One of the most common questions we get is: “What’s the best pillow for my neck?” The truth is, there’s no single pillow that works for everyone. The right choice depends on your body, sleep habits, and needs.
Here’s what studies and surveys show:
Contoured orthopedic cervical pillows (like Core, Pillowise, or Therapeutica) are often the most recommended, especially if you deal with postural strain, recurring neck joint pain, or disc issues that cause arm pain.
Memory foam pillows are the second most recommended, particularly if you have pressure sensitivity or poor sleep quality, since they’re designed for comfort.
Pillow height matters. Using tools like the Pillowise App can help you find the right fit for your body.
Don’t forget—pillows should be replaced every 1–2 years, especially if they’ve lost their shape, feel lumpy, or leave you waking up sore.
