Okay, obviously a pillow can’t replace help from a medical professional, but hey … it’s a start! There’s about a zillion different pillows out there designed to alleviate neck pain, but our favorite is this simple fiber-filled pillow from Tri-Core. It has a divot in the center with bumper-like cushions on either side to cradle your head, and bolsters on the long ends to support your neck. There’s a large and small bolster, so you can rotate the pillow to use the one that fits you best. Strategist writer Brenley Goertzen tested the Tri-Core for a few nights to see if it would help ease soreness after hours bent over her laptop, and said the pillow helped align her head with her spine, while the contoured cervical support took stress off her shoulders. It also helped her sleep on her back, rather than rolling over to her stomach, which can put additional strain on the neck. This pillow is already budget friendly, but it’s currently discounted on Amazon to just $43 for the full-size model. Just click the coupon check box to secure the discount.
