Pillow Talk - Choosing the right pillow

Pillow Selection 

Sometimes, it's the simple things that help keep our bodies performing efficiently and help prevent strains and injuries.

Last month, with the Summer heat bringing on warmer nights and making getting a good night's sleep a challenge at times, our LifeMark Richmond Oval blog featured a video on techniques for helping you sleep better.

This week, we've uploaded tips for selecting the right pillow.

Something as simple as choosing the right pillow can make all the difference in the world to the quality of sleep you get and can even help rid your body of back and neck pain.

If you wake up tired in the morning, with a stiff or sore neck or back, maybe give consideration to some of the tips in our 'pillow talk' white paper.
