How to choose a pillow

Pillows are a necessity in our daily life. It is very important to choose a pillow that suits you. But now many people don’t know what kind of pillow is suitable for them. Some people like to use very high pillows when sleeping, while others like very low ones. You should know that pillows that are too high or too low are unscientific and not good for our cervical spine. It will make the body very uncomfortable over time. So how to choose a pillow?

There are many kinds of pillows on the market, including buckwheat and sponge, but many people do not know how to choose a pillow that suits them and just buy them randomly. So how to choose a pillow is also a very scientific thing. Let’s take a look at the basis and method of pillow selection.

1. How to choose a pillow that suits you?

It mainly depends on your sleeping position, height and the pillow you choose.

Favorite sleeping position

Sleeping position is the first consideration when choosing a pillow.

Side sleepers: Use a high pillow to keep your spine straight, allowing you to fully relax and sleep better;

Lying on your back: A medium-height pillow provides the most support for your head and neck, allowing your whole body to relax;

Stomach Sleeper: Choose a low pillow to minimize muscle tension and pressure on the neck.

Height of pillow

The length of a regular adult pillow is 60-70cm and the width is 35-43cm.

Some studies have shown that: side-lying head pillow: 6 +- 1CM; supine neck pillow: 11 +- 1CM; side-lying face pillow: 13 +- 1CM;

Determine the softness of the pillow according to your height and weight

2. Anti-mite and anti-bacterial, choose latex pillow

Latex pillows are made of natural imported latex. Natural latex has a light milky scent, is highly elastic, and is relatively softer than memory foam.

Latex Value

The latex pillow has passed the European standard SGS testing and certification, is anti-mite, antibacterial and mildew-proof, and is suitable for people with asthma and allergies. Without being exposed to the sun, the latex material can be used for 5-14 years without deformation and can provide more appropriate support for the cervical spine.

Latex Advantages

1. Anti-mite and antibacterial, natural and environmentally friendly.

2. Ultra-high elasticity, breathable and anti-bacteria, corrects head shape, durable, ultra-quiet, and no static electricity.

3. Breathable and non-absorbent: There are 250,000 air holes per cubic meter. It does not absorb water. Saliva will evaporate when it stays on the surface and will not breed bacteria.

4. Natural and environmentally friendly: natural latex, no static electricity, feels like skin. The only small disadvantage of natural latex products is that they cannot be exposed to the sun. Ultraviolet rays will turn the latex material into powder. After decades of use, it can decompose by itself and return to nature, without any environmental pollution.

5. Strong support: no deformation after 5-14 years of use, strong support;

6. Contains no toxic substances: As an advanced material in medical science, latex is harmless to the human body. It does not contain any toxic elements and will not produce any toxic substances even in the case of overheating or combustion.

Latex Technology

The regular density of latex is 45D. According to customer demand, we have also launched extra soft and extra hard pillows. The density of extra soft ones is 38-40D, and the density of extra hard ones is above 50D.

Maintenance and cleaning

Pillowcase: Do not bleach with chlorine, do not tumble dry, iron at medium temperature, do not dry clean. Pillow core: Do not bleach with chlorine, do not machine wash, dry in the shade, do not dry clean, wash in cold water.

Note: It is recommended that latex pillow cores do not need to be washed and should not be exposed to the sun.

We need to know more about how to choose a pillow. A pillow that is too high or too low is not good for the cervical spine. The incidence of cervical spondylosis is also very high. Many times it is due to the unreasonable use of pillows, but many people do not realize this. I hope everyone will pay more attention to the issue of pillow selection.
