Benefits of Sleeping With a Pillow Between Your Knees

Benefits of Sleeping With a Pillow Between Your Knees

Did you know that 74% of people are dominantly side sleepers? If you're having trouble getting a restful good night's sleep, the problem could be your posture.

Your sleeping posture is significantly affected by your mattress types, how you position your spine, and distributing pressure points which is where a pillow between the knees comes in. Sleeping with a pillow between your knees can help reduce body aches and keep your spine aligned for a longer, lasting, and restful night. Let's discuss the benefits a pillow between your knees offers.

  • Alleviates Back Pain

A sore back is one of the most common consequences of bad sleeping posture. Because your back does not have to support the weight it's been supporting, you can expect less back pain when you wake up. Continuous strain on the back can cause severe damage to the spine and surrounding muscles leading to chronic pain. The good news is a between-the-knees pillow can start you off on the long road to recovery.

  • Improves Sleep Quality

If you're a side sleeper, the best sleep you'll ever have is with a pillow between your knees. This sleeping setup ensures you don't keep tossing and turning every few minutes because of body aches and discomfort.

  • Reduces Pressure On The Hips

Side sleepers create pressure points on their hips, which can be uncomfortable. You can tell how great the pressure around the hips is by looking at the divot you leave after a few years of using your mattress. To alleviate this pressure, a pillow between the knees distributes the pressure making your nap times much more comfortable.

  • Improves Breathing

Placing a pillow between the knees has been proven to reduce the effects of sleep apnea. People suffering from sleep apnea should avoid sleeping on their backs or stomachs because this can exacerbate the condition. Because sleep apnea is one of the leading causes of fatigue after hours of sleep, using a pillow between the knees is sure to get you feeling well-rested and fresh as a daisy every morning.

  • Helps Relieve Herniated Disc Pain

A herniated disk can cause immense pain making any movement a nightmare, not to mention laying down to sleep. Placing a pillow between your knees can help reduce the pain as you sleep on your side during the healing process.

  • It Keeps You From Rolling Over

Some medical conditions and procedures may leave the patient unable to sleep on the back of the stomach. Using a pillow between the knees can help prevent you from rolling over while you are asleep and hurting yourself or reversing the results of your procedure which can be painful and disappointing for patients.

  • Knee Pillows Are Great for Pregnant Women

A protruding belly does not support sleep for pregnant women, and finding a comfortable spot can be hard. Using a pillow between the knees helps support the belly and relieve pressure on the back, giving the mother-to-be much-needed relief and rest.

  • Promotes blood flow

Using a pillow between the knees allows blood to flow effortlessly, leaving you refreshed and energized after a peaceful night's sleep. Patients healing from different procedures benefit from improved blood flow because it allows faster healing.

How To Choose The Right Pillow For My Knees

Your regular head pillow will not do for your knees because both body parts require different kinds and levels of support. The first thing you should look out for is the shape of the pillow. Most between-the-knee pillows come in a square shape and have contours and grooves to provide a resting place for the knees.

  • Thickness and firmness levels

The next thing you want to pay attention to is how firm and thick the pillow is. Thicker pillows will naturally create more space between the knees which is not desirable. You want a relatively thin pillow with moderate to full firmness for full support all night.

  • Quality

The fabric and filling should be of good quality, so the pillow lasts a long time. When it comes to between-the-knee pillows, you don't want to keep switching between products because your body takes time to adjust and get used to new products. Additionally, high-quality pillows provide consistent support without getting squished and losing support.
