FAQ
1. What is “Sleep&Heal”?
“Sleep&Heal” is the only self-adjustable pillow allowing a sleeping person to keep his/her spine properly aligned when lying on the back or on the side.
Regular pillows provide head and neck support while not interfering with a proper spinal alignment only in prone position at best. When person is lying on the side his shoulder moves forward – under the weight of his body - pushing any pillow away or getting on top of it, which results in the tilt of the cervical region of the spine. When head falls onto the shoulder neck is bent down. In a similar position but with a shoulder on top of the pillow the head is tilted upwards. When sleeping face down – as many people do - the pillow inevitably gets in the way resulting in the head tilted up position.
The design offered solves this problem as well. The pillow simply gets out of the way allowing no obstacle under the head. Such position during sleep though not desirable is still better than having a pillow under one’s chin.
This pillow design may prevent osteochondrosis in children, heals neck soreness and neck and shoulder tiredness. It is also a therapeutic aid in the above-mentioned cases.
Due to this specific shape of the pillow the wider range of possible positions is achieved in which the optimal physiological positions of the spine are preserved, the tension of the neck and shoulder muscles is decreased, the pressure on shoulder joint and upper chest area is decreased and the blood flow into and from the cranium is not disturbed.
All this features are not presented in other pillows.
2. Why this design is better than others?

3. What is it made of?
Pillow is made out of elastic and flexible synthetic material, which is non-allergenic anti-bacterial polyurethane foam.
4. How important is the material the pillow is made of?
The main function of a pillow is to provide a proper head and neck support during sleep. By proper support a properly aligned spine must be understood. Therefore material that promotes that quality is the right one. Different materials might be promoting other features, which though might be desirable (hypo allergenic, extra soft, slow memory recovery etc.) are not of critical value.
5. How does it work?
Protruding front portion of the pillow bends down under the weight of the head and neck providing neck and head support and flexes up when person turns in bed. When person is laying on the side the front portion of the pillow gets in between his head and the shoulder relieving pressure of the head onto the shoulder and supporting the head. (See drawings).
6. Will sleeping on this pillow help me to get rid of neck soreness?
This pillow design is recommended for prevention and symptomatic treatment of the osteochondrosis of the cervical region of the spine. This pillow is of the great value to all those working in a sitting position and/or in the same position for a long time. Such people often develop neck and shoulder muscle spasms, which only get worse by sleeping without proper head and neck support.
7. What is osteochondrosis?
Osteochondrosis, sometimes called osteochondritis, is a condition of defective bone formation in the epiphysis or growing part of the skeleton. No one knows the exact cause, although it is probably due to circulation disturbance to that part of the bone. Sleep and Heal pillow provides the most natural position during sleep and prevents circulation disturbance. That is why it is good for children, especially for teenagers.
