Nackenkissen

A good neck pillow keeps the head and neck in a neutral position throughout the night, reducing strain on the cervical spine and easing morning stiffness. The right level of support depends on your usual sleep position and how firm or soft you prefer your pillow to feel.

Rather than propping the neck with standard pillows, a properly shaped neck pillow holds a consistent contour, helping to keep the shoulders, neck and head aligned. This can make a noticeable difference for those waking with tension or discomfort in the neck and upper back.

Neck Pillows for Different Sleep Positions

Side sleepers usually benefit from a higher-loft pillow that fills the gap between the ear and shoulder, while back sleepers tend to need a medium loft that supports the neck's natural curve without tipping the head forward. Front sleepers are generally best suited to a low-profile design that avoids twisting the neck to one side.

Different shapes work better for different needs, so it's worth considering how you sleep most nights before choosing a style.

Materials and Support Types

Our neck pillows are available in memory foam, latex, wool and buckwheat fillings, each offering a different balance of contouring and support. Firmer fillings tend to hold their shape for longer, while softer options offer a gentler, more cushioned feel.

Removable, washable covers are included as standard, making it easier to keep your pillow fresh with everyday use.
