Choose a firm & wide pillow with a lot of height or a gusset, which is an insert that adds extra height above the seam. It provides natural support that keeps the neck & spine in a straight line.

Go for a medium to medium-firm pillow with a little height. It cradles the head, neck & shoulders so the head doesn’t tilt too far back.

Select a soft & thin pillow to cushion the neck’s natural curve. It aligns the neck & head to keep the neck from tilting too far up or too far down. The softness also feels good against the face.
