A consultant reveals the importance of putting a “pillow” for the head and another for the legs when sleeping • Al Marsad Journal

Al-Marsad newspaper: Spine consultant Fawaz Al-Mutairi said there should be a “pillow” for the head and another “pillow” for the legs when sleeping.

Al-Mutairi said during an interview with him on the “Ya Hala” program: “If there is no head pillow and foot pillow, then your sleep is wrong.”

She emphasized, “If you’re on your side, put the pillow between your knees, and if you’re a back sleeper, put the pillow under your knees. Any other position is wrong.”

He explained, “There was a study where disc and muscle pressure was measured in various positions. If you sleep on your side with your knees flat on top of each other, your spine will be tilted.”

And he continued: “When you put the pillow between your knees, your thighs and legs become parallel to each other and your back is straight.”

And she added, “If you sleep on your back, the pillow should be under your knees and your knees should be bent into the pillow.”

She continued, “You can buy a pregnancy pillow that sits on the letter C, so it rests on the pillow and the bottom part is on the inside between your knees, and then it helps you get used to the position.”
