Dangers of gel pillows

Gel pillows have become quite popular in recent years. They are good for the body and can promote sleep. Generally, gel pillows will not cause harm to the body. However, some unscrupulous manufacturers now often produce inferior gel pillows, which contain some chemicals that are harmful to health. If you use such inferior gel pillows, it will have adverse effects on your health.

Gel pillow hazards

1. Since people have different preferences for sleeping positions, and gel pillows are relatively soft, they may not have the right height, which will affect their sleeping positions. Therefore, it takes time to get used to using gel pillows. 2. When you first start using a gel pillow, there may be some unpleasant odor, which is also one of the common complaints from users. 3. Pillows filled with polyfiber materials may breed dust mites, which may eventually cause some allergens and affect a person's sleep. These allergens can cause you to sneeze during your sleep, so it is best to add a hypoallergenic pillowcase to your gel pillow.

How to maintain a gel pillow

There is not much introduction to the maintenance methods of traditional pillows, because their structural design is not in line with the humanized design. Long-term use will only cause damage to people's cervical vertebrae. The main maintenance method is to frequently wash the pillow cover and expose the pillow to the sun frequently to dry. The cervical health pillow or memory health pillow used by modern people is also the most common pillow in line with the humanized design. In order to distinguish them, I decided to write down their materials to prevent different types of health pillows from using this method. The maintenance methods for different types of health pillows may be very similar, for reference by friends.

Gel pillow pillow material: warm memory foam, slow rebound memory foam, space memory pillow; Gel pillow maintenance method: vacuum the pillow core with a vacuum cleaner or pat the pillow core gently with your hands every month or so;

How to clean a gel pillow: remove the pillowcase and inner cover to clean, but do not wash the pillow core; Note: The gel pillow core should not be exposed to the sun or placed in a washing machine for cleaning like ordinary pillows. Sun exposure or washing will damage the structure of natural latex pillows and memory foam, greatly shortening their service life. Exposure to the sun causes the memory foam material to age and turn yellow, while washing makes the memory foam absorb water and become very heavy, and the water in the pillow core cannot drain out. The maintenance of gel pillows mainly involves the maintenance of the pillow core and pillowcase. Because gel pillows are fundamentally different from ordinary pillows, conventional maintenance methods cannot be used. When buying a pillow, you must pay attention to the material of the pillow core to ensure the quality of the pillow. There are many gel pillows on the market. It is recommended that you choose branded products. Branded gel pillows are relatively less harmful and have many advantages, so consumers can buy them with confidence.
