To improve your hunchback posture while you sleep, an expert from the “Upright Health” channel has shared some valuable tips that can help you achieve a better overall body position.
Avoid using too many or bulky pillows, as they force your head and neck forward.
Your pillow should be just high enough to keep your head and neck in a straight, neutral line with your spine. You can use a rolled-up towel to help find the right height.
If you have an arched lower back, placing a pillow under your knees can help neutralize that position.

Again, avoid stacking pillows that bend your neck awkwardly.
The pillow should be just supportive enough to keep your head and neck aligned with the rest of your body.
For hip pain, place a pillow between your knees.
Most importantly, avoid aggressively curling into a fetal position, as this worsens hunchback posture. Try to keep your body relatively open.
This position puts a lot of pressure on your spine, but if you’re used to it, place a thin pillow under your pelvis and tummy to reduce the strain.
Remember that every person’s body is different. You’ll need to experiment to find the best sleeping position that works for you.
