Pillow advice
What role does the pillow play in neck pain?
A restful sleep begins with the right pillow. Sleep specialists emphasize that the pillow plays a crucial role in the health of the cervical spine. The right pillow supports the natural posture of the head and neck, prevents tension, and sustainably improves sleep quality.
Studies show that incorrect pillow positioning can lead to neck and back pain, headaches, or even sleep disorders. Many people therefore wonder how to find the right pillow. The right pillow ensures that muscles and intervertebral discs regenerate during the night, breathing remains unobstructed, and the body can fully relax. It's also important to determine your standard pillow size .
Since every sleeping position has individual requirements – whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach – there is no one-size-fits-all pillow. Anyone wanting to find the right pillow should therefore carefully consider their own sleeping position. With Luxecosy's pillow consultation, you can find the pillow that's perfect for you. The correct bedding size is also crucial.
Below we will show you step by step how to find the right pillow for your sleeping position.

Step 1: Which size is right?
40x80 cm pillow
Ergonomically optimal: Provides precise support for the neck and head, promoting a natural alignment of the cervical spine – especially for side and back sleepers.
Practical & flexible: Easy to position and dimensionally stable, ideal for restless sleep or frequent changes of position.
Pleasant sleeping climate: The more compact surface ensures better air circulation, less heat build-up and a balanced sleeping experience.
50x70 cm pillow
Perfect for mixed sleepers : Ideal for anyone who switches between back and side sleeping positions and is looking for a flexible pillow solution.
Balanced support : A good balance between support strength and contact area – supports the head and neck without feeling too firm or too soft.
Comfortable & cuddly : Slightly more surface area to sink into than a 40×80 cm pillow, without losing ergonomic support.
60x80 cm pillow
Generous lying surface : Offers more space for head and shoulders without compromising ergonomic support for neck and spine.
Ideal for back and relaxed side sleepers : Particularly suitable for those who sleep more peacefully and prefer a larger sleeping surface.
80x80 cm pillow
Ideal for stomach sleepers and cuddlers : Especially suitable for those who prefer a soft, large surface area and like to snuggle into their pillow.
Classic comfort size : The traditional 80×80 cm pillow offers plenty of lying surface and a particularly cozy sleeping experience.
Limited ergonomic support : Less suitable for targeted neck support than smaller formats such as 40×80 cm, but popular for restful sleep and low support pressure.

Which support is right for me?
Our ergonomic pillows are available with 3 different levels of support. This helps relieve pressure on the cervical spine and reduces the likelihood of neck pain.
Super soft
Ideal for those who sleep on their back or stomach and prefer a very soft pillow with maximum down filling. The low level of support allows for a particularly gentle sinking in, relieving pressure on the neck and shoulders with minimal support.
Soft supportive / Medium
Ideal for back and side sleepers seeking a balanced combination of comfort and support. This support helps to keep the head and neck stable and is perfect if you're looking for the right pillow for changing sleeping positions.
Firmly
Ideal for side sleepers who need firm support to compensate for the gap between their shoulder and head. A firm pillow supports the natural alignment of the cervical spine and can reduce tension in the neck area.
Find the right pillow for every sleeping position
1. Pillow for side sleepers – stable neck support
Side sleepers need a pillow with sufficient height and support to compensate for the gap between their shoulder, mattress, and head. Only then will the spine remain in a straight line and the neck be optimally relieved.
Anyone wondering which pillow is suitable for side sleepers should look for compact sizes like 40×80 cm and firm support. This combination helps to find the right pillow and avoid tension in the neck area.
2. Pillows for back sleepers – balanced support
Back sleepers need a pillow that fills the natural gap between their head and the mattress without overextending or under-extending their neck. Medium support provides stability and a relaxed sleeping position.
To find the right pillow, back sleepers are advised to choose models with balanced support and sufficient lying surface – for example in 60×80 cm or 80×80 cm, depending on personal comfort preferences.
3. Pillow for stomach sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a particularly soft and flat pillow to prevent hyperextension of the cervical spine. The less support the pillow provides, the more relaxed the neck remains in this sleeping position.
For those who want to find the right pillow and prefer to sleep on their stomach, large, soft pillows – for example in 80×80 cm – with high adaptability and low support are suitable.
4. Pillows for people who change sleep patterns – flexible and adaptable
Sleepers who frequently switch between their back and side positions during the night and therefore need a particularly adaptable pillow. A balanced combination of support and flexibility is crucial to ensure optimal support for the head and neck in both positions.
To find the right pillow, compact sizes like 40×80 cm are recommended for those who switch between sleeping positions, as they offer sufficient support in both side and back sleeping positions. Alternatively, ergonomic neck pillows can be useful if the focus is more on sleeping on the back.
