Quality sleep characterized by being comfortable and sufficient helps alleviate daily physical and mental fatigue and restore metabolic functions.

The main function of the pillow is to support the cervical spine in a neutral position, in addition to avoiding the accumulation of physical fatigue during sleep, it assists in movements, re- duces noise and vibrations, in addition to relieving pressure on the head. When an adequate sleep cycle is suppressed, symptoms such as the presence of daytime fatigue, psychomotor impairment, accidents, deterioration of physical and psychological health appear. Poor quality sleep is prevalent in 3-16% of the general population. Characterized by symptoms of awakening, such as neck pain, stiffness, headache, shoulder and arm pain. Poor quality of sleep cau- ses increased sensitivity to pain, while the presence of pain during the day will be followed by a poor-quality night. People with poor quality of sleep are more susceptible to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Approximately 33% of the population is affected by temporomandibular joint dysfunction, of which up to 70% refers poor quality sleep.
