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.

The best cotton blanket we have ever had

We have been using an acrylic blanket, which was fine when we got into bed. But a few hours later, I’d wake up overheated, I knew the cure for this would be a cotton blanket. We only wanted to buy made in America.. I picked exactly what I wanted from authenticity 50 and it was shipped to me in a few days. When I opened it to wash it per the instructions there were no foul smells. I believe this is really seed to stitch made in America. I believe this blanket is worth every penny. And I would buy it again, but I don’t think I’ll have to because it’s such great quality. We sleep very comfortably now with a perfect weighted blanket that keeps us warm but lets the excess heat out so we don’t get sweaty in bed. I would recommend this to my friends and I would buy it as a wedding gift.TY authenticity 50.

Amazing quality made with American materials!!!

I was a little hesitant to spend so much on a blanket, only having blankets from chain retail stores that cost a fraction of this throughout my life, but once I got it in my hands I instantly noticed how well-made it is with no imperfections! I've only had it for a short while, but I'm sure this blanket will hold up for many years of use given the attention to detail in its production and use of materials all sourced right here in the USA. It is about a medium-weight blanket that will be fine on its own in the summer or as an additional cover on top of me in the winter. I ordered a full/queen size in Coastal Blue and it's the perfect size for my queen bed. I love how soft yet durable it feels already and the herringbone pattern is really cool too, it doesn't look weird or cheap and adds a nice touch to the overall design.
There are other companies that offer higher-priced bedding, but most of those items are not made in the USA and if you're in this price bracket anyways by looking at the competition, you might as well spend the money on American products made with American-sourced materials and keep American manufacturing alive with companies like Authenticity50. You can tell the employees at A50 put love and passion into their work!
