A neck pillow is a specialized cushion designed to support the head and cervical spine, promoting proper alignment during sleep, rest, or travel.

Core Design

Neck pillows typically feature ergonomic shapes like U-shaped (for travel) or contoured forms (for home use), cradling the neck’s natural curve to reduce strain on muscles and vertebrae. They distribute head weight evenly, preventing forward tilt or side slump.

Common Materials

Most are made from memory foam for adaptive firmness, inflatable options for portability, or microbead fills for moldability. Breathable covers, often cotton or removable fabrics, enhance airflow and hygiene.

Key Benefits

These pillows alleviate neck pain, fatigue, and stiffness, improving sleep quality for back/side sleepers and travelers. They suit office use, flights, or recovery from issues like cervical spondylosis.
