Lower Back Pain? Your Pillow Might Be the Missing Piece

We talk a lot about neck pain when it comes to pillows—but if you’re waking up with a tight, sore lower back, your pillow setup might be low-key sabotaging your sleep.

No, we’re not saying your mattress is off the hook… but your pillow height, firmness, and position play a bigger role than you think.

How Pillows Affect Your Lower Back (Yes, Really)

🌀 Poor neck support throws off your spinal alignment — and your back pays the price
🛏️ Too-high or too-flat pillows distort your natural curves
🧱 Lack of support causes your muscles to compensate all night long

What to Try Instead:

1. A Supportive Cervical Pillow

👉 Try this one

• Medium height = neutral neck position

• Contoured sides = tailored alignment whether you sleep on your back or side

• Stable foam = consistent support all night

2. A Thin Pillow Under Your Knees or Hips

Especially helpful for back sleepers and side sleepers with tight hips. Use a flat pillow like the Hungarian Bread Pillow to reduce lower spine strain.

Bonus Tip: Stomach Sleepers, Go Even Flatter

A thin pillow under your stomach (yes, stomach) helps reduce arching and eases lumbar tension.

Back pain while sleeping isn’t just about your mattress.
With the right pillow combo, you can wake up feeling less chiropractor, more champion.

👉 Shop the Cervical and Bread Pillows — relief starts at the top.
