Square or rectangular pillow, what form should you adopt to get a better night's sleep? We tell you everything here!
The square format pillows are the pillows we find most often in France. We have all been accustomed to this shape of pillow and therefore adapt our bed linen according to our bedding.
Although we have been accustomed to this form of pillow, it is not the most common form in the world. The rectangular pillow largely dominates because in many regions of the world this is what we find.
But then, should we follow our habits by sleeping with a square pillow or rectangular pillow can it be better? We reveal the advantages and disadvantages of these two forms. Afterwards, it will be up to you to make your choice!
The square pillow, a habit for many
Beyond sleeping with one square pillow, the latter is popular for reading or watching TV. Thanks to its shape, it allows you to prop part of your back against a wall, a headboard or a sofa.
However, when it comes to comfort for sleeping, that’s a whole different story! When we sleep on a square pillow, we tend to rest our head but also our shoulders on it.
Unfortunately, this position is really not the best! The position taken during the night with a square-shaped pillow tends to cause back problems. Indeed, sleeping on your side can cause misalignment of the cervical spine with the spine.
These bad positions taken during the night then have repercussions on our sleep. A bad position can then cause nighttime awakenings. Your sleep will be less restful because your night will have been interrupted. On the other hand, if you tend to sleep on your back, a square and soft pillow will give you a good night's sleep.
The rectangular pillow, increasingly popular
If you are used to sleep on your side, the rectangular pillow is made for you.
Unlike the square pillow, here the shoulders barely touch the pillow because the latter only accommodates your head. Thanks to this position, the alignment between the cervical spine and the spine will be perfectly respected.
If the square pillow remains the majority in many households, the rectangular pillow is increasingly popular. Sleepers find it less bulky than a square pillow.
Moreover, health professionals are more likely to recommend the rectangular pillow because it offers a better sleeping position.
