The perfect antidote to a sore neck

Take a tip from the guidebook of savvy sleep doctors who understand the importance of a healthy sleep and get a new pillow. One made from memory foam.

North Americans are no strangers to neck pain – it’s where most of us store our stress. While a supportive mattress is good, a memory foam pillow that ergonomically molds to the shape of your neck and shoulders significantly reduces sleep-related pain and discomfort.

NASA developed memory foam to help reduce an astronaut’s discomfort during lift-off and re-entry. Because of its cushioning properties, hospitals and critical care facilities began using it, and it moved like a brushfire from there to consumer products.

Most memory foam is a petrochemical based product, but Natura has tweaked the recipe and added soy to the mix. You can read more about soy as a rapidly renewable resource at ExperienceBioH.com.

Memory foam comfort

How many times have you woken up in the middle of the night to scrunch or punch your pillow back into shape? Memory foam responds to temperature changes, so your pillow actually adapts to you throughout the night – rather than the other way around.

Pressure from your head or neck on a memory foam pillow forces air from one cell to another, which changes the shape of the pillow. We all lie on pillows differently, and memory foam’s ability to mimic your unique shape makes it a supportive, comfortable pillow choice.

NaturaWorld.com has a variety of memory foam pillows to choose from, but my two favourites are the Luscious and the Perfect – very appropriately named, by the way.

Luscious Pillow

One touch of this pillow instantly reveals how it got its name. For starters, the Natura Pedic core combines all the celebrated benefits of memory foam with a soy-based foam so it’s as good for you as it is for the environment.

As you sleep, the marshmallowy softness self-adjusts and cradles your neck and shoulders for tension-free sleep. What’s more, it resumes its original shape each morning so a plush, soft pillow is waiting for you at night.

• Luxurious, comfortable Natura Pedic™ memory foam core

• Ergonomically supportive for neck and shoulders

• Soft, plush, removable and washable cover
