This is a hot topic in the clinic at the moment and I’ve been discussing these types of knee pillows with lots of people lately! The hourglass shape of this knee cushion is specifically beneficial for side sleepers.
Many people report experiencing pain during the night or first thing in the morning and so ensuring you’re in an ideal, supported position while you sleep is super important.
The contoured design of these knee pillows keeps your legs, hip and spine in ideal alignment while you sleep and can also prevent you rolling over to sleep in the less desirable tummy sleeping position.
Couch cushions, rolled up towels and extra bed pillows can do the job as a temporary measure, however, if you’re a side sleeper, investing in one of these pillows means it’ll be less likely to slip out during the night and end up on the floor by morning!
Sleeping on your back in a neutral position is the most ideal for many people’s bodies. However, the next best position would be on your side – provided you are well supported with one of these cushions. You can pick one up online or in any good bedding and manchester store.
For tummy sleepers, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it’s the least ideal position for your spine. But we can chat next time you’re in and come up with some ideas to work around it.
If you need any help with getting into a comfortable, pain free position at night, just ask next time you’re in!
