What kind of pillow is the best?
When purchasing pillows, pay attention to the shape of the pillow: The problem with the pillow. The cervical vertebra is located at the top of the human spine, wrapped in the neck, and consists of 7 vertebrae. The so-called physiological arc is a round, forward-facing arc formed by these seven vertebrae. The function of the pillow is to maintain this normal physiological curve. How to maintain a normal physiological curve depends on whether you are really clear about the height, softness and hardness of the pillow.
The height and softness of the pillow are the key. According to analysis, when a person lies on his back, the cervical spine is most suitable to bend about 3 cm. A pillow that is too high or too low, too soft or too hard will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also affect the health of physical health, and also cause and aggravate the hidden dangers of cervical spondylosis. A good pillow should be able to support the head and neck at the best angle, with moderate softness and hardness, and can quickly return to its original state after being pressed, and it will not be easy to deform for a long time. In traditional pillows, the head is rested at the highest point of the pillow, and the cervical vertebra is suspended in the air, causing the muscles and ligament joint bundles around the cervical cervical artery to be blocked, and only the neck is stiff and dizzy and fatigue after waking up. According to ergonomics, the shape of the pillow is the most beneficial to cervical spine health. This pillow can use the protruding part in the front to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. Self-examination criteria for changing pillows: In the absence of other physical diseases, you often feel numbness and soreness in your neck after getting up in the morning. This is the wrong shape and arc of the pillow.
It should be noted that the natural pillow core should not be cleaned, it only needs to be cooled and dried every two weeks. 1. Clean the pillow jacket frequently. 2. Expose the pillow to the sun to dry.
How to clean the pillow?
Even if you choose a comfortable pillow that is very suitable for your physical condition and sleeping habits, if you use improper methods during daily washing and maintenance, it will also cause the pillow to deform, making it difficult to sleep comfortably, and greatly shorten the service life of the pillow. Some people will wash their pillowcases regularly but never wash their pillows. Because many people think that pillowcases are enough to protect the pillows, as long as you clean the pillows on time, you can keep the pillow clean and hygienic. In fact, this is not the case. When we sleep, the saliva, secreted sweat, etc. will penetrate into the pillow, breeding bacteria and causing allergies and diseases. Therefore, we must clean the pillow every 2 to 3 months.
Pillow cleaning steps:
1. Use mild washing powder for washing.
2. Put the pillow in the washing powder solution and constantly squeeze the pillow with your hands until it is washed clean. Be sure to squeeze out the excess washing liquid.
3. Pass clean water until the pillow is rinsed, and finally squeeze out the excess water.
4. Lay the pillow flat and dry it, which will make it softer and more fluffy.
Machine-washed pillows should be paid attention to:
1. Use mild detergent for washing.
2. Use a large washing machine to wash two pillows at the same time. If you can only hold one, it is best to add a towel to wash it together to balance the water flow.
3. If dried, the pillow will be easier to restore its original elasticity and will be softer and more fluffy. Natural pillow cores should not be cleaned, they only need to be cooled and dried once every two weeks.
