Spinal alignment during sleep depends on how well the mattress and pillow support the body’s natural curves. When muscles relax, proper support ensures even weight distribution and reduces strain on the spine, allowing the body to recover efficiently overnight.

The height and density of a pillow influence pressure on the neck and cranial region. Proper elevation maintains neutral alignment and reduces strain on nerves and muscles, helping to minimise stiffness and tension upon waking.
