When you look at your bed, you probably have a pillow (or several) on it.
The whole point of using a pillow is to keep your spine in whatHealthlinecalls a “neutral position.”
Sometimes, though, the pillow you’re sleeping on, might not work well for you.
According to theUniversity of Rochester Medical Center, you should choose a pillow based on comfort and versatility.
Maybe the pillow you use is too soft or too hard, too puffy, or too flat.
Is ditching the pillow healthy, though?
That depends on yoursleeping position(viaMedical News Today).
It’s a good idea to take it slow and gradually reduce your head support during bedtime,Healthlineadvised.
If you happen to sleep comfortably without a pillow, you may also get some additional benefits.
However, uncomfortable neck and back pain is probably not a suitable trade.
