Pillow Loft (Height) Guide by Sleeping Position

Side Sleeper
High Loft (5" โ€“ 7")

Fills the deep gap between ear and outer shoulder to keep cervical spine parallel to the mattress.

Back Sleeper
Medium Loft (4" โ€“ 5")

Supports the natural C-curve of the neck without angling the chin too close to the chest.

Stomach Sleeper
Low Loft (2" โ€“ 3" or No Pillow)

Prevents unnatural backward hyperextension of the neck; flatter is better for spinal health.
