Best Type Of Pillow for Sleeping with Neck Pain, Pinched Nerve, or Herniated Disc

[@tanyap_traveldiaries]

You guys are amazing. I had this very painful life because of my neck stiffness, I had to eat painkillers but nothing worked physiotherapy sessions helped me but just for a day or two. I started using the right pillows to sleep and now i wake up with no stiffness and living a painfree life. Thank you so much guys you truly are the best. 😇

[@seekerdelaluz1365]

This is such a great video. I get terrible backpain, jawpain, neck pain, all from sleeping incorrectly. I've tried rolled up towels, soft pillows, large pillows, small pillows even baby pillows. I have an amazing matress but the pillow I just can't settle on, so the headaches are a common and almost daily issue. I get physio and chiropractic work for my back since I've had a serious accident in the past. It's such a traumatic thing to want to sleep and just not be able to due to pain. I love all your videos in fact!

[@LaGnomaLisa]

I feel exactly the same. It’s terrible being tired and not being able to sleep

[@FourJaysFour]

Thanks for the suggestion of putting a pillow under my arm. Total game changer!!! I use kapok fill & just adjust as needed for firmness.

[@SydneyRadio2UE]

At 7:20 is the memory foam pillow, but for people like me with severe Tinnitus, it's acts like a sound suppressor, which means all that one can hear in the ear against the pillow is a loud ringing noise. Tinnitus sufferers need to be able to hear sound in both ears while in bed, but without the masking effects of an external sound device, the ringing at night gets louder, which has a negative impact on sleep.

[@zealouszebras-thelangdonbu1189]

I use a winter work boot tube sock, fill with uncooked rice, tie end? slip another sock on the other end and tie. I put it in the microwave 2.5 minutes and it’s PERFECT! I call it my rice sock lol and it hold heat so well.

[@iwillstom]

It's tough if you toss and turn all night like I do. I doubt I ever stay in one position for more than half an hour, so pillows are always flying. The last time I got a good night's sleep, Vioxx was still on the market. 😉

[@1stNightingale]

If you're sleeping in the best way for you you won't rotate throughout the night.

[@iwillstom]

[@odarrien]

What’s your recommendation for a ‘pressure’ buildup in the head when lying down? I am constantly shifting, avoiding pressing my neck etc, because I feel like pressure is building in my head. Also, lying on just one pillow feels too low and also cause the feeling of pressure.

[@davidjohncox7333]

Hi, I start sleeping on my back, but invariably I will sleep on both sides during the night. I don’t think you guys mentioned what type pillow to use in this instant. I also have OSA, and a pinched cervical vertebrae.

What if you sleep in diffrent positions in a night. Are you suppose to adjust the pillow placement while sleeping?

Hello Brad and Bob. Love your videos. I have a question I don’t know if you can help me answer regarding lower extremity contracture? My father is in a nursing home and has had 2 cva. Currently is immobile and seems like his legs are getting more and more contracted. The nurses always puts pillow under his legs and raise the lower bed up which seems to me is keeping him in the position to be contracted. What do you think I should do?? I always remove the pillows and lower the foot area on the hospital bed.
