This position is the ideal way to lessen the strain on your pressure points since it allows you to distribute your weight evenly across your body. It also improves the alignment of the spine and internal organs. You only have to remember to place a pillow under your knees when you lay flat on your back, and if you need some more support, roll a small towel underneath the small of your back.
4. On the side with a pillow
If you’re a side sleeper, make sure you alternate between the left and right in order not to create too much pressure on one side, which can ultimately lead to muscle imbalance. If you opt for
this position,
placing a pillow between your legs is crucial to keep your spine, hips, and pelvis in proper alignment.
5. On the back in a reclined position
If catching your ZZZs in a recliner chair is your thing, investing in an adjustable bed will do the trick. You could also add a pillow behind your lower back for support. This
position allows your trunk to stay upright and your airways to be open. Moreover, reclining creates an
angle between your thighs and trunk, helping to reduce the pressure on your spine.
