How thick is the pillow suitable for sleeping?
"Everyone's pillow height is different. Finding a standard height that suits you is actually very simple. " Wei Min, director of orthopedics at Guang 'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, gently held his hand: "Look, that's it. One punch is high. " It turns out that the height of each person's fist is the height of his pillow, which is just in line with the physiological buckling of the human body after leaving the bed. When people stand, the cervical spine has a forward physiological curvature, so if the head is too high or too low after lying flat, it will cause the neck to straighten or invert over time.

If you use a pillow that is not suitable for you, it will cause pressure on the cervical spine. Long-term, it will affect nerves and blood vessels, and it is easy to cause insomnia, and you will feel very tired during the day. When the cervical joint of middle-aged and elderly people degenerates, if the head and neck are improperly positioned, it is easy to oppress or stimulate the cervical nerve root, spinal cord, sympathetic nerve or vertebral artery, and induce cervical diseases.

Director Wei said: The best filler for pillows is buckwheat skin. Buckwheat skin pillow not only has excellent shaping and supporting effect on the head, but also has a cool temperature suitable for all ages.
