Time for a new pillow?
September 5, 2007
This may sound obvious - If your pillow is too tall, it may impact the quality of your sleep.
Less obvious – How tall is too tall? Not very according to a Japanese study discussed in a recent Bloomberg article. Two excerpts from the study:
“Even a pillow that’s 2 centimeters (1 inch) too high can reduce sleep quality by causing shoulder and back strain”
“Those using an ill-fitting pillow were 2.8 times more likely to suffer back pain and 1.5 times more likely to experience tiredness”

I came across your site when searching for sleep disorders. My name is Lauren Cameron and I work for Ogilvy Public Relations. I am currently working on a website for Select Comfort called beds.com and thought it might be of interest to you and your readers. We’re helping to initiate similar discussions about sleep health, sleep disorders & solutions, etc. in addition to providing a platform for discussion about how the Sleep Number beds can help alleviate sleeping difficulties/disorders in adults.
Feel free to check out our site and let me know if you have any questions/concerns. We welcome any additional dialogue should you have the time for discussion.
