I felt quite comfortable when I first put it on, but after a long time, my neck is still sour and my shoulders are still sour.

The correct choice of pillow is very helpful to relieve pain. Everyone should buy according to their actual needs. Generally, pillows with grooves in the middle and low-height buckwheat skin pillows have good health care effects on cervical vertebrae. For the pillow itself, the part supporting the nape of the neck (neck curvature) is slightly higher and has a certain hardness to set off and maintain the physiological curvature of the neck. The part supporting the back of the head should be 3 ~ 5 cm lower than the above parts, so as to fully support the head and adapt to the height of the neck. Generally speaking, patients with hypertension, heart disease and asthma sometimes need to sleep on high pillows; People with low blood pressure and anemia sometimes need to sleep on low pillows. Pillows that are too soft and hard will reduce the contact area between the pillow and the head, increase the pressure and make the scalp uncomfortable; However, if the pillow is too soft, it is difficult to maintain a certain height, the neck muscles are easy to fatigue, which is not conducive to sleep, and the head is trapped in it, which will affect blood circulation and make the head numb. Suitable soft and hard pillows should be of a slightly soft type without losing some hardness. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure between the pillow and the scalp, on the other hand, it can maintain the uneven pressure and let the blood pass through the place with less pressure. As long as the pillow is slightly elastic, too much elasticity will cause neck muscle fatigue and injury.
