Mattress Toppers for Relief

Mattress toppers aren’t just to protect your mattress or make it softer. Some are designed to improve your circulation while you sleep, or help with conditions like congestion and heartburn. These are called Geo Incline Mattress Toppers. You can set them up so that either your legs or your upper body is elevated at a slight incline. This technology is used in many hospitals to help patients with certain conditions. If you suffer from poor circulation, congestion, acid reflux, headaches, heartburn, or snoring, consider investing in this mattress topper for relief.

Ergonomic Pillows

So just what are these advertised “ergonomic pillows” good for, anyway? The ergonomic pillow is specially designed so that a person can sleep (or sit!) in a way that minimizes tension on the muscles used to sustain a position for any long period of time. The biggest tell that you’re looking at an ergonomic pillow is by its shape. They often look different, and are made out of a kind of material that retains its form as you rest on it. Some examples of these are bed pillows, lower back pillows, neck pillows and full body pillows.
Pillows in general are designed so that the angle of your spine is in a “neutral” state, meaning what you would look like standing straight up without slouching. It’s because this is the most comfortable position for your body to retain that pillows have existed in some form or another for many years. What happens is that your body works a little harder to maintain a posture it’s not comfortable in without a pillow and causes you stiffness, tension and general discomfort. Pillows are good at helping correct this, ergonomic pillows are meant to take that a step further. You can find ergonomic pillows in many stores and in many different styles, we recommend trying one out!
