How to choose the right pillow

As people's health awareness increases, they are gradually paying more attention to the selection of suitable health pillows. A high-quality pillow can soothe nerves, calm the mind, and protect the cervical spine. However, a suitable pillow should be selected according to one's own physical condition. Some patients with cervical spondylosis should pay special attention to the overall design, height, and softness and hardness of the pillow when choosing.

An ideal pillow can fit the physiological curvature of the cervical spine closely, so that people who work, study and live all day can relieve the fatigue of cervical muscles and ligaments during sleep.

According to ergonomics, a pillow that is high in the front and low in the back is most beneficial to the health of the cervical spine. This pillow can use the convex part in the front to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. The cervical vertebrae are supported and in accordance with the natural curvature, providing good support and protection for the cervical vertebrae.

A high pillow causes the cervical spine to bend too far forward, the soft tissue of the neck to become overly tense and fatigued, making it easy to get a stiff neck. A pillow that is too high can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is particularly detrimental to vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. On the contrary, some people like to sleep without a pillow or with a pillow that is too low. This is also not good because the cervical spine is easily suspended and the lower jaw is lifted upward, making it easy to breathe with the mouth open and snore.

For Asian adults, the appropriate pillow height is about 8-12 cm. Children's health pillows and pillows for cervical patients are especially suitable not to use pillows that are too high. Regarding the material of the pillow, we recommend using a material with good moisture absorption, which can keep the surface of the pillow dry and effectively prevent the breeding and spread of germs and parasites.

A high-quality pillow should be able to absorb impact, allowing the head to feel more comfortable when resting on the pillow, and the product design should be strictly based on ergonomics. Not only do you need to stabilize the head to reduce the possibility of a stiff neck, but you should also avoid the problem of air leaking into the quilt at the shoulders. For friends who have cervical spondylosis and lumbar problems, we recommend that you choose a magnetic therapy pillow with certain health care functions. This can effectively maintain the nerves in the cervical spine and relieve cervical pain.
