Derila Cervical Pillow: Spine Support Explained

What is “cervical” support?

“Cervical” refers to the seven neck vertebrae (C1–C7). Neutral support keeps the natural curve of your neck — not flexed forward and not hyper-extended — so muscles don’t fight all night to hold your head up.

• Neck ridge: the higher edge cradles the neck so it fills the gap between shoulder and head.
• Head cradle: stabilizes the skull to reduce rolling that strains small stabilizer muscles.
• Shoulder-friendly edge: makes side sleeping feel natural without scrunching the shoulder.

Not medical advice. Derila is a comfort accessory — not a medical device. Experiences vary.

Positions that keep alignment steady

1. Side sleeping: place the higher ridge under your neck, head centered in the cradle; keep nose and sternum in one line.
2. Back sleeping: rest the back of the head in the cradle; avoid stacking extra pillows that push the chin toward the chest.
3. Frequent turner: the stable contour reduces big posture swings when you change sides at night.

Who may benefit from cervical support

• Desk workers who feel end-of-day neck tightness.
• Side sleepers whose shoulder gets “pinched” on regular pillows.
• Back sleepers who wake with a forward-bent chin posture.
• Anyone wanting more consistent head–neck alignment through the night.

Setup & care

• Place the higher ridge under your neck (not under the back of the head).
• Use a breathable pillowcase; give the foam a few nights to adapt to you.
• Keep the pillow centered and level; avoid very high extra pillows on top.
• Air the cover as needed; follow care instructions on the label.
