Which neck pillow is the best?

How do neck pillows work?
Which neck pillow should you choose?
Wondering which neck pillow is the best for you? That's a great step! Choosing the right orthopedic sleeping pillow is key to healthy sleep, which is vital for body regeneration and spinal health, especially the cervical spine. Ordinary pillows, similar to the famous wave-shaped pillows, often do not fulfill their function, causing many people to experience muscle tension, neck pain, or even migraines, as well as many other ailments. ONSEN® neck pain pillows, specially designed for supporting the cervical spine, help avoid these issues.

ONSEN® is a Polish brand whose neck pillows differ significantly from other pillows in both shape and material. This translates into functionalities of the pillows, which are not only more numerous but also more practical. Their task is to maintain the natural shape of the neck, regardless of the sleeping position. We offer unique orthopedic pillows that have been designed with health in mind, but also user comfort. They cater to diverse needs, ensuring comfortable and healthy sleep.

It is important for a neck pain pillow to be tailored to the user's needs. The user’s weight, height, and shoulder width are very important, as is sometimes the firmness of the mattress. It is also crucial to remember that while sleeping on your back, the face should be directed towards the ceiling to always avoid the head tilting towards the chest, which could lead to blocked airways. Meanwhile, while sleeping on the side, as a rule, the head and spine should form a straight line. It is also advisable to use a pillow between the knees to relieve pressure on the hips and lower spine.

How do neck pillows work?

The primary task of a neck pillow is to maintain the head and neck in the correct position. When sleeping on your back, the head should be facing the ceiling, and possibly slightly tilted backward. This helps to maintain the natural curvature of the spine, especially the cervical region. Moreover, this sleeping position prevents overloads, acting soothingly and pain-relieving. Most importantly, it also helps keep the airways open, reducing the risk of snoring or sleep apnea.

In the case of side sleeping, it is important that the head is aligned straight with the spine. This eliminates tension in the neck and shoulders, allowing for relaxation. The pillow should be high enough to fill the space between the shoulder and the head, providing stability and comfort. Additionally, placing a small pillow between the knees helps reduce spinal load.

The profile of an ergonomic neck pillow adapts to the natural curves of the neck, minimizing pressure on muscles and joints. It is important that the orthopedic pillow has the right firmness. A too soft pillow will not provide sufficient support, while sleeping on a pillow that is too hard can cause pressure and discomfort, damaging health. It is advisable to opt for high resilience foam pillows rather than memory foam. These combine the ideal firmness with flexibility, allowing the pillow to conform to the shape of the body without the sinking effect.

Which neck pillow should you choose?

ONSEN® produces three models of neck pillows that are tailored to body structure. All of them are cast from 3D molds, which allows for the preservation of physiological shapes. Moreover, each is made from HR foam, and they come standard with special orthopedic pillow covers that can be easily removed and washed.

Our bestseller is the Asana neck pillow, dedicated to people of average height and weight. It is suitable for those with average shoulder width who sleep on a medium to firm mattress. Its design supports the natural curves of the cervical spine, helping to prevent neck and head pain. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the Asana pillow works well in both back and side sleeping positions, providing stability and comfort.

The universal Enso neck pillow is dedicated to people with a smaller build who sleep on any firmness of mattress, but not only. It also works well for people of standard build who sleep on a medium or soft mattress. One side of the pillow supports treatment and rehabilitation, and the other is ideal for prevention.

The last model is the Hiro neck pillow dedicated to people with a robust build. It is a pillow for people with a larger body mass, and thus wider shoulders. Its higher profile and larger dimensions provide stable support for the most demanding users. It is also an excellent solution for overweight individuals who need a stable pillow.

Choosing the right neck pillow is crucial for body regeneration. ONSEN® pillows combine health-promoting technologies with functional design, offering solutions tailored to various user needs, satisfying their needs. Thanks to ergonomic shapes and dynamic materials, these pillows support spinal health, improving sleep quality.

We also encourage you to explore other articles on the best sleep and health blog, as well as the Encyclopedia of Healthy Sleep prepared by the ONSEN® team of specialists. For those who care about spine health, we recommend a set of spine exercises prepared by our physiotherapist.

FAQ: Neck pillows

Which neck pillow is worth choosing?

Choosing the right neck pillow is very important for maintaining healthy sleep and well-being. The best option is an HR foam neck pillow, cast from 3D molds, which allows it to perfectly adapt to the natural curvatures of the neck. These types of pillows feature an anatomical shape that supports the spine in various sleeping positions. ONSEN® pillow models are tailored to the diverse body structures of users, ensuring comfort and improving sleep quality.

Can an orthopedic pillow cause neck pain?

Orthopedic pillows that do not have an ergonomic shape, such as wave-shaped ones, especially those made from memory foam, can indeed cause neck pain. Memory foam, due to its properties that cause it to sink under body temperature, fundamentally does not provide adequate support. However, a properly selected high resilience foam orthopedic pillow provides the right support and should not cause neck pain.

How to use a neck pillow?

Using a neck pillow requires adjusting it to individual sleep needs. The pillow should have special profiles that allow for the natural positioning of the head and neck during back sleeping, as well as other profiles suitable for side sleeping. It is important that the pillow fills the space between the neck and the mattress, maintaining the head in a natural position, thus directed towards the ceiling when sleeping on the back, and in a straight line with the spine when sleeping on the side. The proper position must also be maintained for the neck and shoulders.

Why is it beneficial to sleep on an orthopedic pillow?

Sleeping on an orthopedic pillow stabilizes the neck, head, and shoulders, contributing to muscle relaxation and comfort during sleep. Since high resilience pillows are made from materials that conform to the anatomical shape of the body, they perfectly adapt to the user's needs, providing the right support and can significantly improve sleep quality.

How to recognize a contoured pillow for neck pain?

A contoured pillow for neck pain should have an anatomical shape that supports the natural curvature of the cervical spine. Such ergonomic pillows, like those from ONSEN®, are designed with various sleeping positions in mind. This in turn ensures that they are created to reduce muscle tension and provide appropriate neck support.
