The Best Appropriate Pillow for the Neck‏- Advice Needed from Singapore

Hi Sir/Madam,

Greetings from Singapore

This is Yi Ling. I am looking for the correct pillow to relief my stiff neck, muscle ach shoulder, and numbness in arm every morning after sleep

My profile as follows:

• Name: Yi Ling.T
• Age: 51 years old
• Gender: Female
• Race: Chinese
• Nationality: Singapore
• Height: 1.59m
• Weight: 56 kg
• Neck size: circumference: 34 to 35 cm
• Height of neck: 10cm (from my bottom of hairline down to the big bone of the neck spine)
• Sleeping position: sleep on back – head/face is facing up

My Problem: Suffering from the following for about 3 months:

• Stiff neck
• tight chess
• muscle ach in shoulder
• pain in the arm “socket” (the position where shoulder joins the arm)
• numbness in right arm every morning after wake up from sleep

Based on the above, could you please recommend the appropriate neck pillow?

Also the size (whether it is S, M or L) and the density (soft, medium, firm?)

There are so many types of pillows available from you.  But I wish to hear from your professional views and advise/recommendation the most appropriate pillow that best suit me :

• The Linear Gravity neck Pillow
• The Cervical Traction Neck Pillow
• The TriCore Cervical Support Neck Pillow

I look forward to hearing from you soonest

Yours sincerely

- Yi Ling.

Dear Yi Ling,

Thank you for your email. I will be happy to suggest an appropriate neck pillow for you. Thank you for giving me information about yourself and also what type of pain you are having.

I would  recommend the arc4life cervical linear traction neck pillow for you.  Size Medium 24”x17”or Small 20”x15”, Regular support.

If have a preference for a smaller pillow, get the small size in the arc4life traction pillow family. I think based on your height and weight the medium will be better for you. 

Yi Ling, you also mentioned 2 other pillows that you were thinking of. It can be confusing because each family of neck-pillows has various sizes and various levels of support. 

The Linear Gravity neck Pillow - This pillow is great because it can provide two levels of support with two neck rolls. Because you are also exhibiting pain and numbness, you need a gentle stretch in the cervical spine as well. The Arc4life traction pillow provides that. 

The Cervical Traction Neck Pillow - best recommendation for you

The TriCore Cervical Support Neck Pillow - too thick and too firm for you especially with all the pain you are experiencing. I want you to have a neck pillow that you can start using right away. With the arc4life traction neck pillow there is a softer side and a firmer side. If you are having a lot of neck pain or achiness, start by using the softer side which is the support side of the pillow.

Yes, Arc4life ships to Singapore. If you are interested, please fill out the international shipping form.  Shipping is usually via Global Priority Mail through the United States Postal Service. Please email us back if you have any further questions about pillows.

Hi I am also from Singapore. My problem is also very serious. I suffer for 5 years of thoracic pain. I went to MRI but I was fine. The doctor said it was due to my sleeping posture. Over these 5 years, i changed alot of pillows but non work. Lately i switch to becoming back sleeper and my thoracic pain seem to be gradually improved. But now i suffer from severe neck and shoulder pain. I will also like to try out this pillow. Can help me get in touch with arc4life ? Thanks.
