Pillows for Migraines: Designed for Migraineurs..

There are several pillows for migraines designed just for migraine sufferers, for their migraine headache relief.

You'll have to be the judge on the one you purchase. My wife has had a migraine pillow for about ten years now.

We were talking on another page about migraine prevention, and migraine treatment. This headache pillow falls right in there with migraine treatment, and a preventive. Where does one spend about one third of their time? Right, in the bed.

And many different "things" can trigger a migraine or headache, one being the pillow you spend so much time on. How could that be? A poorly designed pillow, won't support the neck area, where many headaches originate.

When I grew up there was the famous down pillow (remember those)? Do you remember waking up and having a stiff neck? "I do". If you still use a down pillow, stop, they collect "dust mites", and are not suitable for migraine sufferers.

Also pointing toward one of the best pillows on the market today for the price is the buckwheat pillow.

If you know exactly what is causing your migraines, then you're ahead of most migraine sufferers.

If you have damaged facet joints, or a neck injury, then pillows for migraines is a must.

Make sure you have a supportive pillow so your head rests comfortably.

Don't use foam rubber or some other material that will jiggle your neck, however, memory foam pillows are fine.

My wife got her pillow from a chiropractic office (and won't let me use it either).

What happen?

The little things add up. She was diagnosed with arthritis in her facet joints. But was given a steady supply of pain medicine for her headaches. She started to rebound, and without a proper diagnose of one of her headache causes, just got worse. She was sleeping on a pillow that wasn't designed for headaches and migraines. You can see how mismanaged headaches can get out of control, don't you?

Here's what's said about her pillow. Her pillow had a odor to it for awhile, but it's not there now. Read all of the reviews I found on these pillows for migraines. Before buying, read all reviews.

TempurPedic "The Neck Pillow is; BEST EVER PILLOW FOR A BAD NECK5I have used a TempurPedic ;Neck Pillow; size small for several years. I have bulging discs in my cervical spine (neck) which impinge on the nerves of my shoulders, due to an accident. I see a Pain doctor and a Neurologist for this problem...I have tried, over many years, all kinds of pillows, including the ones with little beads or beans (?) in them, various types in stores or online recommended for the neck/shoulder area...this was by far the most expensive but is definitely worth it. You know ones neck is only inches away from the head, and by looking for pillows for migraines, ones going to wake up with their neck more stable, and that results in less pain.

And this in turn may be what is needed for a better day. I'm going to give you another picture of a very popular migraine pillow. It's called the Mediflow Water Based Pillow

I bought two pillows for my wife and I. We used them for a week, and then I bought three more for family Christmas gifts. I suggest using warm water and a little bleach in a clean milk jug. Lay the pillow on a hard surface, like a table, and with the fill tube inserted, fill with the water solution. After filling, carefully push down on the sides and move your hands towards the fill hole, until all of the air is gone.

It may take two or three tries to get the right feel you are looking for, but it is well worth it. The best part of these pillows is that they stay basically in one spot all night because of the water weight, and there is no fluffing involved. By far, the best pillows I have ever owned.

With hundreds of migraine triggers or causes, one has to play a detective. My wife wasn't checked for her headache cause. That may have saved several years of headaches if she had a better diagnose to start with. We have on another page where doctors fail to let one know of the biggest factors of migraine triggers. They just start a course of treatment, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But you have to be the detective. Learn all you can about your type of headache. Put the old thinking hat on. Does the neck hurt or is it stiff, do you notice more migraines if you eat certain foods? How about beverages. Sound make the head worse, lights, anger, stress, missing meals, how about messed up sleeping habits? Lots to sort through, isn't there? That's just to name a few migraine and headache triggers/causes.

This will be the best source of migraine treatment for all migraineurs. Over 50% of your treatment will come from you, and your slicing, and dicing on those headaches. If you're like 95% of migraine sufferers, you can find relief, wheither it comes from pillows for migraines, to food triggers, and even supplements to take the edge off.

Our last page covers migraine cures and our next page is info on Migrelief. And when it comes to pillows for migraines, many rave about the buckwheat pillows.

All the best on pillows for migraines, be good
