Why a special and firm pillow for side sleepers is essential
Side sleeping is the most common position, but it comes with a challenge. In this position, the space between your head and the mattress - the width of your shoulder - is larger than for back or stomach sleepers. A standard pillow does not fill this space, causing your head to nod down towards the bed. This causes tension on the cervical vertebrae and pressure on the shoulders. To prevent this, a special pillow for side sleepers is essential. Such a pillow is characterized by sufficient height and firmness, so that the head is supported in a straight line with the spine. This allows the muscles and nerves to recover and recharge overnight.
Cloudpillo Plus: designed for the active side sleeper
Because everyone has a unique shoulder width, firm side sleeper pillows often don't work well enough. At Cloudpillo we make every model customizable with shredded memory foam. By adding or removing padding, you adjust the thickness to the width of your shoulders. For support we recommend the Cloudpillo Plus. This model is designed to provide an optimal pillow for side sleepers. It has an ergonomic shoulder recess on the long side, which makes room for the joint. This means that you can use the padding under the neck without putting pressure on your shoulder.
Experience the comfort yourself with a 100-night trial at home
The search for the ideal firmness is personal. Your muscles must be given the opportunity to get used to the volume and the right support. That is why we offer 100-night trial on your new pillow. Discover at home and on your own mattress which filling works best for your side position. Feel the pressure reduce and wake up fit every morning. Doesn't it seem to be the best pillow for you? Then you return it free of charge.
Frequently asked questions about our pillows
What requirements should a good pillow for side sleepers meet?
It should be high and sturdy enough to fill the space from the shoulder to the head. This keeps the spine and neck neatly in one straight line, which prevents neck complaints.
Which Cloudpillo is most suitable for me when I sleep on my side?
All Cloudpillos are adaptable and suitable, but the Cloudpillo Plus is specifically designed for side sleepers because of the shoulder recess.
How do I know if I have too much or too little filling in my pillow?
If you lie on the pillow and you feel your chin tilting down, you need more padding. Is your head nodding up? Then get something out of it.
Does memory foam really work well for side-lying?
Yes. Memory foam provides support and does not collapse, so that the distance between your shoulder and head remains consistently correctly supported.
