Which pillow is better for poor sleep?

Good sleep quality is the basis for ensuring good health, but many factors will affect the quality of sleep, so you also need to pay attention to choosing suitable bedding, such as pillows. Cassia seed or buckwheat pillows are more appropriate.

①Synthetic fiber pillow

Synthetic fiber pillows are the cheapest of all pillows, but they will deform and clump after long-term use, and the synthetic fiber itself will generate static electricity due to friction. Static electricity is not good for the scalp and hair. There are very few of them on the market, so we can ignore them, but if you or your family are still using them, it is recommended to discard them and replace them.

② Down pillow

Down has excellent softness, heat preservation and elasticity. It is not only light and close-fitting, but also has rich moisture absorption and release properties, so you won’t feel stuffy when using it. A good down pillow has good fluffiness and will not deform due to long-term use. It is light, breathable and not stuffy. But it is not easy to clean, and more importantly, many people are allergic to down.

③Buckwheat pillow

Buckwheat husks are used as pillow cores and have been a traditional folk method since ancient times. The pillow core is filled with economical and affordable buckwheat husks, mung bean husks, millet, silkworm feces, etc. It is light in weight and has a tough and non-breakable diamond structure. As a pillow core, it can change shape as the head moves. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire. But the disadvantage is that it cannot be washed, and it is best to dry it in the sun regularly.

④Cassia seed pillow

Put raw cassia seeds in a cloth bag to make a pillow. Cassia seed is slightly cold in nature, with a slight scent of grass. When you use it as a pillow to sleep and smell the scent, it feels like sleeping in green grass. Its seeds are hard and can be used to massage the acupuncture points on the head and neck, so they have an auxiliary effect on headaches, dizziness, insomnia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cervical spondylosis, etc. caused by hyperactivity of liver yang (also cannot be considered).
