What is the best pillow for neck and back pain?

If you're 1 of the 100 million Americans that suffers from neck and back pain, choosing the right pillow is crucial for a good night's sleep and a pain-free day when you wake up. Traditional feather or scrap-filled pillows just don't cut it anymore - if you still have one you'll want to keep reading. So that leads to the question: What pillow is best for neck and back pain? Studies have shown that memory foam pillows like our Custom Comfort Pillow are the very best choice when it comes to alleviating and even preventing neck and back pain. Memory foam pillows are the best choice due to their ability to conform to the shape of your neck and the relief they provide on your pressure points.

Memory foam offers superior support

Memory foam pillows offer superior support when compared to traditional pillows. A recent study published in the journal, Applied Ergonomics, compared memory foam pillows to feather pillows and found that the memory foam pillows provided significantly better support for the neck and shoulders. The study also found that participants reported reduced pain in their upper back and shoulders, suggesting that memory foam pillows can benefit the entire upper body.

Authenticity50's popular Custom Comfort Pillow offers the most customized pillow ever, seriously. These incredible pillows have a side zipper gusset that allows you to remove or even add more fill to your pillow so that you get the exact amount of loft your body needs. Never has a pillow been so customizable and adjustable for each sleeper. And guess what - if you do need more fill, we'll send more at no additional cost. Just shoot us an email!

Memory foam relieves pressure points and aligns your spine

Authenticity50's Custom Comfort Pillow is filled with a CertiPUR-US certified shredded memory foam and microfiber that keeps you cool. This proprietary blend helps keep your spine aligned while you're sleeping. According to another study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, the height and firmness of a pillow are essential in reducing neck pain. Memory foam pillows maintain the natural curvature of the spine, reducing pressure points and keeping the head and neck in alignment with the rest of the body. Memory foam pillows also help relieve pressure points, this was even more evident when compared to traditional feather-based pillows. This reduction in pressure points helps relieve pain and discomfort in those areas, leading to a more restful sleep.

Wonderful blanket

I’ve waited a little while for this king blanket in the color I wanted to be back in stock but it was worth the wait.

Great Blanket

Received my blanket in just a few days. First thing I did when I opened the package was smell the blanket. NO ODOR!! It actuall had no odor but it smelled clean! Then I washed and dried it according to the directions. If it shrunk, its absolutely unnoticable. We have a queen size bed, but being cautious I ordered a king to be sure it would still be big enough for our bed after it was washed. This blanket is all they said it would be. Very heavy but not hot. Love, love it! Well worth every penny. Don't be afraid to order.

Great Blanket!

We love our new blanket! It is the perfect weight and is generous in size. It stays tucked in which keeps the bed looking neat and it's easy to make in the morning. I bought this blanket to support companies who make their products in the USA and I expect to receive a much better product...I was not disappointed. Thank you!

Beautiful but too much lint

The blanket is pretty but the lint has been unbearable. I’ve tried washing and drying. It may just be my blanket but I’m putting it away or giving it to charity.
