The HeadRight! My fix for Forward Head Posture (FHP)
I have the weirdest looking pillow to show you today. Weird looking, but, absolutely BRILLIANT in design and it’s improving my spinal alignment while I sleep!!
I have really bad Forward Head Posture, although I didn’t realize it was a condition! Seriously, I thought that the ‘hump’ at the base of my skull was hereditary, my Grandmother had one as she aged. I thought I was just meant to have this ‘hump’ like thing on the back of my neck too. I had absolutely no idea that I could actually fix this!! Better yet, I am actually taking steps with my new pillow! The HeadRight is so much more than a pillow.
First, I really do have bad posture, I have to remind myself to not slouch when I sit at the table. Then there is the computer! I sit on the couch with my laptop on my knees… yea…. that isn’t helping my FHP (Forward Head Posture) I text, a LOT, that doesn’t help, as a matter of fact, so many things I am doing, only make my FHP worse.
Did you know that FHP is a condition that can lead to significant risks to your health. Again, I had no idea!!
Experts say good posture and a properly aligned spine are vital for a properly functioning nervous system and good health. Current research shows that the key to an optimally aligned spine is getting and maintaining a balanced alignment between your head and spine. “…The brain, spinal cord and nervous system controls and coordinates ALL of the body’s functions.” (Grays Anatomy).
When properly aligned, the head and spine effectively protects this delicate nerve control system. When not properly aligned, the force of gravity increases spinal pressure and mechanical stress, compressing delicate nerves that control the heart, lungs, kidneys, muscles and ALL cells and systems of the body.
So, to make matters worse, the pillow that I was using was making matters worse. My pillow was VERY wrong for me!! When I look at the graphic below I see just how bad!! Check out the way your neck looks on a high pillow!!
When ‘The HeadRight’ arrived, you should have seen my face, the HeadRight is really REALLY odd looking!! I truly wondered how in the WORLD will this pillow be comfortable?? Let alone help my neck!! I read through the instructions first, I learned that not everyone can sleep through the night using ‘The HeadRight,’ right away. Personally, I had no problem at all. I truly find that this is an extremely comfortable pillow to sleep on! I can’t imagine sleeping on a regular pillow ever again. I don’t understand how this pillow is SO COMFORTABLE!! AND NO MATTER WHAT POSITION I SLEEP IN! I am always comfortable!!! I am blown away by this pillow!! I toss and turn a lot at night, I sleep on my side, my back, my side, my back…….but the HR is always comfortable!! AND here is my favorite part!! My ‘hump’ is significantly less in just 3 weeks!! I wake up with NO neck pain!! (I wonder if The HeadRight people could make-over my mattress?!?!?)
“The HeadRight®’ has been called a ‘smart pillow’ because it seems to know how and where to place each of it’s 3 perfectly contoured surfaces in order to perfectly support both side and back sleeping positions.

My mother ALWAYS said: Stand up Straight! I teach an Arthritis Aqua class and I’m always telling them: Good Posture! I’m very aware of posture and for the most part keep good posture. Interesting pillow.
