Why Buy a Good Pillow

What are pillows?

 pil·low
noun: a bag filled with soft material that is used as a cushion usually for the head of a person who is lying down.

Full Definition of PILLOW

1a: a support for the head of a reclining person; especially :  one consisting of a cloth bag filled with feathers, down, sponge rubber, or plastic fiber

b: something resembling a pillow especially in form 

2: a cushion or pad tightly stuffed and used as a support for the design and tools in making lace with a bobbin.

Well, that is a really simple explanation.

This blog is about sleep pillows and not decorative pillows.

Pillows really are more than a bag filled with fiber. They hold the key to good rest, and keeping the body aligned.

Pillows do make a difference. Pay a few dollars for a cheap pillow and you get exactly that...cheap.

Do your research, buy a good pillow and you get a good investment in years of a restful nights sleep and more.

The wrong pillow may worsen headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm numbness, discomfort, sneezing, and wheezing.

• If you sleep on your back: Back sleepers need thinner pillows, so their head is not thrown too far forward. Also look for a pillow with extra loft in the bottom third of the pillow to cradle your neck.
• If you sleep on your side: Side sleepers need a firmer pillow to fill in the distance between the ear and outside shoulder.
• If you're a stomach sleeper: Look for a very thin, almost flat pillow. You may not even need a pillow for your head, but consider tucking one under your stomach to avoid lower back pain.

Main Benefits of Pillows
Use of a pillow while sleeping has two main functions:

• Support: From a physical perspective, pillows prop up the head, neck and shoulders - keeping them in alignment, relieving pressure and counterbalancing the points in the body.
• Comfort: From a more subjective perspective, pillows create a feeling of comfort, which aids in getting a good night’s sleep and feeling well rested.

A Pillow should be adjustable
To help the pillow conform to various sleep positions, it is best if the pillow can be adjusted to fit the unique shape and curves and sleeping position of the user. A pillow should mold to one’s individual shape and alleviate any pressure points.

A ChiroFlow Pillow is one pillow that meets all of the needs. It's adjustable, comfortable, supportive and has top reviews.

Do you ever say or think:

WHY AM I IN PAIN?

WHAT IS CAUSING THIS?

I LIVE WITH PAIN EVERYDAY.

PAIN IS JUST A SIGN OF GETTING OLDER.

I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN.

If the answer is Yes....We understand

Being uncomfortable everyday is miserable. 

Are you ready to figure out where your pain is starting?

Surprisingly enough, your feet are often the starting point of your pain.

Your feet don't have to hurt for them to be the cause of your pain somewhere else in your body.

That Pain in your:

 Neck

Back

Hips

or

 Knees

can be from having an unbalanced foundation.

Your feet are your foundation for your entire body.

If your feet are out of balance, the rest of your body is compensating, and suffering because of it.
