Orthopedic Pillows
The right pillow can make a BIG difference.
Engineering pillows to help people get a good night's sleep is at the heart of Core Products' mission. Instead of chasing trends (a memory foam pillow may not be right for everyone), we tailor each pillow design to fit one or more of the three stages of care identified in our TriCare Circle of Health and are recommended by health care professionals who treat neck pain and recommend pillows to help remedy it.
Every one of Core's wide range of pillows is made from quality fiber and/or foam – the AquaCore you fill with water to your comfort level. Many are offered in a range of firmness, sizes and prices. And each is clearly labeled to help you and your health care professional decide which is best for you.

Orthopedic Pillows Are Designed for Proper Neck Support and Alignment
Many Americans will suffer some kind of neck and back pain during their lives. The neck is vulnerable. Containing the jugular vein, throat, spinal cord and carotid artery, it lacks protection compare to other parts of the body, like the torso. Injuries can take place anywhere, on bikes, in cars, on top of ladders or stairs. But did you know that it could also occur while you sleep? Poor sleeping habits can plague the soft neck tissue, orthopedics say. Proper precautions to protect the neck go a long way. And many health professionals will recommend orthopedic pillows, designed with orthopedic guidelines in mind for proper alignment during sleep. Sizes and firmness vary; choosing which the right orthopedic pillow will depend on personal preferences and preferred sleeping position.
Many people prefer to sleep on their backs and sides. If this is the case, then consider a pillow such as the CervAlign, which is designed to improve neck support for back sleeping as well as maximize comfort during side sleeping. A curved design allows room for shoulders while an indented center helps to support the neck while sleeping on the side.
Often people will pile on additional pillows for extra support. A bad idea. In general, most health experts recommend using one pillow. They reason that during the night, pillows will shift, resulting in uneven support. Even worst, additional pillows may cause a neck strain. These days, there are multiple pillows to meet every need. So instead of buying a second pillow, consider one like the Core Basic Water Pillow. Adaptable to changing needs, it allows people to achieve desired firmness at any given moment. An enclosed therapeutic water chamber offers the flexibility of filling the pillow with additional water. Add more water for additional firmness; release water for softer support.
