Because choosing a pillow that conforms to human mechanics design is not only beneficial to the cervical spine, but also beneficial to the physiological bending of the whole spine and paravertebral muscles. The source of all diseases starts from the spine, and the spine can remain healthy forever. The function of the pillow is to ensure that the physiological curvature of the human neck does not deform during sleep. Improper pillow selection directly affects people's sleep. Pillows are actually used to pillow the neck. Normal people should put their heads and necks on pillows when they sleep. Friends with lumbar problems can avoid pillows or pillows with lower height, which can reduce waist fatigue.

First, the role of the pillow:

In order to buffer and reduce the vibration when walking and jumping, and protect the brain, the seven vertebrae of human cervical vertebra are not just vertically superimposed, but form a smooth and forward arc, which is called physiological curvature of cervical vertebra. The function of the pillow is to maintain this physiological curvature. How to maintain a normal physiological curvature depends on whether you are really clear about the height, hardness and size of the pillow.

Second, the height of the pillow:

The function of the pillow is to keep the balance between the head and the lumbar spine, so as not to oppress the cervical spine; When sleeping on your back, the height of the pillow is 5 to 8 cm. When sleeping on the side, according to the shoulder width of each person, the height of the female pillow is 7 ~ 12cm, and the height of the male pillow is 1 1 ~ 14cm. Proper pillow height can make the cervical vertebra not uncomfortable because of poor height during sleep, but not everyone will keep the same sleeping position during sleep, and often lie on their back and side alternately. So when choosing a pillow, the height of the pillow is 8 to 10 cm, and the male pillow can be increased by 2 cm.

Third, the choice of pillows:

People spend13 of their life in sleep, and pillows can be said to be the longest companionship. Choosing an ergonomically designed pillow can not only ensure high-quality sleep, but also affect two-thirds of life's work, study and life quality.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, insomnia accounts for more than 35% of the total population in China. 60% of traffic accidents are caused by drivers sleeping less than 3.5 hours. The so-called "sit back and relax" argument is actually not scientific. The pillow is too high, no matter what position you sleep in, you can't keep the normal lordosis of the cervical vertebra, which will increase the burden of the cervical vertebra. If you have neurasthenia symptoms such as neck pain, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, or feel numb after sleeping in the middle of the night, it may be that the pillow is too high; If the pillow is too low, the head will be congested, leading to edema of eyelids and face, chin lifting up, and it is easy to open your mouth and breathe and snore. Too low pillow, no pillow or too soft pillow can also cause neck and shoulder pain. Experts believe that whether sleeping on your back or on your side, it is best to choose a pillow that can keep the normal physiological curvature of your neck.

Fourth, the variety of pillows:

1, buckwheat pillow-everything happens for a reason.

This 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 its shape with the head moving left and right, making it very comfortable to sleep. The cleaning method is to expose to the sun regularly.

2, chemical fiber pillow-cheap but not practical

This is an ordinary man-made fiber pillow. Because the permeability of chemical fiber material is not very good, it is easy to deform into blocks after being used for a long time, lacking elasticity and the pillow is uneven. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not choose this cheap but impractical pillow when purchasing pillows.

3, latex pillow-in addition to the good price.

Latex has good elasticity, difficult deformation and strong 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 an ideal pillow, but it is also more expensive.

4, down pillow-easy to use but not convenient to clean.

A good down pillow should choose larger down, which is fluffy and 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 pillows are very good, but they can't be washed.
