For a straight cervical spine with neck pain, a contoured cervical pillow with medium firmness works best, as it supports the natural neck curve and keeps the spine in neutral alignment. Memory foam or latex pillows are usually ideal because they provide consistent support without collapsing. The pillow height should be moderate—neither too high nor too flat—to avoid bending the neck forward. Back or side sleeping is preferable, and stomach sleeping should be avoided. Using the pillow consistently along with posture care can significantly reduce morning stiffness and pain.
