Dr Snooze Places Emphasis on Proper Pillows and Pressure Relief

(prHWY.com) October 12, 2012 - Ocala, FL -- Florida, USA(October, 2012) :- When we have back pain, we often go to the chiropractor, pop a couple of pain relievers, or look to replace our old saggy mattress. But have you ever considered that it's your pillow that's doing the damage? Many sleep and support experts say that upper back and neck pain can come from your pillow, not your bed. Your neck needs alignment also, yet most of us are sleeping on $6 fiber pillows from the local mega mart or Grandma's old feather pillow from 1920. Either way, we are probably not getting the support that we need, or with so many different options on the market, there's no reason not to get proper support.

Memory foam and latex are the most highly recommended. They come in shaped versions (the pillow with the raised neck roll), as well as more traditional shapes. There are softer versions, firmer versions, and different heights...every combination that you may need to be comfortable. If you're concerned about heat, think about a product that has a gel layer, or is infused with gel. Go to a store that has knowledgeable salespeople, and tell them how you usually sleep. Side sleepers need a different pillow than back sleepers. Try them out in the store, and then give them a good 30 day try at home. Your body might take a while, but will adjust to this new, correct support.
Even if you don't have neck pain, you might want to look into these new exotic foam pillows. Did you know that your pillow doubles in weight every five years due to dust mite excrement and carcasses? Many people are allergic to these mites, and may get congested at night breathing them in on their pillow. Also, consider that your head sweats, which is absorbed by the pillow, not to mention those of us who drool. If you sleep on a down pillow, do you actually realize what you're sleeping on? Bird feathers. From a dead bird. Any way that you look at it, your pillow is actually pretty gross.

Sure, you may pay a little more for a better pillow, but consider that it will last five years or more. You won't have to keep replacing the lumpy, dust mite ridden pillow every 6 months. Also, with the correct support, you won't have neck cramps and back aches, saving not only your sanity, but your pain medication bills.

Join the movement for better sleep, better support, and better health. Go find a new, quality pillow for yourself to go with your great mattress, and feel what head to toe support really means.
