You would never buy shoes in one size for everyone. So why buy a pillow that way?
Broad shoulders or narrow, a long neck or a short one, side sleeper or back sleeper, soft mattress or firm – every body needs a different pillow height. A standard pillow is a guess. If it is too high, your head is pushed up and your neck bends. If it is too low, your head drops and your neck bends the other way. Either way, your neck and shoulder muscles work all night instead of resting.
What decides your pillow height
Your shoulders
The wider your shoulders, the bigger the gap between your head and the mattress when you lie on your side.
Your neck
Neck length and thickness change how much support your neck needs to stay straight.
How you sleep
Side, back and stomach sleepers each need a different height.
Your mattress
On a soft mattress your shoulder sinks in deeper, so you need a lower pillow than on a firm one.

Created by a physiotherapist. In 2003 Dutch physiotherapist Thijs van der Hilst developed a method based on three body measurements to find the right pillow for each of his patients.
