Anatomické polštáře

Everyone needs a different pillow based on their individual needs. For your sleep, it's important not only to choose the right mattress and bed, but also the right pillow. Choosing the wrong pillow can lead to neck and spine pain. The ideal pillow should support your neck in a horizontal position along with your spine, ensuring that your head is in natural extension and not bent.

Health pillows have a core made from foam material, most commonly from polyurethane foam or memory foam. Thus, anatomical pillows adapt exactly to the shape of your head and neck, allowing you to sleep in an ergonomically correct position all night long. The pillow provides support from your shoulders to your neck, enabling blood to flow freely and preventing any muscle tension and pain in the neck and head.

Advantages of the Anatomical Pillow

• An anatomical pillow provides adequate support, keeping your neck and back in an ergonomically correct position while you sleep.
• Ideal for those who suffer from headaches, neck, or back pain. An ergonomic pillow prevents muscle tension and thus pain.
• Contributes to overall restfulness and quality sleep.

Pillow Height for Different Sleep Positions

Choosing the ideal pillow is essential based on your body structure, shoulder size, and also your usual sleeping position. A pillow that gives you the right support is key to good sleep conditions. The firmness of your mattress also affects the choice of an anatomical pillow.

On Your Side

If you sleep on your side, it's important that the pillow supports your head in such a way that it remains level with the spine and the cervical vertebrae do not bend unnaturally. Sleeping on your side is also recommended for those who snore, as this position may help reduce snoring.

On Your Back

If you prefer sleeping on your back, you should choose lower pillows that provide optimal support for the neck.

On Your Stomach

Sleeping on your stomach puts your neck in an unnatural position. If you cannot imagine sleeping in any other way than on your stomach, you should opt for the smallest and thinnest pillows to minimize unnatural bending of the cervical spine.

Anatomical Pillow Between the Knees

A special feature is the anatomical pillow between the knees, which ensures the proper anatomical position of the thigh bones and pelvis when lying on your side. The pillow helps relieve muscles around the lower back and pelvis. It supports the legs and relaxes the muscles in the legs.

When to Use an Ergonomic Pillow Between the Knees and Legs

• An ergonomic pillow is suitable for sleeping during pregnancy, helping to relax the muscles.
• The pillow helps relieve swollen and tired legs.
• Suitable for long-term bedridden patients, as it reduces the risk of bedsores.
• Recommended after hip surgery or hip replacement surgery. It aids in patient recovery.
• For all types of people who want to contribute to their body's health and particularly to the proper body position during sleep.

TIP: If you believe that any pillow you have at home provides perfect support, the opposite may be true. The power of habit is great, and you feel you're sleeping well, but your body position might not be in ergonomically correct alignment and doesn't offer optimal sleep conditions. It may take a while to get used to a new pillow. We recommend alternating pillows at first. However, we don't advise sleeping on more than one pillow at the same time.
