Which pillow is your style? A pillow should support your head and neck comfortably, so you can get a good night`s sleep. Though we all turn and toss throughout the night, most people have a favourite sleep position – and that`s the one they`re in when they fall asleep. This preferred position determines which pillow firmness will give the best support. Side sleepers – your pillow should support your head and neck so that your spine maintains a straight line. A firm pillow would be best for you. Back sleepers – you need a pillow that will provide support under your head, neck and shoulders. A pillow with medium firmness would probably be your best choice. Stomach sleepers – your pillow should be relatively flat so your head and neck aren`t turned unnaturally to either side. A soft pillow would likely be the best one.

A) don`t have a favourite way of sleeping. B) fall asleep lying on their back.
C) know that this kind is most comfortable. D) can`t fall asleep and toss a lot.
