| Waking up with neck pain? These pillows might help | When was the last time you changed your pillows? Has it been years? It turns out, we should be getting new ones every 1 to 2 years. | That's because the weight of our bodies — not to mention the tossing and turning at night — wears down the material. Eventually, these once-supportive pillows become deflated and lumpy, which can lead to discomfort in your upper body. | BTW: The positions that you sleep in are also important to consider. Ideally, you want your pillows to complement how you sleep in addition to what generally feels nice against your body. | If you think your pillow might be the reason for your neck pain, or it's just time to upgrade from your old one, you're in the right place! Below, we've listed some of the best options to help you sleep tight and score some relief. | Sleep well. | — Healthline Newsletter Team | | | |
