Studying the right equipment for sleeping helps not only to enjoy a restful sleep but also to prevent tension in the spine and neck. Andrea Ellis, an expert in health and sports from the German organization "Healthy Spine," emphasizes the importance of the physiological thermal impact of bedding. Ideally, bedding should contain special fibers that can release excess body heat and regulate temperature.
For those who prefer sleeping on their back, it is recommended to use a flat pillow for the head. Ellis notes that the mattress should not be too firm, as this may increase pressure on the shoulders and lower back and subsequently lead to muscular tension and pain. For those who sleep on their side, using a high pillow is recommended to compensate for the space between the head and the mattress.
"It is important to choose the right equipment for sleep to ensure not only a quality rest but also to avoid tension in the spine and neck," says Andrea Ellis. People who prefer sleeping on their back need to use a flat pillow for the head to ensure that the cervical vertebrae are in a normal position.
