, allowing you to cycle properly into deeper, restorative stages of sleep.

The ideal configuration depends entirely on your preferred sleep position:

  • Side sleepers: A firm, high-loft pillow under your head to fill the gap between your shoulder and neck. Place a contour knee pillow between your knees to align your hips and prevent lower back strain.
  • Back Sleepers: A thin, medium-loft pillow with a contoured center cradles the natural curve of your neck. Slide a wedge pillow under your knees to reduce pressure on your lower back.
  • Stomach sleepers: Use an ultra-thin, soft pillow for your head (or go without one to prevent neck-strain).  Place a flat pillow under your pelvis to keep your spine from sinking into the mattress
