Material and function of pillow core
1/8 Step by step reading
We spent half a day browsing and studying the literature about "the choice of pillows, the standard of good pillows and cervical pillows" in Baidu experience. There are indeed many important health beliefs, which are good for cervical vertebrae, sleep and health. However, I still want to add more questions that you haven't mentioned according to my own experience.
To evaluate a pillow, we start with the following aspects: material and function, shape, hardness, pillowcase and price.
Analyze one by one. I hope that after reading this experience, you will stop watching other experiences. This is the reason why we wrote this article.
2/8
1, material:
① chemical fiber pillow
Chemical fiber pillow is the cheapest of all pillows, but it will deform and agglomerate after long use. Moreover, chemical fiber itself will generate electricity by friction, and static electricity is not good for scalp and hair. It is rare in the market and can be ignored. But if you or your family are still using it, it is recommended to discard it and replace it.
3/8
② Down pillow
Down has excellent softness, heat preservation and elasticity, which is not only light in weight and good in personal fit, but also rich in moisture absorption and release, so it will not feel stuffy when used. A good down pillow has good bulkiness, will not be deformed due to long-term use, and has the advantages of light weight, breathability and no mugginess. But it is not easy to clean up, and more importantly, many people are allergic to down.
4/8
③ Buckwheat pillow
Using buckwheat shell as pillow core is a traditional pillow used by people since ancient times. The pillow core is made of buckwheat skin, mung bean skin, millet, silkworm excrement and so on, which is economical and practical. It is light in weight and has a tough and unbreakable diamond structure. As a pillow core, it can change shape with the movement of the head, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has the effect of clearing heat and dispelling fire. But the disadvantage is that it can't be cleaned, so it's best to bask regularly.
5/8
④ Cassia seed pillow
Put raw cassia seed into a cloth bag and make a pillow. Cassia seed is slightly cold and slightly fragrant with grass. Sleeping with a pillow smells like sleeping in the green grass. Its seeds are hard and can be massaged at the head and neck acupoints, which has an auxiliary effect on headache, dizziness, insomnia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and cervical spondylosis caused by hyperactivity of liver yang (there is no way to consider it).
6/8
⑤ Latex pillow
The juice extracted from natural oak is soft, comfortable, elastic and not easy to deform after foaming at high temperature, and its support for human cervical vertebra is relatively improved. Latex pillow has more than 3000 holes on its surface, which looks like sponge cake. The material has good comfort, long service life, difficult deformation, strong support and easy cleaning. However, the price of 100% pure imported latex pillow is very expensive, and there are too many fakes in China at present. From the market point of view, everything below 500 yuan should be impure.
7/8
⑥ memory cotton pillow
The memory pillow adopts high-density memory technology cotton, which can fully perceive the weight characteristics of the human body. Temperature-induced subsidence can simulate the human body shape, give complete support to all parts, and make people enjoy stress-free comfort. Unique temperature sensing effect, comfortable and soft touch, uniform and complete support, make your head completely relaxed during sleep, and keep the most natural head posture whether sleeping on your back or on your side. It is worth noting that memory cotton may lose his memory. We can't find the height of the collapsed pillow with naked eyes, which will cause harm to patients with cervical spine problems for a long time.
8/8
⑦ polyurethane
This is a new type of organic polymer material. At present, only Neofius uses this material. It is reported that this pillow was independently developed by NEOPHYSIOTEC and obtained two patents, which is very gimmicky. After purchasing the pillow for trial use, the research group decided to make a targeted analysis of this pillow based on blog, news and other materials. According to the data, the material of the pillow passed the general antibacterial test, and the test result was 99.99% antibacterial. It is a very good choice for people with acne on their faces and high respiratory quality requirements. In more than a dozen test certificates, we also found that we usually do a stress test in memory cotton, but the data of this pillow is staggering. After 80,000 pressure tests, only 1.4% sagged and hardly deformed.
The significance of pillow shape
1/4
2. Shape:
We won't talk much about pillows for ordinary households. Habit and comfort can meet basic needs. People with poor cervical vertebrae use short pillows, and people who sleep soundly like to sit back and relax. It's that simple. Today, however, I want to further explain some unique pillow shapes. Why would anyone design them this way or that?
2/4
① Latex pillow
Due to the foaming process, Thailand latex pillow is easy to form bubble holes, which can be made into various shapes by modeling. Because the softness is very comfortable and the latex pillow is not afraid of heights, the special shape may have a unique effect on the cervical spine. However, patients with cervical spine are not easy to accept latex pillows, and the taste and reaction force are relatively large. Pure natural latex has antibacterial function, but so far no one has seen the test certificate. These three points are where the latex pillow is deducted.
Look at the remaining 2 pictures.

② memory cotton.
Memory technology cotton can sense the weight of human body, and temperature-induced subsidence can simulate the shape of human head, give complete support, and make people enjoy the comfort of no pressure and no response. Most of the shapes are relatively large, and there is nothing special, because it already has a concave function. Still the same problem: memory cotton will lose his memory, and the height of the collapsed pillow can't be found with the naked eye, which will do harm to patients with cervical vertebra problems for a long time.
4/4
③ Polyurethane (Neopheus)
In the previous picture, careful people will find that the shape of this pillow is very unique. Indeed, this is already a patent. According to Baidu Encyclopedia and experience, the appearance of an excellent cervical pillow should be like this. One punch is high, there is no reaction, it will not be deformed, and the brain is completely fit, which has a comfortable sense of encirclement.
Look at the remaining 2 pictures.
Softness and hardness of pillow core
1/2
3, soft hardness:
There is no doubt that most people like soft high pillows, because their necks are fine and they can sleep at any angle without discomfort.
However, what about people with cervical discomfort? They always say that they like to sleep on hard pillows. Do you know why? Because the neck of patients with cervical spondylosis is often stiff, frankly speaking, if you sleep on a soft pillow, your neck will bend stiffly and resist, and the most direct thing is pain. If you sleep on a hard pillow, your neck seems to be suddenly supported, and honest people will not feel pain all the time. But can this really help you recover?
The answer is no, of course. Cervical spondylosis is the deformation of cervical physiological curve. Straight neck is a problem, and comfort is only temporary. We need a scientific answer.
2/2
Research shows that the best period of sleep in a person's life is infancy, when he is in his mother's arms. We have grown up, mom can hug you, but we can't hold you in our hands. We can know that only skin-friendly materials and skin-friendly feelings can give people the best sleep experience and environment. At present, the thermoplastic polyurethane independently developed by Niofis has met this condition.
The difference between pillowcases
1/3
4, pillowcase:
Pillow case is a relatively unnoticed product, and it is also used for bedding. In the national product classification, pillowcases belong to 24 categories and pillows belong to 20 categories, which are independent of pillows, indicating that they exist independently and deserve our attention.
2/3
Generally, we buy several sets of beds and bring them with us, and seldom pay attention to the material properties of pillowcases. Cotton, polyester, blended fabrics and other materials have their own advantages, and some people like to pad bamboo chips to cool down, but it is really bad for the head!
3/3
Pure cotton:
Sweat absorption, easy cleaning, good price, soft and comfortable.
Polyester fiber:
Durable, wrinkle-resistant, easy to dry and not deformed.
PU waterproof:
Cool, comfortable and warm.
Velvet:
The comfort is the highest, and the price is more expensive and warmer.
The price of pillows
1/2
This may be the most concerned issue for ordinary people, but it is a less concerned issue for people with serious cervical problems and sleep problems.
2/2
① chemical fiber pillows: you can buy them as low as 10 yuan, and the average price is around 30 yuan. Hotels are generally large, soft and simple.
② Down pillows: sales below 100 yuan are relatively high, but the prices of good down pillows are generally above 150 yuan!
③ Buckwheat pillow: the average price is about 50 yuan.
④ Cassia pillow: The average price is about 80, which is similar to buckwheat pillow.
⑤ Latex pillow: You can't buy pure latex pillow imported from Southeast Asia below 400. Please pay attention to this!
⑥ memory cotton Pillow: This high-tech product was born, but it didn't cost too much money. Very intriguing, the average price is about 90. If it's too good, you don't have to pay attention to it. In fact, it's similar.
⑦ Polyurethane: This kind of polyurethane pillow independently developed by Korea is not available in China at present. It's not a slow rebound, nor is it the so-called memory cotton. Only Nifez has it, and the price is around 700.
Matters needing attention
Excellent sleep quality not only makes you energetic the next day, but more importantly, deep sleep can provide a good recovery opportunity for the recovery of your physical function.
