Which pillow for cervical osteoarthritis?

Cervical osteoarthritis affects many people and can significantly disrupt sleep quality. Neck pain, morning stiffness, and muscle tension are all symptoms that require a suitable pillow to provide optimal support during the night. Choosing the right ergonomic pillow can make all the difference between painful nights and restful sleep.

Why choose a specialized pillow for cervical osteoarthritis?

Cervical osteoarthritis causes cartilage degeneration in the cervical vertebrae, creating inflammation and pain. A quality ergonomic cervical pillow helps maintain the spine's natural alignment and reduce pressure points on weakened joints.

The essential characteristics of a pillow for cervical osteoarthritis

Adapted support and firmness

• Optimal cervical support : The pillow must perfectly fit the natural curvature of the neck to avoid tension
• Balanced firmness : Neither too soft (lack of support), nor too hard (excessive pressure points)
• Nighttime stability : Support must remain constant even during sleep movements

Recommended materials

• Memory foam pillow : Adapts perfectly to the body shape and returns to its original shape
• Premium Memory Foam : Provides long-lasting, personalized support
• Breathable materials : Prevent the accumulation of heat and humidity

Dimensions and height

• Suitable height : Generally between 10 and 15 cm depending on body shape
• Sufficient width : 40x60 cm or 50x70 cm format for freedom of movement
• Progressive thickness : Allows for smooth adaptation

Complementary solutions for optimal sleep

An anti-snoring pillow can also be beneficial, as a better cervical position promotes freer breathing. For those who prefer natural materials, a silk pillow can offer interesting thermoregulatory properties, although support remains the priority for cervical osteoarthritis.
