About Ligwijzer

    Since 2009, we have been helping you sleep better and wake up pain-free.

    At the initiative of movement scientist and physiotherapist Jan Willem Elkhuizen and industrial designer Rick Blom, we devised and developed effective sleep systems for people with neck, back, and headache complaints.

    On our webshop and blog, we provide you with more information about common sleep-related complaints. Most complaints can be prevented or alleviated by improving your sleeping posture.

    Why choose the pillows from Ligwijzer?

    ✅ Reduces pain complaints, improves sleep quality

    In two studies, it has been shown that the Mikoala Sleep Better Set really works. You sleep better and wake up with less headache, neck pain, and back pain. You turn less at night and wake up feeling more energized.
