Are you waking up with a headache or a sore neck? Having trouble falling asleep because you can't find a comfortable place on your pillow? Purchasing a memory foam pillow may be the most comfortable solution to your sleeping problems. Memory foam pillows are filled with a type of foam that molds to your head and neck. A premium memory foam pillow provides support with a slight push-back feel when you lie on it.
Distribute head pressure evenly - By evenly distributing pressure applied to the head and face over the entire surface area, your muscles are able to relax more and tension does not build up in a single isolated area. This is especially helpful for people who are prone to jaw pain and teeth grinding; it can even relieve headaches.
Neck Support - By allowing your neck to achieve and maintain a more natural alignment, the muscles in your neck don't have to be active all the time. This relaxing time will release all tension in the neck and prevent stiffness, numbness, muscle inflammation, knots, and many other ailments.
Relaxed Shoulders - People always say that most of the tension in the body is in the shoulders, and it couldn't be more true. By allowing the muscles in your head and neck to fully relax throughout sleep, your shoulders are also relaxed since they don't have to continue to support them. This will make your shoulders feel lighter and more relaxed while reducing soreness and the likelihood of locked shoulders.
Reduces snoring and sleep apnea – one of the original selling points of memory foam pillows, due to the way the pillow supports your head and neck, your airway is not restricted; this can reduce the frequency and/or volume. This also makes memory foam an ideal pillow choice for those with sleep apnea.
Inexpensive - To reiterate the above point, memory foam pillows are very affordable and will only get cheaper. Granted, they can be more expensive than other pillows made with feathers or cotton, but don't forget that these don't provide the same support and can exacerbate, if not actually cause neck and back discomfort.
