According to a national sleep survey, 74% of people sleep on their sides — that’s a lot of people. If you happen to be one of them, then you’re probably intimately acquainted with the snuggle struggle. The comfortable position requires a night-long dance of wiggling, fluffing, and tossing — until that one snoozed-on arm begins to lose circulation and the cycle begins all over again.
In addition, “if your neck is bent in any way for an extended period of time, you’ll get uncomfortable,” explained Matthew O’Rourke, a physical therapist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, in a recent post on Harvard Health’s website. He states that a pillow that’s too soft or too firm often leads to upper-body tension. For the sake of our slumber sanities, we culled together a list of the best pillows that were actually crafted for side sleepers.
