      A pillow is a really important part of your sleep system. It works together with your mattress to keep your spine in proper alignment. Try one of the picks in the description and let us know what you think!

      If you feel fine then it's fine. It's not like we were designed for sleeping on mattresses and pillows, so go with whatever works.

    A lot of surface advice but not actually much practical advice. Like, how is someone supposed to assess if their spine is in alignment when laying down?

      Absolutely useless video. All I learned was how important picking 'the right' pillow is 😒

      You can either record yourself or have somebody stand behind you and let you know if your neck is straight or crooked with the pillow Below it

    How can you measure the LOFT you need to get a good alignment? We your people have NO IDEA and keep returning pillows to find that right fit and miss out on a good nights sleep. and then eat carbs to help ease the day. This cycle needs to STOP!!!!! please help

    5-6 inches of loft?!? Seriously?!? Maybe if you're built like an NFL linebacker and sleep on a rock hard mattress. I get a headache just contemplating that! I wish someone would make a side sleeper pillow for small framed people who sleep on very soft mattresses - like something supportive but with only about 2 inches of loft!
