Sleep Position: Evidence-Based Guides

This desk covers seven questions about how you sleep: whether one pillow or two is better for your neck, what spinal alignment each position demands, which pillow suits back, side, stomach and combination sleepers, how long a new pillow takes to feel right, and what the evidence says about sleep position in pregnancy. Where no clinical trial exists, we say so plainly.
