The harm of fake latex pillows

Latex pillows are a relatively common type of pillow. They have a good health-care effect, especially a calming and hypnotic effect, which can promote a good sleep. However, some unscrupulous manufacturers on the market have produced some fake latex pillows. These latex pillows contain some formaldehyde, which is quite harmful to human health and may even easily induce tumors. You must be careful when buying latex pillows.

The harm of fake latex pillows

There are generally two forms of counterfeiting. One is to replace synthetic latex with natural latex; the other is real fake latex. During the production process, formaldehyde may be added for deamination treatment, which is harmful to human health.

Benefits of latex pillow

1. Anti-mite and anti-bacteria Mites and harmful bacteria cannot survive in natural latex, so using latex pillows can greatly reduce the breeding of mites and harmful bacteria on the pillows. However, in our ordinary pillows, there are mites and bacteria easily, and ordinary pillows can also provide a better living environment for mites and bacteria. Therefore, in comparison, latex pillows have better anti-mite and anti-bacteria functions. 2. Another advantage of the breathable latex pillow is that it has good air permeability, good moisture absorption, and can better dissipate the heat released by the human body. 3. Good resilience: Latex pillows have good resilience, which can provide a more comfortable resting atmosphere for our cervical spine and improve our sleep.

How to identify latex pillow?

1. Smell: Real latex pillows have a light milky scent, but this milky scent is not too strong. If it is too strong, you should also pay attention. 2. Look at the color. Natural latex will not be very white. If it is too white, talcum powder may be added to it. We soak the pillow in water. If the water becomes cloudy, talcum powder may have been added to it.

3. Press the pillow with your hand to see the wrinkles around it. After pressing a real latex pillow, there will be certain wrinkles around it.

4. To check the rebound force, press down again and then let go to check the rebound force of the latex pillow. A real latex pillow has good rebound force and will be able to return to its original shape after you let go.
