The best way to improve ergonomics is to choose the right pillow and mattress. 

• Wrong pillow size and/or form can cause or aggravate neck and shoulder problems. An unsuitable pillow can lead to disturbed sleep with increased tossing and turning.
  
  
• In addition, an old, worn out mattress can aggravate back problems and will spoil the quality of your sleep. One third of your life is spent sleeping, so it is important to invest in a mattress which offers the correct support and comfort.

The mattress and pillow should support your body in its natural position, allowing it to rest and recover from the day’s activities. This means that the pillow and mattress should adapt to the spine’s natural contours in order to help the muscles relax.

If you have musculoskeletal disorders that require medical treatment, we suggest that you talk with your physician or therapist about the types of sleeping ergonomics that would support your treatment and about pillows and mattresses suitable for you.
