We’ve all had those restless nights where it’s 3am and you’re trying fruitlessly to punch the pillow into shape. Times when no matter how much you plump, you can’t get the right position for your head. Getting a good pillow can be just as important as picking the best mattress, and it isn’t a simple matter of comfort.
Sleep posture expert James Leinhardt believes choosing the right pillow is essential to enjoying a restful, rejuvenating sleep. As James explains, with a bad pillow, the body can twist into all kinds of uncomfortable shapes in the night. “The second you fall asleep, it's like - imagine being a dead weight. So your head drops, it moves because it has no form, and [you move too]” James says.
