Only around 18 per cent of all people are back sleepers. They usually wake up the same way they fell asleep, as they rarely change their position. This means that you adopt the healthiest sleeping position for most of the night, which has a positive effect on your spine. However, back sleepers tend to snore more in their sleeping position.
The right pillow for back sleepers
If you are lying on your back, your pillow should not be too hard or too thick, otherwise your cervical spine will suffer. If you have lower back pain in this position, it is best to place a second pillow under your knees.
A pillow that supports your head in an orthopaedically correct position when lying on your back is particularly recommended as a back sleeper pillow. The pillow can also be soft. This is because back sleepers should not sleep with their head quite as high as side sleepers.
The billerbeck neck support pillows are best suited for this. The core consists mainly of multi-layer elements, which makes the neck support pillows individually height-adjustable. This means that it is even possible to remove the inserts. This means that the height of the pillow can be adjusted exactly to your comfort level.

The right mattress for back sleepers
A mattress that is too hard does not allow the body to sink in properly, which leads to a kink in the spine. A mattress that is too soft allows the spine to sag, which also leads to a bent posture. Mattresses with a variable firmness level and a not too firm, point-elastic surface are recommended for back sleepers. The body is perfectly supported in the lumbar vertebrae zone, the pelvis does not sag and the spine is relaxed, which provides optimum relief.

The right slatted frame for back sleepers
For back sleepers, it is very important that the slatted frame used can provide support for the buttocks. For this purpose, the slatted frame should consist of curved spring slats and have a centre zone reinforcement. This prevents the back from sagging and thus prevents back pain.
