Pillows for side sleepers

Side sleepers need the highest and usually also the hardest pillow. This is because the side sleepers have to cover the highest distance between head and mattress. The height of the pillow must therefore correspond to the entire width of the shoulder, taking into account the depth to which the shoulder sinks into the mattress. A soft mattress requires a deeper pillow than a hard mattress.

It is important that the shoulder does not lie on the pillow, otherwise the head will not be supported in the extension of the spine.
