How to choose a neck pillow? Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the health of the neck. Many people will choose a neck pillow when they sleep, but there are all kinds of neck pillows on the market, and there are many kinds of neck pillows for people to choose from. So how to choose a neck pillow?

How to choose a neck pillow? 1 classification of neck pillow

At present, there are many kinds of pillows on the market, which can be roughly divided into five categories: U-shaped neck pillow, rectangular neck pillow, square neck pillow, candy neck pillow and bone neck pillow.

How to choose a neck pillow

1, the neck pillow is designed according to ergonomics and the principle of human magnetic field. Generally, pillows made of slow rebound materials are used, and the slow rebound time is 3-5 seconds, which can make the frequently used neck pillows form the inherent shape of the head and neck, so that the neck and shoulder muscles can be relaxed without oppression.

2. The pillow core should have a soft feel and good elasticity, breathability, moisture resistance and hygroscopicity. The nature of the neck pillow material determines its hardness, and the hardness of the pillow should be moderate. Natural pillows, such as buckwheat husk, chaff and cattail stick pillows, are better choices. High-quality neck pillow has the ability of self-plasticity, which can fix the head and neck, fill the shoulder gap, conform to the human body curve, reduce the stiff neck to make the cervical vertebra in a relaxed natural state, reduce the influence of cervical spondylosis or prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, and make sleep more relaxed and comfortable.

3. Generally speaking, the height of the pillow is 10- 15 cm, and the specific size depends on the physiological radian of each person. The length of the pillow is usually wider than the shoulder. Don't sleep with a pillow that is too small. If the pillow is too small, you can't support your neck when you turn over. In addition, too small a pillow will affect the sense of security when sleeping.

4. Go to a regular merchant to buy, so as to better ensure that the quality of the goods we buy reaches the standard and the after-sales service is guaranteed.

How to choose a neck pillow 2 What neck pillow is good?

Choose the right pillow shape

If you want to choose a right neck pillow that can protect the cervical spine, be comfortable and make people sleep well, the pillow type of the neck pillow is the most important thing for your inspection. So, what kind of pillow shape is good? In my opinion, a good pillow neck pillow needs to meet three aspects, namely, "the length is over the shoulder", "concave design" and "reasonable partition".

Over-the-shoulder length:

Let's talk about the length of the neck pillow first. As we all know, when we are sleeping, we can't keep a posture until dawn. I often switch back and forth between sleeping on my back and sleeping on my left and right sides, so I suggest that when choosing a neck pillow, I must choose one that is over my shoulders. This shoulder-length neck pillow can not only prevent stiff neck, but also create a sense of security during sleep.

Concave design:

Let's talk about concave design first. The pillow shape of the neck pillow should have a concave design, that is, when looking at the plane of the pillow from the side, the pillow should be concave, and the part of the pillow used to support the neck should be concave. The advantage of this design is that people can find their own position when lying down, so that the cervical vertebra can be "grounded" and it is not easy to get stiff neck without support.

Reasonable zoning:

Let me talk about the division of the neck pillow. Qualified neck pillow, its partition must be reasonable. It will have a special area to support the neck and a special side lying area. This kind of neck pillow can make you sleep comfortably in any sleeping position.

When you sleep from the back to the side, it can make your head and neck automatically fall to the left or right sleeping area, and when you sleep from the side to the back, it can also make your head and neck automatically fall to the back sleeping area. In short, it can always support your cervical spine.

Buying skills:

To sum up, buying a neck pillow depends on the shape of the pillow first. First of all, it depends on whether the length of the pillow exceeds the shoulder. Then you need to see if the pillow is concave, and then you need to see if the pillow has a reasonable partition.

Choose the right filling machine

After choosing the shape of the pillow, we have to choose the filler of the pillow again. Because the filler of the neck pillow also affects the neck protection effect and comfort of the pillow. The common fillers of neck pillow are latex, memory cotton, plants and down. So, which kind of stuffed neck pillow is better?

Latex:

Latex bedding can be said to be the sales star in recent years. This is mainly because of the characteristics of latex. Latex is made from the juice of rubber tree, and its content is generally 80%-93%, which makes it have many advantages such as good resilience, strong support and certain physical therapy effect.

The pores on the latex surface can not only prevent mites and bacteria, but also evacuate the moisture generated during sleep, so that you can have a comfortable and dry sleep experience.

Memory cotton:

The filler I'm going to talk about next is memory cotton. You can also call it space cotton. Its toughness is also excellent, and it also has a certain memory effect. It can automatically deform when the position of your head and neck changes, closely fit your neck, give you perfect support and protect your cervical vertebra.

Plants:

The filler of plant neck pillow is generally buckwheat, cassia seed and other plants or plant shells. These plant fillers are not only natural and environmentally friendly, but also have the effects of calming the nerves and promoting sleep and health care.

Down:

Down pillows are usually filled with goose down or duck down. Soft and light is the characteristic of this neck pillow. It has good warmth retention and resilience, and has strong moisture absorption and perspiration performance. Generally speaking, the down neck pillow is very comfortable. However, if the quality of down pillows is not good enough, the supporting force is often not enough to protect the neck.

Buying skills:

To sum up, I still suggest that you choose latex neck pillow, memory cotton neck pillow or plant neck pillow with moderate hardness and good neck protection effect. Down pillows are often too soft, which is not good for cervical vertebrae and sleep.

Choose the right height

After the pillow shape and filler are selected, the height of the pillow should be selected. Experts suggest that the reasonable height of the neck pillow should be in the range of 10~ 15cm, neither too high nor too low, and the specific height should be determined according to the physiological curvature of the cervical spine and sleeping habits.

If the height of the pillow is too high, exceeding 15cm, then people will bend their necks forward when sleeping on their backs, which is similar to playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, which will compress the nerves and vertebral arteries. In the long run, it will inevitably lead to restless sleep and problems with the cervical spine.

If the pillow is too low, less than 10cm, the cervical spine will not be well supported and the neck and shoulders will not be naturally relaxed. The muscles of the neck will tighten, resulting in uneven blood supply, congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, which makes people breathe slowly and even feel suffocated.

So the height of the pillow should be in the range of 10~ 15cm. If you are used to sleeping on your side, the height of the pillow should be between 13~ 15cm. If you are used to sleeping on your back, the height of the pillow should be between 10~ 12cm. In addition, if the physiological curvature of your cervical spine is relatively curved, you should choose a higher pillow. If it is not particularly curved, you should choose a lower one.
