How to choose a latex pillow

Pillows are an important indicator to ensure our sleep quality, so it is very important to choose a pillow that suits you. There are many kinds of pillows, such as silk pillows, health pillows, latex pillows, etc. I believe that we are more familiar with the first two types of pillows in daily life, so today we will mainly introduce latex pillows. Latex is also very helpful for our head blood circulation and smooth breathing, so follow our steps to pick a latex pillow!

Choose the right pillow hardness

The hardness and shape of the latex pillow's inner 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.

Different pillows for different age groups

It is recommended that children under 1 year old should not use pillows. Children aged 1-5 years old can use small pillows with a thickness of 6-8CM. The material should be soft and breathable. Children aged 6-10 can use a medium-sized pillow with a thickness of 8-12CM. The material should be soft, breathable and tough. Children aged 12-18 can use medium to large size pillows, which are 12-15CM thick and made of soft, breathable and tough material.

Things to note when buying latex pillows

1. Is it 100% natural latex?

Synthetic latex comes from petroleum, while natural latex comes from rubber trees. Natural latex has a light frankincense scent, is closer to nature, and has a higher cost.

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 in 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 hands, it feels comfortable just like skin

The above is our detailed introduction on how to choose latex pillows. Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of how to choose latex pillows. In fact, latex pillows are very helpful for adults, but we do not recommend children under 1 year old to use latex pillows because it will affect the child’s spine.
