A member asked:
What is a good type of orthopedic pillow i can use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: There is no one solution for all. Some neck (cervical) pillows are designed for side sleepers. Others are for those who sleep face up; there may be some for tummy sleepers. Most of us move in our sleep, so you have to make a choice. You also have to choose material, firmness, etc. Some like to wear a soft cervical collar (foam brace with velcro strap) since it will move as you move. Experiment.
