What Type of Pillow is Best for Back Sleepers?
Ultimately the best pillow for you will be determined by your individual preferences, however the best pillow for back sleepers is one that’s neither too soft nor too firm — just enough to cradle your neck and keep your spine naturally aligned.
What Makes a Back Sleeper Pillow Different from a Regular Pillow?
Back sleeper pillows are designed to be a lower profile to maintain the natural curve of your spine, and are typically flatter than regular pillows, reducing strain on the neck. Their shape and support level are crafted to prevent the head from tilting too far forward, which can disrupt breathing and cause neck pain.
Some may also feature a cervical alignment zone to securely cradle your neck, like our BackRest PIllow, allowing the muscles to relax for pressure-free, peaceful sleep.
What Firmness of Pillow is Best for Back Sleepers?
A medium-firm to firm back sleeping pillow is recommended if you prefer sleeping on your back. It provides enough lift to support the head while keeping the neck in a natural curve — a key factor in achieving a comfortable sleeping position.
