Pillow Guides

Most recliner sleeping fails on two things: an unsupported neck gap and legs left below the heart. Here is the angle, the pillow, the leg setup and the safety limits.

Hypermobile necks lack a firm stop, so the pillow must hold the head still. Loft numbers, positions, the CCI red flags, and our honest pick for EDS.

Fibromyalgia makes pressure hurt and sleep fragile. The medium-firm loft that spreads the load, positions and whole-bed set-up, red flags, and our pick.

No pillow prevents migraine, but neck pain and a tender scalp are common. The loft and surface that help, attack-night positions, red flags, and our pick.

Tension headaches and sore neck muscles feed each other overnight. The low, firm loft that helps, positions to avoid, red flags, and our pick.

After a concussion the neck is usually strained too, and that drives headaches and poor sleep. The loft numbers, the positions, the red flags, and our pick.

Thoracic outlet syndrome flares when an arm goes overhead in your sleep. The loft that makes the arm redundant, the positions to stop, and when to see a clinician.

For BPPV the Epley manoeuvre is the treatment and a wedge matters more than a pillow. When a contoured pillow helps, the first-week sleep setup, and the red flags.

TMJ pain at night is a pressure problem: side sleeping loads the jaw, back sleeping does not. The loft that keeps the head level, positions to avoid, and our pick.

Neck arthritis (cervical spondylosis) stiffens overnight. The pillow loft that keeps worn facet joints neutral, positions to avoid, and what helps morning stiffness more.
