Medical - Medical: Health Care / Kissen
German term or phrase: Nackenmulde
Die Füllung dieses Kissens besteht aus einem Polster aus Natur-Kautschuk umgeben von einem Bezug aus unversteppter Baumwolle.
Das Kissen ist sehr voluminös und punktelastisch und dadurch ideal für Seitenschläfer, da die Nackenmulde komplett ausgefüllt wird.

hollow of the neck
Explanation:
Side sleepers need a firmer pillow in order to fill in the space between the head and shoulder. Remember to tuck your chin in slightly and position the head between your shoulders rather than curling forward. Try rolling up a small towel and putting it inside the pillow case so it lies in the hollow of your neck. If this is comfortable, a contoured pillow may give you the best support.

The Obus Forme Cervical Neck Support Pillow promotes proper cervical neck alignment by supporting the natural hollow in the contour of your neck. Choose two different heights of support.
