Best Pillow
Your build and personal preference are the deciding factors while choosing the right size for a water pillow. Start with a water pillow that looks 'right' for you and lie down the way you usually do and slip the pillow under your neck. Take a moment to 'settle down' then turn around and try your favorite sleeping postures. Next, try a slightly bigger water pillow and test it for comfort and try a few progressively bigger sizes, thickness etc.
Comfort is not the only factor while picking your water pillow. Support is equally important. More so if you have special needs, such as back pain, neck pain or a frozen shoulder. A good contour water pillow is shaped to ensure neutral spinal alignment, helping to relax the supporting muscles and relieve stiff neck and back pain. While water pillow neck support is proven to help people with cervical problems, you need to ensure that the type of neck pillow you buy provides the right level of comfort and neck support all night long. Many of the special neck water pillow types available in the market today have not been designed or recommended by a registered physiotherapist or neurosurgeon.
Leading neurosurgeon Dr. Berke has found much success in his quest to provide effective neck support for people who suffer from neck or back problems. Don't just confine yourself to the stores, make a few calls and look on the Internet for the best value. Many manufacturers allow you to try your water pillow or mattress risk-free and return it within 30 days for a full refund. Finally, make sure you do not end up comparing apples and oranges so before you buy a water pillow, compare all the features and put it to the "Better Sleep" Test!
