If you happen to enjoy sleeping in both side and back sleeping positions, your pillow would have to change support surfaces... as you turn in your sleep ie. back-to-side and side-to-back. The pillow shape and support would need to switch and adjust as you sleep in order to perfectly accommodate the 2 totally different support requirements needed for the back and side sleeping positions.
For this position, if the pillow is too high or too low, causing spinal twisting and nerve pinching.
Notice here how the neck is kinked and twisted (lateral flexion malposition). The head and spine is stressed as nerves are pinched and irritated.
For this position, if the pillow is too high it might cause "Forward Head Posture" and never pressure.
Memory foam in general does the opposite of what a true spinal support pillow should do. It lacks a firm, definite and ideal model to encourage corrective posture and spinal alignment. The head and spine simply "sink" into its substance as in quicksand.
The HeadRight® works because its unique patented design solves an issue that most chiropractic pillows and orthopedic pillows do not. It provides ideal spinal suppot ... in ALL sleeping positions!
Helps correct, reverse and PREVENT Forward Head Posture (FHP).
Helps maintain a level, mid-line-spine support and alignment.

The HeadRight® provides the perfect model to encourage and restore the proper spinal curvature, while preventing and helping to correct Forward Head Posture and its damaging effects.
The HeadRight® keeps the HEAD and SPINE level, within the midline of your body. Maintaining this alignment is essential to avoid the ‘kinking’ and lateral flexion malposition injuries that can develop from the use of pillows that are too high, too low, or fail to properly support.
The HeadRight’ encourages ideal spinal alignment, helps correct, and totally PREVENTS Forward Head Posture (‘FHP’) …as you sleep!
The HeadRight® pivots within the natural arcs between the spine, head and shoulders and can provide everyone the ideal spinal re-modeling influence to improve spinal alignment, reduce neuro-spinal stress and relieve pain.
The HeadRight® provides ideal orthopedic support for all sleeping positions.
Your individual degree of FHP can be used to determine the time needed for you to 'get used to' it's corrective effects. Accordingly, individuals with normal alignment using 'The HeadRight™ (for preventative purposes) will be very comfortable from the start. Others with mild to severe FHP may require a brief 'adjustment' period before completely enjoying what just might be the best night's sleep that you've ever had
Insert 'The HeadRight®' in a pillow case (queen size is best) and place 'The HeadRight®' with the "roll" flat on the bed and the "ears up" as seen in the image.
Start sleeping your way to improved spinal health... beginning slowly with the gradual 'adjustment' time that may be appropriate for your specific degree of FHP. Take care of your nighttime related pains with The HeadRight® orthopedic pillow. It works where other chiropractic pillows don't. The HeadRight® makes a great neck pillow or back pillow and is the solution to your sleeping problems!
Sleeping on the stomach, also known as sleeping in the "prone position", is not recommended. However, with its unique concentric design, "The HeadRight" can provide proper head and spinal support if positioned properly. While lying in the prone position, the forehead should be placed directly in the area where the back sleeping support (the roll) connects with the side sleeping support panels, with the head slightly turned toward the side support. These connection points, on both right and left side, create a natural curved contour upon which the forehead may rest. This position would still support the correction and prevention of Forward Head Posture and the loss of spinal curve.
