Best Pillows For Side Sleepers UK
Sleep specialists say that sleeping on your side is the most comfortable way to sleep, unlike sleeping on your back or on your stomach, as it decreases the likeliness of an interrupted sleep. When done correctly with the proper body alignment, sleeping on your side can reduce both joint and low back pain, as well as chronic pain associated with long-term conditions like fibromyalgia. Another benefit to sleeping on your side is reduced snoring, a common symptom experienced in obstructive sleep apnea. The inconvenience of side sleeping is that most of the body’s pressure relies over the arms and shoulders which in turn creates neck stiffness and possibly even frozen shoulder. This can be solved with a side sleeper pillow that allows the correct placement of the neck, arms and shoulders. Side sleeping is advised if you suffer from pain in the lower body such as the hips or back and also if you are pregnant. It’s very important to make sure that you’ve got the right pillow to ensure a heavenly sleep; if you have the wrong pillow for your favoured sleep position it can result in sleep disorders and disruptions.

Knee Pillows
Pillows aren't just for your head. You can use pillows to support yourself on your lower half, too. Research suggests placing a pillow between the knees can relieve pain and lead to a more restful night's sleep. If you experience back pain a knee pillow is an affordable solution that may bring you some relief. Situating a pillow between your legs helps keep the knees aligned on top of one another, which in turn keeps your hip and pelvic area aligned as well as possibly preventing the upper leg from pulling the spine out of alignment. Knee pillow benefits are also well known to be beneficial to pregnant women. Sleeping comfortably can be a difficult task sometimes but even more so when pregnant. A pillow between or under the knees aligns the spine and hips better and adds some extra special coziness. Hip and spinal alignment are crucial to ensuring quality sleep comfort and restful sleep.
