The importance of the pillow How to choose a good pillow

Pillows are a sleep tool. It is generally believed that pillows are fillers that people use for sleeping comfort. From the understanding of modern medical research, the human spine is a straight line from the front, but it has three physiological curves. In order to protect the normal physiological curvature of the neck and maintain normal physiological activities during sleep, pillows must be used when sleeping. The pillow is generally composed of a pillow core and a pillowcase. Bad pillows will affect people's sleep, but also prone to cervical problems, how to choose a good pillow in the market? Today Xiao Bian came to explain the importance of the role of the pillow and how to buy Good pillow knowledge!

The importance of pillows for sleep

Direct contact with the pillow is the body's cervical spine, and the cervical spine is closely related to the body's shoulder and back muscles, ligaments, and intervertebral discs. This shows that the right pillow has an impact on human health.

The cervical spine has a lordosis curvature called physiological lordosis. In any case, people are most comfortable to maintain this natural physiological curvature. When sleeping, people should also maintain normal physiological lordosis of the cervical spine before they meet the physiological requirements of the cervical spine. The role of the pillow is to put it under the head and neck when sleeping, so that the cervical spine can maintain normal physiological curvature when the person sleeps, and make the neck skin, muscles, ligaments, intervertebral discs, intervertebral joints and trachea through the neck, The organs of the esophagus, nerves, etc. relax and rest with the entire human body while sleeping.

The pillow should not only be able to support the lordosis of the neck well, but also be able to accommodate the cranial occipital (back of the head) kyphosis, because the head occipital part projects backwards, and only then, each neck Organs and organs will be in a relaxed state. Unsuitable pillows and incorrect sleeping postures may cause neck ligaments and excessive muscle tension to accelerate the dislocation of the intervertebral joints and cause dysfunction.

Therefore, choosing a suitable pillow has a crucial influence on the comfort of sleep and the care of the cervical spine.

Long-lived healthy pillow series, pillow filled with high permeability, good softness, elastic tension, non-hygroscopic, high quality pearl-like granular cotton. The occipital heart is moderately soft and does not collapse due to compression. The back of the brain with the placement point and cervical support, filled with loose breathable cushions, solid refreshing, play a role in the brain and neck massage. (The material of the cushion is the same as the plastic wrap, PE material, non-toxic and harmless).

At the same time bring you comfortable sleep and cervical health care. Correcting the traditional concept of “pillows not pillows and pillows” in the past and maintaining the health of cervical spine. Unique shape design, pillow support effectively the cervical spine, flat and maintain the curve of the cervical spine to prevent cervical spondylosis. The back of the brain has a low-lying design, which makes the head and neck more comfortable and comfortable during sleep. The different heights of the two sides of the pillows allow users of different heights to choose a comfortable sleep. Both sides of the pillow are slightly high, so that the weight of the upper body is shared by the head, neck, and shoulder when sleeping on the side, avoiding sore shoulders.

The three elements of the pillow

The basic shape of the supporting element of the neck

Groove design, the middle is lower than the surrounding, in addition to moderate support of the head, but also can gently support the neck. The left and right sides are thicker and can automatically adapt to the side-sleeping height of the body when the body is turned over during sleep. Each part of this styling can guarantee your ideal sleeping position. The five basic types of pillows include five parts, (front, rear, left, and right side positions and middle position), and moderate support of the neck. Each part can guarantee your best posture. Neck unit: Softly supporting the middle part of the neck: Lower than the surrounding, in order to support the head. Relatively thick on both sides, side-turning during sleep can automatically adapt to the body side reference sleep height.

Element two suitable height

Personally think that you can choose from 5 basic heights, 10 kinds of height-adjusted pillows. The human body sleep is actually the most comfortable when it is in the same posture as the standing posture, that is, the body needs to have an angle of about 5 degrees during sleep. If you don't sleep on a pillow, at least there is no support for the head! Making your neck vertebrae gradually deformable! The problem of not sleeping pillows or pillows is not too small. "Qingdao Piano Notes" also said that the pillow is high, even if you sleep and rest for a long time, but also a bad break! This may be your long sleep time but the old feeling of physical sleep is an important reason!

Three good filling materials

The filling material determines the softness and efficacy of the pillow. At present, natural materials are more popular, kapok, chenille velvet, buckwheat shell, cotton, and flowers, etc., and natural physiotherapy materials can also be added to increase the effectiveness of pillows, such as Chinese incense, lavender, vitex, Apocynum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ginkgo biloba and so on. You can choose more than 10 different basic fillers and more than 40 composite fillers, so that the pillow has different flexibility, hardness and natural effects, allowing customers to choose the right one. According to different filling materials, pillows can be divided into soft pillows, hard pillows and neutral pillows, which are convenient for customers to choose. In addition, the pillows adopt soft and hard double-sided structures, and customers can choose soft and hard surfaces according to their preferences. Go to sleep quickly.

In general, people with high blood pressure, heart disease, and asthma need to sleep high; people with low blood pressure and anemia need to sleep low. Pillows are either too high or too low to be detrimental to human health. So for normal people, the height of the pillow is appropriate. The general understanding is: people who are accustomed to lying on their backs are highly effective and those who are used to sleeping on the side are more suitable.
