Lately, I have received a few phone calls and emails about getting the right pillow if you have neck and shoulder pain. These two symptoms seem to go hand in hand. Often times neck pain can lead into shoulder pain especially if you are not able to get into a comfortable position for sleeping. Another culprit of this type of pain is people who work on computers all day long, in one position. Also remember nerves in the neck directly innervate the upper shoulder and upper back area.
Which pillow works well for this scenario? I would have to recommend the bow-tie pillow. It actually looks like a man's bow tie, that one would wear with a suit. Its designed to support the head and the neck. The special bow tie shape eases neck and shoulder pain and keeps the head and neck properly aligned. It is especially comfortable for side sleepers. The pillow is 19"x25 1/2 ".
