Good sleep hygiene is a vital part of any healthy lifestyle. But many of us struggle to get an uninterrupted stretch of sleep at night – through no fault of our own. The Sleep Buddy pillow and other pillows aim to change this.
The Sleep Buddy is a buddy pillow, which has been designed with sleep health in mind. Unlike regular pillows, this buddy pillow is shaped sort of like a comma, with a curved neck and a longer extension on one side.
It has been designed in this way to allow for the most comfortable, natural sleep possible, by gently supporting your body in all the ways that it needs to be supported.
Too often, we make do with pillows that are too flat or overstuffed. A too-flat pillow forces the head into an unnaturally low position, which can cause neck and spine issues, as your muscles and joints are forced to compensate for any posture issues. An over-stuffed pillow can cause similar issues – raising your head to an unnaturally high position and compressing your neck and spine muscles.
How many times have you woken up in the morning with a stiff neck? This is a tell-tale sign that you need a new pillow. The Sleep Buddy is different from other pillows by design. Its unique shape and size can contribute to a better quality of sleep, without the stiffness and neck pain that can sometimes come with other pillows.
When you sleep on a buddy pillow, your neck and head are supported in a natural way that allows your body to completely relax. Your new sleeping posture will help to open up your airways, making breathing easier, and even helping to stop snoring.
Snoring happens when you’re the air cannot move freely through your airways while you are asleep – and it is worse when you are lying flat on your back. But when your head and neck are properly supported and in the correct sleeping position, your breathing will become easier and more natural – just as it is during the day.
The Sleep Buddy pillow also helps to ensure that your ears have proper ventilation. The pillow comes with a slight depression where your ear should go – this eliminates the discomfort of a hot ear, which can cause your face to overheat and disrupt your sleeping pattern.
Breathability is really at the core of the Sleep Buddy pillow. Its cover is made from natural, hypoallergenic cotton, which is kind to skin and easy to clean and maintain. The filling is made from polyester, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin and allergy-prone sleepers. It also means that the entire pillow is washable, so you can ensure that it stays fresh and clean, week in and week out.
Overall the Sleep Buddy is a great option for light sleepers, snorers, and anyone who wants to improve their sleep hygiene. Ready to use straight out of the box, the buddy pillow is a quick and easy solution to a myriad of sleep-related problems.
