Obviously, there is no such thing as a one size fits all pillow, and body size, shape, weight, height, and personal preferences are all details to consider when reviewing any pillow prior to purchase.
What is your sleep position?
Obviously, your sleep position is highly influential to a contour memory foam pillow. Most, but not all contour choices are focused on the back or side sleepers, with very few available to a stomach sleeping profile. Since orthopedic pillow shapes are specific to body types and needs, be sure to look over company recommendations carefully.
Do you sleep warm?
Solid foam has a tendency to retain heat, and if you sleep warm, this could present a problem. Luckily there are many pillows that include specific technologies to address cooling properties and airflow. If you do struggle with heat, be sure to look for reviews pertaining to the temperature of the pillow.
Do you wake with aches and pains?
If you are on the hunt for a pillow due to discomfort, then you may already be aware of what isn’t working for you. Be sure to consider pillows that have different qualities than what you already have. Also be aware it can take about 30 days to truly adjust to, and get used to the feel of a new pillow.
Do you snore or suffer from migraines or headaches?
Snoring, headaches and migraines can all be caused by poor cervical support and the resulting discomfort and poor blood flow. Cervical pillows are made specifically to address poor posture, and these are probably well worth considering to help alleviate these symptoms.
Conclusion
Each of the above pillows provides differing sleep comforts and support to your sleep. If you suffer from comfort issues related to head, back, or neck pain, than any of the above, may have the ability to provide some much-needed relief. Although we have personally tried out and recommended almost all that have been reviewed, each has its own qualities that lend itself to uninterrupted sleep. Your own body type, preferences, and sleep position will better help you determine which pillow may work best for you, but our personal favorite was the contour memory foam pillow as it can be used for all sleep positions and shaped for better support.
