Memory Foam

Discomfort in pregnancy, particularly during the latter months, is common.  We want to try and help ease you through those “rougher” months so consider trying the following tips.

1.  Maternity Back Support Belt - A good night’s sleep is so important during pregnancy.  Even though you are in a horizontal position, you may falsely think that the weight is off your back.  Guess again, the weight is still there and using this belt will support your belly, thus relieving your lower back from carrying all the weight.

2.  Low-heeled or athletic shoes - Fashion must move aside for now as pain in your feet can cause pain in your back.  Even while wearing supportive shoes, you may still want to request a foot massage every so often!

3.  Daily Workout - It is okay to do some light exercises, such as walking, with some light stretching each day.

4.  No Heavy Lifting - Remember you are already carrying weight inside of you, so there is no need to carry more!

5.  Plenty of Sleep - Bed rest doesn’t mean you have to be in bed all day long but do give yourself permission to relax.  A back support pillow will be a welcome help .  It can also be placed between the legs while sleeping on your left side to provide support. 

It’s best to follow all these tips as zeroing in on just one will not bring the best results in relieving your back pain.

Finally, it’s 5:00 p.m.!  The end of another work day and bonus, it’s the weekend!  Aah, rest and relaxation, but wait…as you slide your chair away from the desk and get ready to stand up…OUCH!  Your back is hurting, you’ve strained it somehow.  I guess there will be more rest and relaxation than you thought this weekend after all!

Sitting for long periods of time without any support creates muscle tension and can result in pain in the lower portion of our back.  May we suggest a lower back support pillow to help reduce or alleviate your back pain and possibly neck pain.

A natural gap is evident between the lower spine and chair on which one sits and a back support pillow helps to fill in that space.

These back support pillows can also be used for our heads and necks while sleeping as they keep these body parts aligned, relieving pressure and tension points.

Now, doesn’t that sound like an easy way to be able to really enjoy those weekends?

No more aching back!

How many nights of sleep have you lost due to tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable?

How much have you spent on chiropractor bills because of a sore back?

How many days have you lost at work because of back ache?

Would you like to see the pain, stiffness and perhaps spasms go away?

The first place you should consider looking to end this pain is in your bedroom!  We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping and since our backs rest and recover during that time, we need to make sure they indeed are able to rest.

One of the benefits of purchasing a memory foam pillow is that it is specifically designed to align your body, no matter what your favourite position is.  Keeping your spine in line with your head and neck is the key!

Don’t skimp on your pillows, they are one of life’s products that invests in your health.  Just maybe spending more money on your pillows, will allow you to earn more money as you arrive fresh and ready for what the day may bring at your place of employment!

Why is it so many of us are suffering from back ailments of some sort?  Perhaps our fast paced society doesn’t allow us time to rejuvenate, or perhaps the hours sitting behind a computer screen are taking their toll on us or perhaps we are sitting on the couch instead of taking a walk and getting some needed exercise.  A good night’s sleep is a must if we are going to tackle those challenging days.

To help relieve some of that back pain or discomfort caused by improper spinal care, consider investing in memory foam pillows.  These pillows will provide full support and ultimate comfort by conforming to the contours of your neck and head.  You may be reading this and think, “Why not use some of the throw or decorative pillows I have in the house already?”  Unfortunately, they can not provide all the support your body is calling for.

You definitely will receive value for your dollar by ordering a memory foam pillow!  These pillows are great for all ages - so share them around!  It’s never too early to look after your body! 

After you enjoy such a good night’s sleep - you won’t want to leave home without your memory foam pillows in hand!  Why suffer in hotel rooms on those travelling trips?  Grab your very own memory foam pillow!

If your job keeps you “tied” to a desk for most of the eight hours in your working day, I can probably guarantee you come home with a backache and tiredness.  That back pain often results from sitting in positions that are not ideal for the curvatures of your spine.

A lumbar support pillow will evenly spread the muscle weight to the spine area.  In the sitting position, muscles located in the upper back hang which causes other muscles to fall on the waist, this leads to stiffness and lower back pain.

When you consider that a lumbar support pillow can go with you to work, while you travel (whether by car, planes or train), or stay at home in your favourite recliner, what an excellent investment!

What could be an easier solution to soothe that back strain?!

With 80% of pregnant women experiencing back pain, it is important to find solutions to this uncomfortable situation. 

Some of the back pain may be due to poor posture or day-to-day work techniques.  Always be aware of your sitting and standing posture and remember to lift with your knees not your back.  Considering the additional weight that is being carried, there is an extra toll put on the body. 

 Do not be discouraged if after delivering, you find the pain has not completely disappeared.  Remember it takes about 8 weeks after childbirth for the abdominal muscles to effectively stabilize the pelvis and protect the spine.

  Massaging the lower back often will relieve tired, aching muscles.  A lumbar support pillow used under the abdomen and between the knees will also reduce back pain.  Don’t hesitate to exercise during pregnancy, just do it correctly!  It can be as easy as walking or swimming.

Do you need relief from head, neck, knee or back pain?  We have one pillow that can do it all!  By simply placing the Four-In-One Memory Foam Support Pillow in the right position you will find a soothing solution to those aches. 

Made from visco-elastic memory foam, this pillow will provide constant support and comfort while reducing pressure and tension.

How many hours a day do you spend sitting?  Think about it!  Whether it is driving behind the wheel of your car, sitting at the computer at the office or home or both!  It can be easy to forget about ourselves during the workday but a good pillow can make all the difference.

Sitting positions can be some of the worst circumstances for our backs, causing headaches and pains in our necks and upper backs.

All it may take to make a difference is a pillow in the arch of the lower back to create the ideal position for the spine.  Find the right lumbar support pillow for you!

Take comfort in knowing you are not alone if you experience back pain during pregnancy.  Reports verify that  50-70% of all women endure this same discomfort.  Back pain can disrupt your daily routine or interfere with proper sleep at night.  Plenty of rest is important during your pregnancy.  How do I do that if my back aches? you may be asking!  You should try to avoid sleeping on your back.  Instead try sleeping on your left side and use a support pillow under your knees.  Elevating your feet will also help your back.

Trust these few tips will help in those later months of pregnancy!

What an intricately made body we have!  It is amazing how everything is connected and if one  member is hurting, the body compensates for it.

A look at how our spine is designed shows a column of bones consisting of articulated vertebrae separated by inter-vertebral disks.  Holding these spinal bones together are muscles and tendons.  Our spinal column, of course, is what keeps us on our feet.  Good support and posture are important for a healthy spine. 

 Whether we sit, lie down or stand, gravity is exerting a force on our joints, ligaments and muscles.  This force needs to be distributed evenly so our structure is not under stress.

By using a back support pillow in the arch of the lower back, the ideal S-shaped curvature can be achieved preventing headaches and pains in the neck and upper back.  Use these pillows with a chair or while sitting in a car.

A back support pillow is recommended while in a lying position.  Once again these pillows can fill in the spaces under the head and neck.

Be kind and buy a present for your back, after all, who can support you better!
