Rest and sleep are one of the most essential needs of the body. One goes through postural, physical and mental stress daily due to body movements and work pressure. So, it is very important that we sleep in a proper position. During rest, the muscles and ligaments of the body heal the wear and tear caused by various activities. There are three curves in our spinal column we need to pay attention to, they are the lower back, middle of the back and the one close to the neck. The aim is to maintain these natural curves while sleeping. The moment we curl up in bed, we adopt a preferred sleeping posture every day without much thought. However, it is necessary to realize that our sleeping positions and postures usually become the sole reason for our aches and pains in various parts of our body. Misalignment while sleeping causes stress and strain on the spine, neck, legs, knees, shoulder, and other areas, which can affect our routine the next day. Hence, knee pillows are recommended to raise certain body parts and help bring about a proper alignment. It can be used to ease pain in the back, hip, and knee areas. This is accomplished by placing the pillow between the knees or beneath them, thereby separating the legs and relieving them from undue stress. ▸ Sleeping with a pillow between knees adds comfort and helps eliminate pressure and muscle tension in your lower back and hips by preventing your upper leg from pulling your spine. ▸ Placing a pillow between your knees helps support the lower body by positioning your legs, hips, knee and spine in the right anatomical alignment. ▸ It helps reduce problems in people who suffer from lower back pain, muscle cramps, varicose veins and sciatica. ▸ Knee pillows elevate your lower body to keep a straight side sleeping position. ▸ Knee pillows reduce stress in the knees by evening out the pressure on the legs and keeping the legs wider apart. ▸ They prevent your hips from rotating and your body from angling over as you sleep. ▸ Knee pillows improve blood circulation to the legs, thereby preventing muscle tension, sore knees, and achy legs. ▸ Sleeping with knee pillows is ideal for pregnant women as it helps promote a better and restful sleep by giving a proper sleeping posture.
