Orthopedic pillow

Its design conforms to orthopedic guidelines to ensure the right placement and support of one or more specific parts of the body to provide safe and healthy rest to the sleeper.

This position is considered the most suitable because it reduces the incidences of snoring, sleep apnoea and obstructive sleep apnoea; it helps release breathing airways; and it is the most helpful position for pregnant women to reduce the pressure of their wombs.

Unlike side sleeping, this position may favour episodes of snoring and sinusitis, as well as back pain.

For this, an orthopedic pillow with neck contour and a wedge under knees can allow the back sleeper to lie with safety and comfort.

[citation needed] Orthopedic pillows are sometimes used during massages to cushion the face when clients lie facedown.
