To counteract strong tension in the neck area, organic neck pillows, neck rolls and neck cushions can support the correct sitting and lying position. These orthopedic pillows are to be adjusted to the preferred sleeping position.

Abdominal sleepers need a pillow that adapts flexibly to the frequently changing position.
