THE RIGHT BODY ALIGNMENTIf you sleep on your back, a small pillow under the back of
your knees will reduce stress on your spine and support the
natural curve in your lower back. The pillow for your head
should support your head, the natural curve of your neck,
and your shoulders.
Sleeping on your stomach can create stress on the back
because the spine can be put out of position. Placing a flat
pillow under the stomach and pelvis area can help to keep
the spine in better alignment. If you sleep on your stomach,
a pillow for your head should be flat, or sleep without a
pillow.
If you sleep on your side, a firm pillow between your knees
will prevent your upper leg from pulling your spine out of
alignment and reduce stress on your hips and lower back.
Pull your knees up slightly toward your chest. The pillow for
your head should keep your spine straight. A rolled towel or
small pillow under your waist may also help support your
spine.
Insert pillows into gaps between your body and the
mattress.
When turning in bed, remember not to twist or bend at the
waist but to move your entire body as 1 unit. Keep your
belly pulled in and tightened, and bend your knees toward
the chest when you roll .
Keep your ears, shoulders, and hips aligned when turning as
well as when sleeping.

mattresses in Dubai by Celeste.
Regardless of your sleeping
position, try to keep your ears,
shoulders, and hips aligned.
