41% of us sleep on our side – and it’s the preferred position for most women. Sleep expert Bill Lauretti says side sleepers really need the right pillow. It turns out that sleeping on our side can cause our top shoulder to sag forward – which can result in bad posture and rounded shoulders. He says a boomerang-shaped pillow is the best choice. It supports the head and neck and helps keep the torso and shoulders in line.
A lot of side sleepers also have their bottom leg straight – and the top leg drawn up. This position is no good – it twists your lower body and can trigger back pain. Try putting a pillow between your knees to keep the legs parallel.
