Considering our heads spend approximately eight hours a night on a pillow,
selecting the proper one is just as important as selecting a mattress.

Choosing the proper pillow can prevent neck pain, upper back pain and
headaches.

Pillows are designed differently for side, back or stomach sleepers.

An ideal pillow for a side sleeper would be a firm pillow because it
fills in the distance created between the surface of the bed and the sleepers
shoulders.

A back sleeper would do best with a medium-density pillow because it
cradles the head and provides the right amount of neck support.

Doctors recommend not sleeping on your stomach, but 11 percent of
consumers do.

Body size is also a factor in determining pillow type. Larger people do
better with firmer pillows, while smaller people need softer pillows.
