Cervical Pillows Provide Superior Neck Pain Relief Over Standard and Memory Foam Options
Contoured cervical pillows are the best for neck pain, as they significantly improve cervical spine alignment and reduce pain intensity more effectively than standard or memory foam pillows.
- Contoured designs that align the head and neck, reducing pain intensity during sleep.
- Improved posture with cervical pillows prevents worsening of cervical spine curvature.
