I Designed an Ergonomic Neck Pillow Because I Was Done Waking Up Like a Pretzel

Here’s a core memory: Me, waking up, head tilted like I slept in the backseat of an Uber XL, neck screaming. And the worst part? I’d paid for that pillow. It had “cloud” in the name. Spoiler alert: clouds shouldn’t hurt.

That was my sign to get serious. I didn’t need cute. I needed ergonomic. Something built with intention. Something that didn’t just look cozy on Instagram—but actually held my neck like it had a degree in chiropractic science.

So, I made it. And I haven’t looked back.

How Ergonomic Changed Everything

This isn’t about over-engineering. It’s about understanding the human curve—how your head, neck, and shoulders move when you’re fully at rest.

My ergonomic neck pillow has:

• Shoulder drop zones: Subtle dips that let your shoulders fall into position without lifting your spine.

• Cervical ridge: A gentle rise under your neck to hold alignment all night. No slipping, no slouching.

• Mid-core firmness: The center holds your head without sagging. Think supportive, not stiff.

“I Didn’t Know This Was Possible” Moment

Two weeks in, I was sleeping deeper. No middle-of-the-night toss-and-turns. I was waking up with fewer morning headaches. I literally started looking forward to going to bed—and not just for the skincare routine.
