Pillow advice
What is the importance of a pillow for neck pain?
Restful sleep begins with the right pillow. Sleep specialists emphasize that the pillow plays a crucial role in the health of the cervical spine. A perfectly tailored pillow supports the natural posture of the head and neck, prevents tension, and sustainably improves sleep quality.
Studies show that incorrect pillow posture can lead to neck and back pain, headaches, or even sleep disturbances. The right pillow, on the other hand, ensures that muscles and intervertebral discs regenerate at night, breathing remains free, and the body can fully relax.
Since every sleeping position has unique requirements—whether you're a back sleeper, side sleeper, or stomach sleeper—there's no one-size-fits-all pillow. With Luxecosy's pillow guide, you'll find the pillow that's perfect for you.
Step 1: Which size is right?
40x80 cm pillow
Ergonomically optimal: Provides precise support for the neck and head, especially for side and back sleepers.
Practical & flexible: Easy to position, ideal for restless sleepers.
Pleasant climate: More compact surface – better air circulation, less heat build-up.
50x70 cm pillow
Perfect for: Mixed sleepers who alternate between back and side sleeping.
Balanced: Good balance between support and contact surface.
Comfortable: Slightly more space to sink into than 40x80 cm.
60x80 cm pillow
Generous: More space for head and shoulders without sacrificing ergonomics.
Perfect for: Back sleepers and relaxed side sleepers who like more lying space.
80x80 cm pillow
Perfect for: stomach sleepers and cuddle sleepers who prefer soft, generous support.
Classic: Traditional size with plenty of lying space.
Less ergonomic: Less ideal for neck support than 40x80 cm, but popular with cuddle sleepers.

The right pillow for every sleeping position
1. Pillow for side sleepers
Side sleepers should choose a voluminous pillow to balance the distance between the mattress and head and keep the spine in a straight position, thus avoiding back pain. Luxecosy recommends 40x80 cm pillows , which provide the right amount of support.
2. Pillow for back sleepers
Back sleepers require a flatter pillow that optimally fills the space between the head and the mattress without placing the neck and head in an unnatural position. It should be neither too firm nor too soft to ensure adequate support. Pillows in 80x80 cm are particularly suitable for this sleeping position, while the material and firmness should be tailored to individual preferences.
3. Pillow for stomach sleepers
If your preferred sleeping position is on your stomach, and you tend to place an arm under the pillow or even hug it, a softer, flatter 80x80 cm pillow is recommended. Down pillows are particularly soft and conformable, which is especially beneficial when sleeping on your stomach.
4. Pillow for alternating sleepers
For people who alternate between sleeping on their back and side, an adaptable pillow is essential. A narrow pillow measuring 40 x 80 cm is ideal, as it offers optimal support and flexibility when sleeping on their back or side. Alternatively, a neck pillow, which specifically supports the neck and is suitable for various positions, can be beneficial.
