While sheets and mattresses get all the attention, it turns out that pillow - with their puffiness (or fill) and construction - have an even bigger impact on your sleep. A pillow that doesnt keep your head aligned with your spine can contribute to neck pain, muscle tension, snoring, and interrupted sleep, according to sleep expert. Michael Breus, Ph.D. Here's a guide to choosing the pillow that's just right for you. IF YOU'RE A STOMACH SLEEPER you want a fairly flat pillow so your head doesn't arch up. IF YOU'RE A BACK SLEEPER a puffy pillow will push your head forward, leading to a stiff neck. Look for a medium-fill pillow instead. IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES choose a hypoallergenic synthetic pillow, and add a densely woven barrier cover. If you often wake up feeling stuffy, you're probably allergic to dust mites. IF YOU'RE A SWEATY SLEEPER a pillow made with cooling, temperature-sensitive foam can actually reduce night sweats. IF YOU'RE A SIDE SLEEPER a puffy pillow with dense fill keeps you head in line with your spine. Try a leg spacer pillow too, for alignment.
