The height of the pillow determines the length of life

Guoguo has seen many people have soft and comfortable beds, but feel sore backs when they wake up; their partners have no health problems, but always snore from time to time, making it difficult for them to fall asleep... Sometimes, it is not that there is something wrong with people's bodies, but that they lack a good pillow. The pillow is our closest companion when we sleep. If used improperly, it will affect our health. To this end, if you want to have a healthy sleep, it is best to first check whether your pillow is suitable. Let’s go and have a look with Guoguo:

High pillows can easily cause cervical spondylosis

As the ancients said, sleep soundly and have no worries. However, in medical clinics, many patients suffer from stiff neck because they sleep with pillows that are too high. High pillow is one of the common causes of stiff neck and cervical spondylosis.

Low pillow causes uneven blood supply

Experts believe that having a pillow that is too low or not using a pillow is also bad for your health. Some people who suffer from cervical spondylosis believe that not using a pillow will help their recovery. In fact, this idea is unscientific. Without a pillow, people will lean back too much when lying on their backs, and tend to breathe through their mouths, which can lead to dry mouth, dry tongue, sore throat and snoring. If you sleep on your side without a pillow, the neck muscles on one side may become overstretched and fatigued, causing spasms and pain, resulting in a stiff neck.

A pillow that is too low will also result in an unbalanced blood supply, which can easily cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa. The nasal mucosa is very sensitive, and swelling will affect breathing. If you experience neck and shoulder pain after waking up, it may be caused by a pillow that is too low or not using a pillow.

Nowadays, many people sit in front of the computer for a long time and maintain the same posture, which can easily cause neck problems, such as cervical bone hyperplasia. It is recommended that such people pay special attention to choosing a suitable pillow when sleeping, place the head in the center of the pillow, and choose a harder bed. You should choose a pillow that is breathable and can be adjusted in height at any time, preferably in the physiological position. The general height should be 8cm-15cm. The best filling for pillows is buckwheat husk. Buckwheat husk pillows are not only excellent for the head.
