How to choose a pillow

Many people say that besides people, the most important thing for a home is to have a comfortable bed. Why? This is because one-third of a person's life is spent sleeping, so the requirements for beds and bedding are higher. Among them, pillows also play a key role. You must know that a badly chosen pillow will greatly affect your blink of an eye. Let's talk about how to choose a pillow.

1. Choose the size based on gender

Not everyone is suitable for the same thickness of pillow, and it is not a matter of personal preference. How important a suitable pillow is has little to do with interest. Normally, men choose different pillows than women. Most men's pillows are larger in size because men's shoulders are thicker than women's, so they should choose a large pillow. Women choose smaller pillows, while men choose pillows with a thickness difference of 2cm.

2. Elderly people choose hardness

The elderly are older, so they cannot use the same pillows as we do. It is more suitable for them to choose harder pillows, because if the pillow is too soft, it will not be convenient for the head to turn, and the face will easily be buried in the pillow, making breathing more difficult.

3. Minors should adjust their pillows regularly

For minors, who are still in a developmental stage, the size and thickness of pillows cannot be fixed. They need to be adjusted at different ages. Generally, they are 2-5cm lower than adult pillows.

4. Cervical vertebra strain: moderate hardness and softness

For those who usually feel uncomfortable in the cervical spine or have obvious strain, it is recommended to choose a pillow with moderate hardness. This will improve the strain of the cervical spine and you will not feel uncomfortable when sleeping.

5. Choose pillows according to season

You don't have to choose the same pillow in all seasons. Generally, the temperature of the human head after falling asleep is 3 or 4 degrees lower than the normal body temperature. If the temperature of the pillow is too high, it will be difficult to fall asleep. It is okay in winter because it is a warm pillow. If it is summer, it is recommended to choose a pillow with a mat surface.

Above we have talked about how to choose a pillow, and have given different introductions from various aspects. Men, women, the elderly, and children have different requirements for pillows. In addition, there are also differences in the four seasons. From this we can see that choosing a pillow is also a science. If you want to have a good pillow, you have to carefully select it before you can buy a suitable one.
