Not All Pillows Are Head Pillows — Here’s What Makes One Actually Work

Let’s clear something up: just because a pillow goes under your head doesn’t mean it’s a true head pillow.

If you’re waking up with tension, headaches, or that classic “slept weird” feeling — your pillow may be missing the mark on alignment, not just fluff.

So… What Is a Head Pillow Supposed to Do?

The goal isn’t just comfort — it’s structure. A real head pillow should:

🧠 Support your skull without tilting it forward or sideways
🌀 Keep your cervical spine aligned with the rest of your body
😴 Reduce pressure points (especially if you toss and turn)
💨 Stay cool and breathable all night

Bonus: A properly designed head pillow also helps improve sleep quality, not just prevent pain.

Signs Yours Isn’t Cutting It

🚩 You fold or punch your pillow into shape every night
🚩 You wake up with tight jaw/neck tension
🚩 You rotate pillows like skincare routines
🚩 You bought it for aesthetic, not alignment (we’ve all been there)

What We Recommend

Ditch the overstuffed fluff. Look for a pillow with:

✔ Ergonomic contouring
✔ Medium-firm memory foam
✔ Neck + head zoning
✔ A washable, breathable cover

Hint: The DonaHöna Cervical Pillow checks every box.

Your head deserves more than a pretty pillowcase.
Upgrade to a head pillow that supports sleep, posture, and peace of mind.
