Do you prefer sleeping in the stomach or back sleeping positions? Do you suffer from neck pain or stiff neck? If so, you may want to get yourself some flat pillows that help maintain your neck in a neutral position.

Different sleeping positions require different types of pillows. Side sleepers benefit the most from thick pillows that cover the distance between the mattress and your face. Back sleepers may use thin pillows or medium-loft pillows depending on their personal preference. And stomach sleepers should ideally not use pillows at all — but if you can’t sleep without pillows, then you should opt for a slim pillow.

The most important factor to consider when purchasing a pillow is whether it helps you maintain spinal alignment because most issues related to neck pain and stiff neck occur because of incorrect sleeping positions or an incorrect choice of pillow.
