What is a pillow core?
The pillow core needs filling materials to keep the pillow at a certain height when it is used. There are all kinds of fillers in the pillow market, including cassia seed, wild chrysanthemum, silkworm excrement and other Chinese herbal medicines. There are buckwheat husk, chaff, cotton and other cereals; In addition, materials such as rush, cattail, waste tea, porous vacuum sponge, slow rebound sponge and other modern processing materials are all well-known filling materials in the market. Chinese herbal medicine has been considered as the best pillow filling material since ancient times. Chinese medicine believes that Chinese herbal medicine, as a pillow filling material, can slowly exert its efficacy in people's long-term sleep and can play a role in health care and even treatment of diseases. In particular, cassia seed, silkworm excrement and other negative Chinese herbal medicines are most in line with the theory of "cooling the head and warming the feet" in traditional Chinese medicine, so they are also the most popular pillow filling materials throughout the ages. Plant materials such as grains have always been considered as traditional filling materials, mainly because they are rich in amino acids, which can be partially absorbed by the human body through skin friction and breathing during sleep. The pillow core material made by modern technology mainly pays attention to the comfort of the pillow.

Buckwheat pillow

-There's a reason. Buckwheat pillow is a natural pillow. Traditional things are always handed down for a reason. Buckwheat has a tough and unbreakable diamond structure, and the buckwheat skin pillow can change shape with the head moving left and right, so it is very comfortable to sleep. The cleaning method is to bask in the sun regularly, but the disadvantage is poor plasticity, so it is difficult to create a perfect ergonomic shape.

Elastic tube pillow core

—— Made of high composite molecular materials, food-grade elastic tube can be directly used as pillow core. Compared with the traditional pillow core, it has good plasticity, good hygroscopicity, mildew resistance and mite resistance. It is more convenient to clean and clean the pillow core. It conforms to the physiological curve of human body, has the function of massaging the head, promotes blood circulation in the body and enhances metabolism, and is a new generation of pillow filler.

Kapok pillow

—— Filled with pure natural pillow material, kapok is the natural wild cellulose in the fruit of the woody plant Panzhihua tree, which can dispel wind and remove dampness, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. The hollow degree of kapok fiber is as high as 86%, far exceeding that of man-made fiber and any other natural material by 25%-40%. The fiber industry knows that it is an excellent textile material with ultra-high warmth retention, natural antibacterial, moth-proof and mildew-proof. Kapok fiber is ultra-short, ultra-fine and super-soft, especially Indonesian first-class kapok.

Chemical fiber pillow

Cheap but not practical, this is an ordinary man-made fiber pillow with the advantage of easy cleaning. Because the chemical fiber material is airtight, it is easy to deform, block and lack elasticity after being used for a long time, and the pillow is uneven, especially the inferior chemical fiber pillows produced by some small manufacturers. Therefore, I suggest that when you buy pillows, you should try to choose well-known brands with good elasticity, and don't covet the cheap ones that are easy to deform and inferior.

Latex pillow

Latex is not only good in price, good in elasticity, difficult to deform and strong in support. It is said that latex can change the head shape of children with developing bones, and there will be no allergens such as dust and fiber that cause respiratory allergies. Some latex pillows also have the functions of massage and promoting blood circulation. Latex pillow is a good pillow, but it is also expensive and not suitable for ordinary families.

Down pillow

-Easy to use, but not easy to clean. A good down pillow should choose large pieces of down, which can provide better support for the head and will not be deformed because of long-term use. Moreover, eiderdown has the advantages of light weight, air permeability and no mugginess. Feather pillow material is very good, but the most prominent disadvantage is that it is not easy to clean.

Cassia seed pillow

-raw cassia seed is used as a pillow for external use, put in a cloth bag and made into a pillow. Cassia seed is slightly cold and slightly fragrant with grass. Sleeping with a pillow smells like sleeping in the green grass. Its hard seeds can also massage the head and neck points, so it has an auxiliary effect on headache, dizziness, insomnia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and cervical spondylosis caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. Cassia seed has many uses in natural physiotherapy, and is widely used in the fields of lowering blood pressure, relaxing bowels and losing weight. In addition, cassia seed has unique coolness, which is particularly comfortable to use in summer, especially in line with the basic physiotherapy theory of "cooling head and warming feet" in traditional Chinese medicine. Huang Wei natural pillow not only ensures the health care function, but also uses cassia seed ingredients and unique fiber fillers to make the pillow more comfortable and soft, and make the sleep more pleasant while keeping healthy.
