Sleep Quality

Many people suffer from sleep problems. Few know that a better sleeping posture can significantly improve sleep quality. 

Sleep quality research

In collaboration with the magazine gezondNU, a study was conducted among 89 of their readers on the influence of sleeping posture on sleep quality and the development of physical complaints (headache, neck pain, and back pain).

This study compared sleeping with a Hi4 pillow and Body pillow to the usual situation of the participants. They slept with their own pillow, without a body pillow.

The Hi4 pillow ensures that the neck is at the correct height and properly supported. The body pillow ensures the correct sleeping posture, in which both the back and neck are not twisted.

The combination of Hi4 and Body scored better on sleep quality. The subjects rated their own pillow insufficient 48 times and the Body and Hi4 combination only once.

The number of scores above average was nine with their own pillow.
and with the Hi4 and Body combo 40.

The participants woke up less often with the combination of Hi4 and Body than with their own pillow alone.

The participants were better rested after a night’s sleep with the combination of Hi4 and Body than with their own pillow. 


Why does sleep quality improve?

The study shows that the subjects experienced significantly less pain and stiffness in the neck and back when sleeping with a Hi4 and body pillow. 
Also that they turned over less often. This leads to fewer sleep interruptions and then you sleep deeper and better.
