An ergonomic pillow supports the position of your head and neck
Ergonomic pillows are designed to support the position of the head and neck, especially when sleeping on your back or side. Sisustus1.fi offers models such as Pillowise, Symbio Ergonomic, Comfort Air and Høie Contour, which adapt to the user's shape in different ways.
When might an ergonomic pillow be a good choice?
Consider an ergonomic pillow if an ordinary pillow seems to leave your neck unsupported or if you often wake with tension around your neck and shoulders. A moulded pillow keeps the head more stable than loose, adjustable filling. For some models, the manufacturer states that the pillow may reduce snoring by supporting a better sleeping position. A pillow is not, however, a treatment for sleep apnoea or another medical condition.
Choose pillow height according to your sleeping position
The right height depends on your sleeping position, shoulder profile and personal preference. Side sleepers generally suit a higher model that fills the gap between the shoulder and neck, while a lower profile supports the neck's natural curve for back and stomach sleepers. Pillowise has seven size options, with the right one chosen based on measurements around the neck and shoulders.
Memory foam and other supportive materials
Most ergonomic pillows in the range are made of memory foam, which responds to body heat and weight and returns to its original shape after use. Material construction and feel vary by model; exact details are given in the individual product information.
How do you get used to a new ergonomic pillow?
A new pillow that offers more support than your previous one may feel firmer during the first few nights. Allow your body a few nights to adjust before making a final assessment. If you prefer a softer, more mouldable feel, explore our fibre pillows and down and silk pillows.
