Types of pillows

Everyone needs a pillow when they sleep at night. Pillows can promote blood circulation in the human body and ensure that blood flows smoothly during sleep. There are many types of pillows, and pillows are divided into different types according to what is filled inside them. Some pillows are not only very comfortable to use, but also have certain medicinal effects. Using them frequently can also improve your sleep quality. So, what are the types of pillows?

1. Buckwheat pillow: There is a reason for its existence

It is a pillow made of natural materials. There is always a reason why traditional things are passed down. Buckwheat has a tough and non-breakable diamond-shaped structure, and the buckwheat husk pillow can change shape as the head moves left and right, making it very comfortable to sleep on. The way to clean it is to expose it to sunlight regularly.

2. Synthetic fiber pillow: cheap but not practical

This is a pillow made of ordinary man-made fibers. Since chemical fibers are not very breathable, they are prone to deformation and clumps after long-term use. They lack elasticity, and the pillow appears uneven. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not choose such cheap but impractical pillows when purchasing pillows.

3. Latex pillow: good in all aspects except price

Latex has good elasticity, is not easy to deform, and has strong supporting power. It is said that latex can change the head shape of children whose bones are developing, and it does not contain allergens such as dust and fiber that may cause respiratory allergies. Some latex pillows also have the effects of massaging and promoting blood circulation. Latex pillows are ideal pillows, but they are also more expensive.

4. Down pillow: easy to use but inconvenient to clean

A good down pillow should use larger down, which has better fluffiness, can provide better support for the head, and will not deform due to long-term use. Moreover, down has the advantages of being light, breathable and not stuffy. Down pillows are made of premium material, but they cannot be washed.

5. Health pillow: How effective is it? Listen to yourself

A general health pillow is made of traditional Chinese medicinal materials combined with grass, which can calm your mind, strengthen your brain, cool your eyes, prevent diseases and strengthen your body while you sleep unconsciously. But whether the health pillow is really effective depends on your own feelings.
