For people suffering from pain in the neck region, it is advisable to use a suitable pillow that helps in maintaining the right posture while sleeping. Pillows suitable for every sleeping position are available in stores, which can be brought to reduce the chances of developing pain due to improper sleeping posture. The quality of the mattress is also a contributing factor for arthritis pain at night. If the mattress is too hard and does not support the body, it will in no way provide relaxation to the patient. A foam topper can be placed over the hard mattress to match the requirements of body. Using a mattress-warming pad will keep the mattress warm and provide pain relief by heat therapy (that will go on throughout the night).

A study has established that patients with rheumatoid arthritis are in a better position to manage the pain at night when they are at home and not at the hospital. This is because, at home they are able to freely walk around, have hot drinks and take pain killers if the pain becomes unbearable, but in a hospital setting, they find it difficult to do these things because of the fear of disturbing other patients. Therefore, it is recommended that patients staying at home should take proper medications, exercise and follow a healthy diet to keep a check on arthritis pain and enjoy a fruitful life.
