6 Common Mistakes to Place the Pillow That Affect Your Posture and Sleep Quality 😴

Did you know that the position of your pillow is just as important as the position you sleep in? At York Rehab Clinic, we want you to get the best possible rest every night, so we’ve put together a list of 6 common pillow mistakes to avoid

1️⃣ Pillow under the shoulders

Placing your pillow under your shoulders can cause it to flatten and not properly support your neck and head.

2️⃣ Neck out of pillow

On the other hand, if your pillow doesn’t support your neck, you risk waking up with a stiff neck or other discomforts.

3️⃣ Pillow on the headboard

Placing your pillow vertically on the headboard can cause muscle tension and cervical pain.

4️⃣ Arm under the head or under the pillow

Though it might feel cozy, placing your arm under your head or pillow twists your shoulders and can lead to misalignment of your spine.

5️⃣ Pillow along the body

Hugging your pillow might feel good, but if it’s not properly supporting your neck and head, it’s not doing its job.

6️⃣ Double pillows

Folding your pillow in half or using two pillows can lead to widespread malaise due to improper alignment of your neck and spine.
