hi just wondering if anyone has cervical spondolosis in the neck can anyone tell me what is the best pillow’s for night time I have spend several pounds on them and still not comfy

if only one fits all . It really is trial and error. My back bedroom is like a pillow shop ! I have to swap and change constantly. Maybe as a chiropractor or a physiotherapist can advise Good luck

I've tried so many pillows! This is the only one I'm comfortable on now. Not everyones cup of tea as it's quite firm but stops my neck aches and helps my head keep cool. My sister introduced me to it. It's pricey but worth it for me.

IKEA pillow

The 'Which' magazine tested support pillows fairly recently. I bought the cheapest one they recommended and it's been much better than any others!

thanks for replying I will look 👀 into it

I buy a soft soft pillow and I roll it into shape under my neck to suit the size and shape I want. It's very supportive and my neck hasn't turned into a spasming nightmare in a very long time. I also use a second pillow up against the headboard to push me up a bit so my shoulder is supported. Depends if you sleep on your side or not. I do. I find sleeping in my back hurts my neck more.

I love my Tempur Cloud pillow

I love my PURPLE pillow. Has done wonders for my neck and spine. Good luck with your pillow quest!

One to avoid, is the John Lewis firm Russian feather and down. Cost a fortune, hard to get into pillow case as bulky and isn’t even that comfy. I prefer M&S normal ones but use two. The are a bit flat hence two but looks good as well. Trouble then is I don’t buy sets of linen because I buy a cover and 8/10 pillow cases as they get worn out before covers.

Thankyou for the info I will look into them

I sleep on a wave pillow and it's been good for me ,I was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis years ago and until I found this type of pillow I was always uncomfortable ,I now sleep well. There are many different types of these , Hope this helps

Wave pillow

[Tobymax35 in reply to Chrissycl]

are they soft only I’ve tried 2 sorts it triggers me neck of

[ABwn in reply to Chrissycl]

I found the wave pillow a few years ago. I find putting a normal pillow on top of it the comfiest.

[Chrissycl]

They do vary in size and softness I tried a few before finding one I was comfortable with my latest one is from JYSK and for me it very comfortable. It comes with 2 thin flat inserts that you can put under it for different hights I prefer the memory foam ones that sort of mold to your shape.

[Tobymax35 in reply to Chrissycl]

Thanku for the info I’ve just bought one from jysk t day it’s got 2 inserts,, hopefully it does the job ,,👍👍

[Chrissycl]

glad I could help, hope it's comfortable for you

I found that pushing the pillow well under your neck helps, whatever pillow I use. Don’t let your neck get strained . I have neck excercise to do every day & no longer have so much problem, just turning neck one way & the other whilst keeping in line with back, slowly & carefully. Best wishes x
