Unique neck pillows for a relaxed and restful sleep

What is a neck pillow good for?

For people who suffer from tension in the neck and shoulder area, a neck pillow is a good choice.

The good neck pillow embeds the head in a comfortable position, promotes relaxation of the neck muscles, and thus contributes to a better quality of sleep.

In addition to its ergonomic shape, the neck pillow also impresses with its viscose foam filling, which adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and returns to its original shape when relieved, providing support and protection against pain.

Conventional pillows filled with down collapse over the course of the night and lose their function of supporting the head and neck. Furthermore, with a normal pillow you run the risk of lying either too flat or too high, which overstretches the spine. If you sleep for several hours in such an unhealthy position, back, neck and headaches will quickly appear.

The function of a neck pillow is to position your head and neck in the correct anatomical position at night. From an orthopedic point of view, neck support pillows are generally recommended and can definitely help to contribute to a relaxed sleep.

Neck support pillows are ideal when it comes to supporting the head and relieving the spine together with the neck muscles.

Even men with broad shoulders often don't get along with a conventional pillow because it's simply too low. A neck support pillow filled with Viscomind at the right height is particularly advisable here. Like our favorite pillow, available immediately in 4 different heights.

How to choose the right neck pillow?

There are side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers - for each type there are different neck pillow models in different heights.
