Will you get neck soreness at first, from a neck pillow?

Arc4life's Natural Alignment Neck Pillow
For some, neck soreness will happen. This happens especially if you have never used a neck pillow. It's going to be a change, so you have to get used to it. Now, also if you have a major misalignment in the neck, the neck pillow may be tougher to get used to. Let's say you have a cervical kyphosis, that a reversal of the normal c-curve.

Also, things depend on the actual pillow. Let's say you have a really hard or firm pillow, this might be too much for a first time neck pillow user. That being said your memory foam pillows tend to be firm so you may want to start out with something softer. On the other end of the spectrum is the feather or down pillow, these are usually too soft, giving not enough support.

That's why I typically recommend a fiber pillow. This is usually not to hard or soft and still gives the support.

The Picture above is an example of a fiber pillow I recommend: the Arc4life Natural Alignment Pillow.

Don't Forget To Choose Pillow size...

Happy New Year From Arc 4 Life- Sorry for the delay in posting. its already started to be a busy 2014- we have multiple things cooking away here at Arc4life. 

Pillow size for the Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow is very important. Frankly its important for any pillow that you buy.   The traction pillow is not like any other pillow. You want to get the size that fits your body, not the bed. So just because you have a king size bed doesn't mean you need a king size pillow. The traction pillow is based on body size.

Most people will fit the regular size or, in other words, medium size pillow. We recommend if someone is 6"1' or over get the large (king size).

"Ok, what if I'm 6 foot and a bit over?" Here's deal: if your fairly close to 6' - 6"1' and maybe you have a long neck go with the large. The opposite holds true if you feel you have a short neck or are very petite. Now, you have the pillow. If you feel like your head is being pushed upward or the pillow seems to be flexing the head forward, the pillow might be too big. If you don't feel like you have enough support, it's most likely too small.

Contact Arc 4 Life Directly if you have questions about Pillow Sizes. They are very used to answering questions about this topic !
