The ultimate gift you can give to someone who sleeps looking toward the sky is the perfect pillow. Not all manufacturers create pillows equally, so you need to know the sleeping habits of your beloved or friend before you buy a pillow.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Provide neck support when choosing a a back sleeping pillow. Those that sleep on their back need extra neck support. Consider pillow solutions from Cervitrac and Perfect Rest.

  2. Step 2

    Think of potential allergens before you buy a pillow for someone who sleeps on their back. Check with the pillow receiver if possible to see if they have a preference to pillow material or any allergies. If they have allergies or you suspect allergies, get the hypoallergenic pillow from the Pillow Shop Store.

  3. Step 3

    Consider a water or air pillow for the back sleeper in your life. Many of these designs come with extra neck support and you can fill them to a custom fit level of overall head and neck support when sleeping on the back. Mediflow offers a wide range of these pillows.

  4. Step 4

    Offer a full body pillow when in doubt about specific head, neck and back support needs. Body pillows offer flexible, customized support to help align the head, neck and spine by providing full body support. Buy a body pillow with a removable, washable cover for constant use and cleanliness.

  5. Step 5

    Give inclined comfort for the back sleeper in your life. Buy the Rest and Read pillow available from Select Comfort. This pillow has dual support for the neck and shoulder area along with back support. Any back sleeper can rest comfortably all night long in an upright position.
