For cervical spondylitis a contoured cervical pillow with medium firmness is best, as it supports the natural neck curve and keeps the spine aligned. Memory foam pillows are commonly preferred because they adapt to the neck shape without collapsing. The pillow should not be too high or too flat, as this increases neck strain. Sleeping on the back or side is better than sleeping on the stomach. Using the right pillow regularly can reduce night pain and morning stiffness.
