Hi Dr. Gill here, I just want to address
2 questions that I get from patients with neck pain. #1. What pillow should I sleep on? and #2.
which mattress should sleep on at night time. So the first one is the pillow. I would recommend: The
Arc4life Traction Pillow. I got it right over here: The traction pillow has two sides to it so
there's a traction side on the bottom you see the V right over here and you've got a support side
over here. The traction side gently stretches the neck; the supp
ort side supports the cervical
spine and you can sleep on your side or your back with this pillow. It's excellent and we've (Arc4life)
been selling it since 2003. The second question I get asked is. What mattress should I sleep on
at night if I'm suffering with neck pain? My best suggestion is the Backscience mattress. I've got
one right over here that I want to show everybody how this mattress aligns your spine. It aligns
the neck, the midback and the lower back and it's great for sleeping
on your back or sleeping
on your side. Let me show you how this mattress looks first of all. One other thing I'm going to
add is that because we live in Florida where it's very hot weather, it's a very cooling mattress
it's not only covered with a cooling fabric let me show you let's get a little bit closer over
here but it's covered with a cooling fabric called bamboo and then on top of that there's an
air transfer system which is right in here. There are tiny holes and channels which all
ow air to
get in and out of the mattress so that it's very breathable. Its 100 times more breathable than
other mattresses. So let me show you then how to sleep on your back and on your side. One of
the things you notice is when you sleep on this mattress is there's no sagging with this mattress.
You feel very supported there's a special gel foam that is built into the mattress and there's
actually many layers to this mattress. That makes it like - like there's a special technology
to slee
p on. So let me show you how I sleep on my back and what it looks like just like. Again
all parts of my spine : my cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine feel very supported there's no
sagging and this is how I look when I'm sleeping on my side just like this again very comfortable
there's no sagging. I also don't feel any kind of pressure on any part of my body. So it's a great
mattress that not only helps me fall asleep but
