A good pillow can ensure high-quality sleep and also protect the cervical vertebra. How to choose?
Pillow height
For healthy sleep, it is advisable to keep the head and torso level when lying on the back, put the pillow under the neck, and keep the head slightly tilted back; When lying on the side, the pillow should be the same height as the shoulder, which can make the neck and shoulder muscles form a relaxed state.
The height of the pillow should be determined according to the individual's physiological radian, sleep posture and age. The pillow height of 3-6 years old is 3-6 cm, 7-10 cm for 7-11 years old, 9-12 cm for 14-15 years old, and 12-15 cm for adults. The length of the pillow should be 10~16cm longer than your shoulder width.
Pillow shape
The ideal pillow shape is low in the middle, high in the periphery or high in the front and low in the back, which can maintain the normal physiological curve of the cervical vertebra and play a role in relaxing, recuperating and protecting the cervical vertebra.
Pillow hardness
The pillow core is comfortable. Excellent pillow, small contact area with head, increased pressure, and uncomfortable scalp; The pillow is too soft to maintain a certain height, and the neck muscles are prone to fatigue, which is not conducive to sleep. Pillows should be slightly soft without losing certain hardness.
If the pillow is too elastic, the head may be subject to additional elastic effects, resulting in muscle fatigue and injury. Buckwheat skin pillow core is good, easy to adjust height and moderate elasticity.
