Do you prefer big spoon or little spoon? Tag someone you want to spoon tonight! Cuddling can be quite uncomfortable for many of us. If you have yourself set up properly with pillows, it can make it much more tolerable.

Spooning is essentially side sleeping, so you will want a larger pillow under your head to keep the spine straight. A pillow that is too small can cause the head to fall down toward the bed and compress the bottom shoulder. If you find that your arm often goes to sleep in the side sleeping position, your scalenes and pecs may be too tight from the poor movements you are making throughout your day. Having a pillow to roll back on also helps to take pressure off of the bottom shoulder. The reason I flail my arm around is because my heavy arm often crushes my partner. Having a pillow for half my arm to rest on helps to take some pressure off. Pillows between the legs take pressure off of the knees, hips, and back.


Keep in mind that if you are experiencing pain while you sleep, it is likely the result of poor movement patterns throughout your day and imbalances in your body throughout your day.
