Why Ergonomic Pillows Are Better for Neck Pain
Normal pillows force your neck into unnatural positions. If you sleep on your back, a flat pillow pushes your head forward, straining suboccipital muscles. Side sleepers need more loft to fill the shoulder gap – most flat pillows are too low. Derila's ergonomic design solves both issues with its dual-sided shape.
The Science Behind Contoured Pillows
Studies show that cervical support pillows reduce pain scores by 56% compared to traditional pillows. They also improve sleep efficiency (time spent actually asleep) by maintaining proper alignment.
Who Should Use a Normal Pillow?
Stomach sleepers may prefer very flat, soft pillows – but stomach sleeping is not recommended. If you cannot change position, a thin, soft pillow is safest. However, side and back sleepers should always use an ergonomic pillow.
