Poor neck posture during the night effects pain sensitive structures of the neck and may be responsible for producing neck pain and stiffness upon waking, headaches and shoulder and/or arm pain. Neck related headaches are related to the upper part of the neck, while shoulder and arm pain can be referred from the lower levels of the neck; so pillows should provide support to all levels of the neck. Accordingly, pillow position may be related to specific areas as headaches may indicate rotational torsion from pillow which do not provide the correct surface for neutral positioning in the coronal or left and right rotational planes, while shoulder and/or arm pain may indicate pillows that lack a level support in sagittal or front and back planes. Neck pillows should also provide support in the left and right flexion plane which can relate to shoulder and arm pain and/or numbness. While in the side position with the left side up, pillows that are too high may cause undue stretching of the right neck and shoulder muscles, while compressing nerves and/or blood vessels of the left side of the neck.

Common human health problem consists of pain and tension in the head, neck and shoulders. This problem may arise in an otherwise healthy person due to improper support of the head, neck and shoulders during sleeping. Additionally, many injuries and conditions, such as whiplash, sprains, strains, arthritis and disc syndromes may increase the need for optimal head and neck support during sleeping to promote healing or reduce flare-ups of the injury or condition during rest. The pain and tension may cause associated problems related to resting, such as insomnia, restlessness, light sleep, and snoring.

The optimal position of the neck is called the neutral position. This position corresponds substantially to the most anatomically natural position of the cervical spine of a person who is standing upright with correct posture. In the neutral position, the lordotic curve of the neck is maintained such that the least stress is placed on the cervical vertebrae and surrounding connective and other tissues, and the minimum amount of neck pain is maintained.

When a human's head and neck are not in the optimal position, the circulation of blood and nutrients through the neck is restricted by constrictions due to stressed connective tissue and vessels. Additionally, suboptimal neck position can place stress on the nerves in the neck and head causing neurological instability of the vasomotor and muscular mechanical reflexes, among other neurological problems. Suboptimal neck position may also constrict breathing, which can cause or exacerbate snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing related disorders that affect resting persons.

Humans recline in many positions during rest, including supine (on one's back), lateral (on one's left or right side), and the prone (on one's stomach) position. Therapeutic pillows are designed to support the head and neck in either the supine or a lateral position as he or she changes position naturally during the course of rest, such that a neutral cervical posture is maintained in both positions.

The support system for the head and neck is integral to the shape of the pillow and relieves pressure of body parts associated with the head and neck, such as the shoulders and arms, and thus decreases pressure points associated with muscle, ligaments, bursae, and bony prominences. This arrangement increase circulation to the skin and underlying connective tissue so as to deliver increased oxygen.

Properly designed neck pillows reduce pressure on the shoulders and arms in the lateral position and provides a therapeutic cervical position in a laterally reclining user while providing a soft, comfortable supportive surface to conform to the user's temporal-mandibular joint, mandible, and other facial bones and features. Support for the neck in the supine position encourages the healthy lordotic curvature of the cervical spine.
