The benefits of using a Knee pillow

Sleeping with a knee Pillow is becoming more Common. But Just what are the benefits?

Pain can make it difficult to relax and get comfortable at night. This often translates to less overall rest and a poorer quality sleep, which can further exacerbate your pain. If you are suffering from lower back or hip pain morning after morning, a pillow between your knees is probably the best solution. But why are knee pillows so effective and how much better are they than sleeping with a conventional pillow between your legs? 

When to use a Knee Pillow?

The Slumbar Knee Pillow is ideal for side sleepers. It gives a welcoming soothing comfort for the hips, lower back and knees all night long. 

Here’s the thing. If you’re a side sleeper, your top leg tends to slip and roll forward. This puts a lot of pressure on your hips and causes your pelvis to rotate. Consequently, your lower back and spine fall out of the correct alignment. Sciatic and sacrum pain becomes aggravated, and the stress sustained by your ligaments and discs goes up. This results in that typical morning pain and stiffness we have all become accustomed to. 

The Slumbar Pillow comfortably fits between your legs – cushioning your knees and hips. It prevents your top leg from dropping forward so that your hip and pelvis remain aligned. Your muscles will relax and you’ll hopefully wake up feeling fresh and positive for the day ahead. The benefits of sleeping with a knee pillow are becoming more widely known. As a matter of fact, the US Government’s National Institute of Health and the American Chiropractic Association both recommend that people suffering from back pain sleep with a pillow between their legs for relief.

Here are Some of the Benefits at a Glance:

• Relieves Stress and pressure on your body by keeping everything in the correct alignment.
• Alleviates Back, Knee, Hip, Joint and Sciatic Pain.
• Aids with Pregnancy Discomfort. 
• Helps with the recovery from Surgery.
• Promotes Blood Circulation and a healthier heart.
• Improves Concentration.
• Reduction in Stress Levels.
• Improves outlook and mental wellbeing.

Is a Knee pillow only for people suffering with pain?

Absoluetly not! In-fact anyone can benefit from sleeping with a knee pillow, regardless of whether they are currently suffering from pain or not. Misalignment of your body doesn’t always manifest itself in pain. Brain fog, a negative mood, tiredness, a lack of motivation, poor concentration levels are just some of the signs of misalignment. Many people are also using a knee pillow as a preventative measure, to ensure there body is kept in the optimal alignment and to prevent aches and pains from manifesting in the future.

Proper alignment as you sleep helps your discs restore and recover adequately for daytime activities. For the people experiencing aches and tenderness in the hips and knees, the Slumbar Knee Pillow also provides comfort. As for how to use the pillow; it is quick and easy. You just slip your knees between the depressed sides of the pillow. 

What makes the Slumbar Pillow different from all the other knee pillows out there?

Good question! The Slumbar Pillow combines only the very best British made memory foam with the latest research and technology to make sure it gives you the right level of support it all the right places. The result is a knee pillow which ensures your spine, pelvis and legs are all in the correct alignment, relieving the pressure on your body and allowing you to get a great pain free night sleep.
