Never, ever sleep on your stomach. Sleeping on the stomach increases the pressure and stress placed on the joints and tissues of your lower back and neck and you’ll end up with stiffness, pain and discomfort.

Sleep on your side:

Knees bent slightly with one pillow between your knees. Pull your pillow down into the shoulder to support your neck.  Make sure you have one thick or two thin pillows that fill the gap between the bed and your neck while keeping you neck straight.

Too many or too few pillows will mean your neck is bent causing compression of the joints on one side and over stretching on the opposite side.

Sleep on your back:

Place two pillows under the knees to reduce stress to the low back, neck and mid back. Again too many or two few pillows under your head will place your neck in an awkward position, you must keep it as straight as possible
