One of the most ancient luxury items is a pillow. It is evident that humans realized the need to place something soft and comfy beneath the head for quality resting. From the oldest caves of prehistory to the most modern palaces, pillows have transcended a long way along with humanity. Pillows are used by other species, such as cats even in the wild. Some common types of pillows include body pillows, decorative pillows, and many more. Pillows are basically any form of bedding that supports the head and the neck and keeps the spine and the neck in their natural alignment. Many pillows are designed scientifically to give the best possible support and maintain a proper structure, very often they are also used as decorations in sofas and cushions. We invest so much in so many things but little do we think while purchasing a pillow. Not using the right pillow can increase the chances of headaches, neck and back pain, shoulder and arm numbness, sneezing, and other discomforts. Therefore it is important to know how your pillow is responsible for these problems. A pillow by itself is not the harbinger of such symptoms, but the various other factors correlated to using the pillow such as improper sleeping posture often a lethal cause. Doctors have said, people with sleeping disorders, which can be traced back to using a damaged or unfit pillow, often experience lower back and spine problems, especially in the middle ages. Getting the right pillow might be tricky but it’s extremely important to find the pillow satisfying your sleeping posture and framework. Each sleeping position puts a certain amount of strain on your spine in a different way. The scientific explanation for the need for the right pillow is that it put the body in proper neural alignment, that is, the head sits squarely on top of the shoulders and the head neither leans too back nor is raised too much in front. Body pillows are highly efficient in relaxing the spine and preventing any type of strain that can result in orthopedic diseases.
