Starting your day with neck pain makes for a tough start. One of the big causes of neck pain is using a pillow that doesn't support your neck properly.

Do you have chronic neck pain or wake up with occasional kinks from "sleeping funny"? If so, I invite you to replace your pillow with a better choice that will be easier on your neck, help you sleep better and wake up happier. 

My newest favorite for back sleeping has become the travel pillow - used in a different way. Most people wear them around the back of their neck with the opening at the front.  I switched it around so that it is in a "U" shape beneath my head instead. It's perfect for supporting your neck and cradling your head when lying on your back, and much better support sleeping on a plane! This one is a memory foam so it's got good support and give to let your head and neck settle in. Try it and let me know how it works for you.
