The Queen of Neck Pillows

How Many Pillows Should I Sleep With??

I was just speaking to someone that told me she got in the habit of sleeping with two pillows. I told her this isn't a great idea and that you should sleep with one pillow. You see, typically when sleeping with 2 pillows on your back and your head is flexed forward; this flattens out the neck curve. Not enough pillow and it flattens the curve too. Not enough or too much on your side literally flexes the head toward the ceiling or down to the bed.

A neck pillow on the other hand helps you keep and improve that neck curve when on your back and for side sleeping; the pillow will keep the spine level.

What Should My Pillow Be Made Of?

Pillows can be made of all sorts of things. What we are usually referring to,is what is it stuffed with? feathers, fiber, water, or is it foam...?

I personally like the synthetic fiber. It's typically made hypoallergenic, it's reasonable price,it lasts, and it's comfortable.

Here's the thing, down or feather is harder to allergen proof, and it compresses too much, foam pillows,including memory foam are very firm or hard. Water pillows can just be messy filling them up or taking water out.

A Pillow with Many Uses in Bed

Do You Wash Your Pillow?

Whenever washing your neck pillow I would do a gentle hand wash followed by air drying. This assure that you won't break any fibers of the pillow down.

Machine washing and drying your pillow may break down the fibers of the pillow. This can cause your pillow to lose support. Over time pillows will wear out and lose support, but why yake a chance and make this happen sooner than it should.

Why So Many Neck Pillows So Hard?

Why So Many Neck Pillows So Hard?

The reason some pillows are firm or hard is to maintain their support.  Especially when there is a neck roll to support the necks's natural alignment.  The fact is however, if it's too hard, you're not going to have a comfortable night's sleep.

Therefore, the key is a happy medium.  A neck pillow that's not too hard, yet not too soft.  It actually doesn't have to be so hard, that it does't squish down a little.  And it does't have to be so soft it compresses down until it's flat!

A pillow like the cervical linear traction pillow, or the natural alignment pillow fit the bill.  Both of these pillows hold neck support with a very comfortable feeling.  So for anyone really but especially those worried because the las neck pillow they tried was like sleeping on a rock, try arc4life.com for your pillow source.

How Many Pillows Can I Sleep On?

Preferably you should sleep on one pillow. Why? Too many will flex your head forward when you are on your back. It will crank your head sideways to the ceiling when on your side. No pillow or a pillow too thin will do the opposite.

And, on your back, it won’t support the healthy neck curve! So use on pillow but make sure it’s a neck pillow that fits your body size.

The Arc4life Linear Gravity Pillows Now Come in a Firm Support Level

One of the pillows that I am quite fond of is the arc4life linear gravity pillow. These pillows are great because they provide effective neck support while one is sleeping on their back on their side. 

Recently Arc4life added a new gravity pillow called the Arc4life linear gravity pillow FIRM. These neck pillows now have 25 % more fiber in the top and the bottom rolls of the support pillows. These are great for someone who likes a firmer pillow.

Another advantage to the arc4life gravity pillows is that they come in sizes small, medium and large. It is very important to get the right size of neck pillow so that you have optimal support for the cervical spine. 

Finally, because this pillow has more fiber stuffed into, it will last longer. Just keep in mind that it is firmer, so that may take a little longer to get used for some. 

Here are the links for each of the arc4life linear gravity firm pillows:

1. Arc4life linear gravity pillow FIRM small (dimensions: 23"x17")
2. Arc4life linear gravity pillow FIRM medium (dimensions: 20"x26"
3. Arc4life linear gravity pillow FIRM large (dimensions: 21"x33")

What is the difference between the traction pillow and the average pillow?

We get a lot of questions regarding the arc4life traction pillow. There are two big differences between the arc4life linear traction neck pillow and the average pillow. First, most other pillows do not have a neck roll. The neck roll is  a very important feature of the cltraction pillow. The Neck Roll helps to restore the necks cervical curvature. This is the most important aspects of neck alignment. A proper curvature keeps the spinal cord relaxed and nerves travelling out of the spine without interference.

The next important feature that seperates this pillow from others is the "v" for gentle traction. Just this gentle neck stretch helps to open up the holes where nerves exit the spine with no pressure or interference. 

Lastly, is the fact that you can rotate the pillow 180 degrees and have a side with no "v" but just the neck roll alone. Basically, you have two pillows in one.

A Chiropractic Neck Pillow that Works to Promote Good Neck Posture

Today I want to showcase a very popular pillow that is used by many patients and recommended by many chiropractors: The Chiropractic Cervical Support Neck Pillow. It is a contoured neck pillow that works to align the spine in the most natural position for sleeping. The two neck rolls will contour perfectly to the cervical spine. The dimensions of this pillow are 24"x16" and it fits a standard pillow case nicely. This pillow is great for someone with neck pain, stiff neck, or muscle spasms. It works great in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments and keeps the spine properly aligned.
