How about latex pillow

Latex pillows are a very popular type of pillow on the market in recent years. Latex pillows can not only make us sleep better, but also protect our spine. If we have problems with our spine, it may affect our lifestyle habits and cause numbness in our limbs, which is not good for our health. Choosing a latex pillow that suits you is a concern for many people. So, how should you choose a latex pillow?

1. Maintenance methods

Pillows are an indispensable household daily necessity in people's lives, and together with quilts, they form a large series of bedding in the family. As bedding, people usually only pay attention to cleaning and drying quilts, pillowcases and pillowcases, but rarely put pillows outside to air and dry. Little do people know that when they sleep every night, their pillows become the throat for the foul air in the bedding to pass through. In addition, the impure gases exhaled by people when they sleep, as well as the sweat and dirt secreted by the scalp, make the pillows a dirty and messy place for filth to accumulate. Simply cleaning the outer pillowcase and pillow towel is only a temporary solution, and the foul smell in the pillow core cannot be removed. Therefore, the pillow has become one of the uncleanest places in the modern home, which is called the hygienic blind spot of the pillow. Specially made pillow drying bags are specifically used for families to conveniently dry their pillows. It should be noted in particular that if there are infectious diseases in the respiratory tract, digestive tract or head skin, bacteria and viruses will be transmitted into the pillow core, which may lead to cross infection between couples or children. Therefore, it is recommended that you dry and disinfect your pillows frequently to keep them clean. Families with the conditions should not only dry their pillows more often, but also replace pillow cores frequently. According to the advice of medical experts, pillow cores should be replaced at least once every two years, and it is best to dry them once a week.

2. Selection Method

The hardness and shape of the pillow's internal structure are important factors that affect children's hunchbacks. The function of a pillow is to support the cervical vertebra. If it is too high, too large, or too hard, it will affect the forward tilt of the thoracic vertebra (i.e. shoulder vertebra). Over time, the child's tender cervical vertebra will be deformed, and in severe cases, it will cause the child to have a hunchback. It is recommended that children under 1 year old use special infant pillows, and children aged 1-5 years old can use small pillows with a thickness of 2-5CM. The material should be soft and breathable. Children aged 6-10 can use a medium-sized pillow with a thickness of 5-8CM. The material should be soft, breathable and tough. Children aged 12-18 can use medium-to-large sized pillows with a thickness of 8-12CM. The material is soft, breathable and tough.

3. Purchase and Use

1. Is it 100% natural latex?

Synthetic latex comes from petroleum, while natural latex comes from rubber trees. It has a slight smell of rubber, is closer to nature, and costs more.

2. Production process

Most domestic latex products are produced using the Dunlop process. Products produced using the Talalay process are of better quality, but are more expensive due to cost issues.

3. Density of bedding

The best density of a pillow is between 40-45. It is not good to have a pillow that is too big or too small. The optimal density of a mattress is around 80.

4. There is some confusion about the names of latex pillows on the market. Some artificial foam and sponge pillows are also called latex pillows. Latex pillows are also divided into synthetic latex and natural latex. You should ask clearly when purchasing.

5. Only real latex pillows will emit a natural frankincense scent. There are no other materials.

6. A real latex pillow has thousands of honeycomb pores and can hold more air than other fibers.

7. Touch it with your hand and it feels as comfortable as skin.
