Memory foam pillows 'do wonders for neck'

Published: 15 January 2009

The benefits of memory foam have been applauded again by an expert highlighting the effects it could have on the back and neck, although many may want to make themselves even more comfy with good quality bedding over it such as Egyptian cotton.

The neck plays an important role in the body and should be treated with respect, according to a wellbeing guru.

Health N Fitness recommended a person invests in a memory foam pillow as it provides an important aid in the alignment of the spine, with the neck needing something comfortable after a day spent holding the average human head up, weighing 5kg.

It continued: "Relaxing into a visco memory foam orthopaedic pillow promotes good posture and can prevent neck pain from occurring by reducing stress, tension and stiffness in the head and neck muscles so that you have a good night sleep."

This week, Rocky Mountain Mattress stated that memory foam pillows were getting a lot more popular, adding that such a simple investment could make a world of difference.
