The Queen of Neck Pillows

The Normal Anatomy Of The Neck...

Looking at our neck or cervical spine, we have a series of bones that stack up on each other; 7 cervical vertebrae in fact.  C2-C7 have a disc in between them and a nerve root that exits near them.

 

Our neck spine should be straight up and down when looking at it from the front or back. This is referred to as the A-P view on an X-ray or other enhanced image.  From the side, or lateral view, we should have a smooth flowing C-curvature.  The c should open toward the back; I say that because some individuals actually have a reversal of their curvature.

 

The arc4life cervical traction pillow is designed to hold and improve this alignment.  With a built in neck roll and "V" or pocket where your head sits, it helps the normal alignment.

 

This is the real goal of your neck pillow - keep the neck alignment good, therefore better sleep health...

By Now I'm Sure You've Got Used To The Time Change

 

 

There are a number of things that may interrupt our sleep.  It's tough enough without having to deal with time changes too.  Yes, this may throw you off a bit but here's a few other things that you can control to give you a better nights sleep.  Those things are:

 

1. Your Pillow,  - a pillow that is too big or small and doesn't fit to your head and neck can increase your chances for a neck strain.  Not only can this hamper your day when you get up but it'll irritate your sleep too.

 

2. Your Sleep Schedule - waking and going to bed at various times doesn't allow your body to develop a natural sleep pattern.

 

3. Your Eating Habits - certain things in your diet and when you eat or drink them can hurt your sleep.

Some Of Us Just Like A Big Pillow

 

No matter what anyone says, it's what you like and are comfortable on.  For example the large traction pillow at arc4life is really for someone about 6'1" or above, but again everyone's different.

 

People come in all shapes and sizes. Some people may be short but have an extremely long neck or a football players neck (in other word, a big thick one).  So it maybe a case of trying it and seeing if it woks for you.

 

Anyhow, that's about the usual height requirement, on the taller side anyway.  If you're under 5 feet however, the medium might even be too big.  You can always call arc4life to speak with someone and make sure you are getting the right pillow.
