How to choose a pillow that is ergonomically correct?

How to choose the right pillow based on ergonomics? Solve your doubts according to research for Doux Nuage Pillow.

Have you ever wondered why it's important to choose the right pillow for your sleeping position? Numerous ergonomic studies have suggested that maintaining a natural, straight cervical spine during sleep is the most important factor in preventing and relieving neck, shoulder, and back pain.

Choosing the right pillow for your body and sleeping position will reduce stress on your muscles and tendons, improve blood circulation, and also affect your overall sleep quality. Doux Nuage Pillow offers a variety of firmness levels to meet this support requirement.

Let's see which Doux Nuage Pillow is best for which sleeping position, based on research-based principles:

1. Soft firmness pillow

* Suitable for: Prone Sleepers

* Ergonomics: Sleeping on your stomach is the most stressful position for your neck. Choosing the softest, flattest pillow will lower your head to a level closest to your torso, which reduces cervical spine twisting and muscle tension (Edgar et al., 2021). Using a pillow that is too firm or too high for this sleeping position will further increase your risk of chronic neck pain.

2. Medium firmness pillow

* Suitable for: Supine Sleepers

* Ergonomic principles: Back sleepers should use a pillow with a medium firmness and the right height to ensure that their head and neck are properly supported, without the head being unnaturally raised or lowered. Research from Hadian & Jafarian (2018) indicates that a pillow with the right firmness helps maintain the ergonomic curve of the cervical spine, providing the best protection against pain.

3. Firm pillow level

* Suitable for: Lateral Sleepers

* Ergonomics: Side sleepers need a pillow that is firm and high enough to effectively fill the space between their ears and shoulders to maintain a straight line between their cervical spine and their thoracic and lumbar spine (Jeon et al., 2014). A firm pillow will prevent the head from sinking in during the night, providing consistent, stable support.

summarize:

Choosing a pillow isn't just about comfort, it's about maintaining overall spinal health. The Doux Nuage Pillow is designed with specific support needs in mind, based on scientific principles, so you can confidently and informedly choose the right pillow for your body and sleeping habits.
