The benefits of a memory foam pillow

Whether you’re a back, side or combination sleeper, memory foam pillows are versatile enough to accommodate you changing positions throughout the night.

Even with a dedicated bedtime routine to help you wind down for the night, you may not be getting a good night’s sleep if you have been using the wrong pillow for your sleeping style. They could be too soft, too firm, too low or high worsening your back pain, allergies or snoring! If this sounds like you, it might be time to get an upgrade — and memory foam pillows offer a great solution to improved sleep quality and overall well-being.

What is a memory foam pillow?

Visco-elastic foam was first developed by NASA in 1966 as a proposed improvement to the aircraft’s seats. Several industries started to realise the potential applications of the material, which found its way into orthopaedic seating pads, mattress pads, and padding for the severely disabled. Now, it is used to make some of the best pillows in the world!

Memory Foam pillows are ideal for maximum support while sleeping. They have a unique ability to contour and curve to fit around the shape of your body, which provides additional support for your neck, shoulders and back. This results in muscle release and relaxation and the disappearance of unpleasant pressure that often disturbs blood circulation. Look forward to a peaceful slumber, as your sleep will remain undisturbed from any change of body pressure when changing positions.

Improved spinal alignment — One of the primary benefits of memory foam pillows is their ability to promote proper neck and spine alignment. They mould to support your head, neck and shoulders, maintaining your body’s natural alignment.
