What is an orthopedic pillow and how does it help with neck pain?

This alignment relieves neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and shoulder tension, allowing you to wake up refreshed and pain-free.

  • Side sleepers: the raised edge fills the gap between your neck and shoulder.

  • Stomach sleepers: while not ideal for neck health, these pillows still offer a flatter area to reduce strain.

They adapt to your shape, making them versatile for different positions.

Most people feel relief within the first night or two. However, your neck and spine may need 3–7 days to fully adjust to the new posture and support. This is completely normal — once adapted, the long-term comfort is worth the brief adjustment period.

  • Air it out regularly

  • Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat

The outer cover can usually be machine-washed safely.
