Posture expert reveals the only two sleeping positions that are spine-approved

How you sleep can have a huge impact on your health, and a posture expert has revealed the only two positions that he approves of for dosing off in.

James Leinhardt, founder of foam pillow and mattress brand Levitex, explains: "If you’re lying on your back, your spine is immediately supported by the mattress, and you’ve got the most even distribution of body weight."

He adds you should also pop a pillow under your knees for better back support.

The second position is perfect for side sleepers, however, he suggests putting a pillow between your knees to avoid damaging your spine.

One position that's strictly off limits? Sleeping on your stomach. Sorry!
