All Sleeping Positions

The way you sleep can significantly impact your comfort and overall health. But please keep in mind, finding the perfect pillow is not just about sleeping position, it goes far beyond that. Several factors must come into play: bed / mattress firmness, pillow filling material, potential medical needs, allergies and many more. And let's face it, our needs can change over time. And this is where our Lunarto® adjustable pillow shines again!

Lunarto®'s personalised tailoring lets you create a perfect fit that adapts to  any sleeping position and evolves with your changing needs.

No more second-guessing or tossing and turning - simply adjust your pillow whenever necessary and experience sleep like never before!

I. Side Sleepers:

Side sleepers are the most common type, accounting for about 70% of the population. Side sleeping is a good position for people with sleep apnea, as it can help to keep the airway open. Side sleeping can also help to reduce back pain and neck pain. However, side sleeping can put strain on the hips and can also cause wrinkles on the face. 

    Side sleepers need a firmer pillow to support the head and neck and prevent the neck from tilting too far forward. A pillow that is too soft will not provide enough support, and your neck will be forced into an unnatural position, leading to pain and discomfort. To sum-up:

    • Choose a pillow that is about 10-15cm high.
    • Look for a pillow that is firm enough to support your head and neck when you are on your side.
    • Consider a contour pillow, which has a curved shape that can help to cradle your head and prevent excessive forward or backward tilting.

    II. Back Sleepers:

    Back sleepers are the second most common type, making up about 20% of the population. Back sleeping is a good position for people with neck pain and back pain, as it helps to keep the spine in a neutral position. Back sleeping can also help to reduce snoring. However, back sleeping can make it more difficult to breathe, and it can also cause heartburn.

    Back Sleepers need a medium-firm pillow to maintain the natural curvature of the cervical spine. A pillow that is too soft will allow the head to sink too deeply into the pillow, while a pillow that is too firm will push the head too far forward, both of which can lead to neck pain and discomfort, potentially also snoring. To sum-up:

    • Choose a pillow that is about 8-10cm high.
    • Look for a pillow that is medium-firm to maintain the natural curvature of your spine.
    • Consider a cervical pillow, which has a hump in the centre that can help to support your neck.

     

    III. Stomach Sleepers:

    While stomach sleeping is less common, around 10% of us enjoy it! To optimise comfort and support, choose a soft pillow to prevent your head from sinking and causing neck strain. Avoid overly firm pillows that push your head up, and consider a rolled towel under your abdomen for neutral spine alignment. Remember, stomach sleeping can put some strain on your neck and spine, and can also make it more difficult to breathe and can cause snoring. So if possible, exploring other positions like side sleeping might offer even better comfort and sleep quality. To sum-up:

    • Choose a pillow that is about 5-8 cm high.
    • Look for a pillow that is soft enough, but prevent your head from sinking too deeply into the pillow.
    • Consider soft and moldable pillows.
