Using the right pillow can help you sleep longer and feel more rested. The National Sleep Foundation advises:
Health Tips
* For back sleepers, use a thinner pillow with a thicker area at the bottom for better neck support.
* Stomach sleepers should use the thinnest possible pillow, to reduce strain on the lower back.
* Side sleepers should opt for a thick pillow with a wide edge, to fill the area between the shoulder and ear.
* Wedging a pillow between the knees can help ease lower back strain.
* Replace a pillow after about 18 months of nightly use.
