Is it better to sleep with a high pillow or a low pillow?

Sleeping is something that every one of us has to do every day. We usually use pillows when sleeping. This is also one of our sleeping habits. However, when using pillows, we need to pay attention to the height of the pillow. Everyone has different living habits, and the height of the pillows they use is also different. For pillows, it is generally good to choose one that suits you. So, is it better to sleep with a high pillow or a low pillow? For such problems, we will understand them through the following introduction.

Generally speaking, people with high blood pressure, heart disease, and asthma need to sleep with a high pillow; people with low blood pressure and anemia need to sleep with a low pillow. A pillow that is too high or too low is not good for human health. So for normal people, the general understanding is: those who are used to sleeping on their backs should have a pillow one fist high, and those who are used to sleeping on their sides should have a pillow one and a half fists high.

But according to recent medical surveys, healthy people change postures about 20-45 times in 8 hours of sleep, and half of the postures are changed once in less than 5 minutes, of which 60% are supine, 35% are side-lying, and 5% are prone. So although the pillow height people need often varies from person to person and is related to each person's weight, shoulder width, and neck length, and there is no definite standard, but since most people spend more time sleeping in a supine position, it is recommended to use a height of a little more than one fist, and not a height of one and a half fists. Shizhibao believes that pillows vary from person to person! The best pillow is the one that suits you!

Through the above introduction, we now know whether it is better to sleep with a high pillow or a low pillow. When sleeping, each of us has different habits and uses different pillows. The height is even more different. But when using a pillow, we must decide according to our own situation. Too high or too low is not good for the human body.
