How to choose your pillow according to your sleeping position: personalized guide

Your sleeping position largely determines the type of ergonomic pillow you need. Each position puts different pressures on your spine and requires specific support to maintain optimal alignment throughout the night.

For side sleepers: choose firmness

If you sleep on your side, you need a thicker, firmer cervical memory foam pillow to fill the space between your shoulder and head. A model around 13cm high, like the ZenPur, generally provides ideal support. The high-density memory foam keeps your head aligned with your spine, reducing pressure points on the shoulder and preventing morning neck pain.

For back sleepers: the perfect balance

Back sleepers benefit from a medium-firm pillow that supports the natural curve of the neck without overly elevating the head. A bamboo pillow with memory foam adapts perfectly to this position, molding to the contours of your neck while keeping your head in a neutral position. The thermo-regulating bamboo cover also prevents heat buildup, which is common in this position.

For stomach sleepers: discretion above all

Sleeping on your stomach requires a very flat pillow, or no pillow at all, to avoid neck hyperextension. If you cannot do without a pillow, choose a soft, thin model. However, health professionals recommend gradually changing this sleeping habit, which can cause long-term neck tension.

For those who change position

If you alternate between multiple sleeping positions throughout the night, a versatile medium-firm pillow is the best option. Memory foam technology dynamically adapts to your movements, providing the right support regardless of your sleeping position. The 2-3 night break-in period allows the pillow to "learn" your sleeping habits for optimal comfort.
