Some people that sleep on their front may also benefit from sleeping without a pillow.

It can also aid in maintaining the posture of the neck and spine as you sleep, reducing neck and back pain.

However, not everyone should do it.

Without a pillow, those who sleep on their back or side may experience neck or back pain.
