How to get your neck pain under control
We’ve all been there. The neck hurts after getting up, the neck is immobile and stiff and the tension causes annoyance and discomfort throughout the day. While some people only suffer from a sore neck from time to time, there are others for whom neck pain has persisted for months and has become chronic. In these cases, a doctor should definitely be consulted.
But don’t worry: as a rule, a sore neck is annoying but harmless. And with our following tips and tricks, your neck will always stay loose and supple. So that neck pain doesn’t stand a chance.
What can you do for neck pain?
Relaxation is the be-all and end-all. Tense muscles in the neck and shoulder area are actually the cause of pain and stiffness in the neck and neck region. Incorrect posture or physical overload can also lead to tension, as can mental strain and stress. To prevent neck pain from occurring, it is important to take short breaks from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the high demands of work. Even minor sporting activities such as relaxation and stretching exercises, breathing exercises or meditation can provide relief. Your muscles will relax and unwind and tension will be released.
The right pillow helps against neck pain
You can also offer your neck and neck region additional and regular relief while you sleep. Our billerbeck neck support pillows have been specially developed to support the weight of the head while lying down and to relieve the spine and the muscles in the neck and shoulder area. With the right neck support pillow, your nights can become a blessing again and you can start the new day relaxed and refreshed. Without any pain or tension.
The right neck support pillow against neck pain for everyone
If you have neck pain, the right choice of neck support pillow depends on several factors: Your physique, your sleeping habits and your mattress. Side sleepers need different neck support pillows than back sleepers or stomach sleepers. Active sleepers who move a lot at night need a different neck support pillow than those who – to exaggerate – wake up in the morning in the position in which they fell asleep in the evening.
There are suitable neck support pillows for all sleep types, body shapes, sleeping requirements and mattress types. You can even use a neck support pillow on a waterbed. If you travel a lot, you can relax and rest comfortably with a neck support pillow when travelling by plane, train or car and relieve the strain on your neck muscles.
It’s the inner values of a neck support pillow that matter
Neck support pillows are usually made of latex or foam. If you value naturalness and sustainability in your bedding, a Cradle to Cradle® certified neck support pillow made from Vita Talalay® natural latex could be just right for you. Neck support pillows made of memory foam, a viscoelastic high-tech foam that adapts perfectly to the neck region through body heat and pressure, are well known.
However, regardless of whether the core is made of natural latex, soft latex, memory foam or cold foam, neck support pillows should always be customised in height and shape to suit your individual needs for optimum relief and relaxed sleep.
Let us, your sleep experts, advise you on this.
