Have you tried to find a new pillow but without enough success?

A custom-built pillow may be the answer!

There are many different types of pillows on the market, including memory-foam contoured pillows, latex pillows, and others. The problem with buying a pillow “off the shelf” is that is doesn’t take into account your preferred sleeping position, your weight, the size of your shouders, length of your neck, or the type of mattress that you are sleeping on.

Pillows Made to Measure is a fantastic company that make customised latex pillows.  These pillows are made just right for you after you have been measured and filled out a questionnaire to address the factors mentioned above. Dr. Sandra Buchanan is the chiropractor at Caulfield Natural Health clinic and she uses the special NCI measurement tool and she can help you on the way to a better night sleep.

You may prefer to order online at their website www.pillowsmtom.com.au but you will need to pay a $45 shipping fee which is waived if you have seen Dr. Sandra Buchanan and have the pillow delivered to the clinic.

These amazing pillows even come with a money back guarantee!

Poor sleeping posture can also contribute to the problem. These sleep tips come from their website.

Sleeping on your side with your top leg bent ‘up’ and twisted over also creates a lot of stress on your lower back joints and neck muscles, leaving you with lower back and neck discomfort in the morning.

Sleeping on your back with your elbows higher than your shoulders will tense your neck and shoulder muscles. This position causes the large muscles in your neck and those between your shoulders to over-contract and fixate, meaning you’ll wake up stiff, sore and unrested.
