The Secret to Getting a Good Night’s Sleep

Unlike standard pillows, which are typically the same dimensions throughout, the Tri- Core pillow features a trapezoid-shaped center and raised side sections. The unique center of the pillow is designed to cradle the head and provide the maximum support for the neck, whether the user is sleeping on his back or side. “The design also helps relieve spasms and alleviates minor tension since it re-establishes the natural cervical curve of the neck while the person is at rest,” explains Dr. Schmidt.

Numerous studies have shown a proper sleep posture can provide relief from, and help prevent the following problems: tension headaches, neck muscle and joint sprains and strains, ligament sprains, whiplash injuries, arthritis and tingling and numbness in the arms and hands.

Mell says once he started using the Tri-Core pillow, all his back pain went away. “Even better than that, it seems to have cured my sleep apnea as well.”

Mell still uses the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine that his respiratory doctors have prescribed for him to keep his airway open, but now with the addition a using the Tri-Core pillow which adds to keeping his airway open through proper spinal alignment, Mell states “I can’t tell you how good it feels to get a good night’s sleep. I’ve never felt better in my life.”

“You spend about a third of your life in bed so I tell my patients to make sure their slumber is comfortable,” says Dr. Schmidt.

The Tri-Core Fiber Support pillow also comes in Mid-Core and Petite-Core sizes for smaller adults, teens and children. They are available in many participating doctor’s offices throughout the country, or you can purchase one direct from the manufacturer at www.CoreProducts.com in the orthopedic pillow section.
