Which Material Is Better For Cervical Pillow?

Pillows are not used for pillows, but for cervical vertebrae" is absolutely true.
It is true that the neck of the human body seems to be straight when sitting or standing upright from the side, but in fact, the cervical vertebra wrapped inside is not straight, but there is a forward camber in the middle section. In medicine, this forward camber is called the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine when using pillows to avoid the occurrence of cervical curvature straightening or reverse arch disease.
In the face of many pillow types in the market today, latex pillow is a good pillow recommendation for cervical vertebra. It has different advantages in terms of design, material, height, and hardness.
Material: Generally speaking, natural materials are recommended for pillows. After all, whether synthetic materials are harmful to the body needs to be investigated. The latex pillow is made from the juice of rubber tree, which is pure natural and harmless, mild and non-irritating, and has no impact on human body (except for latex allergy); Moreover, because of the characteristics of natural latex itself, the latex pillow has the effect of bacteriostasis and anti-mite, which can prevent some respiratory allergic diseases. At the same time, the latex pillow made by the Delare process will not be added with synthetic glue, and its safety is also guaranteed. It can be used by children, adults and the elderly.
Design: The human cervical spine is curved. The design of the latex pillow is based on ergonomics, that is, it can fit the shoulder and neck curve well, relax the muscles around the cervical spine during sleep, and play a role in alleviating discomfort. Most of the reasons why some people always feel uncomfortable with pillows are that the cervical spine is suspended during sleep, which increases the pressure on the cervical spine and can not relax it. The next day, they will naturally feel lethargic.
Height: The height of the pillow has an important impact on the cervical spine. If it is too high, the normal anterior curvature of the cervical spine cannot be maintained, which will increase the burden on the cervical spine, increase the muscle tension of the back, and may cause symptoms of aggravating cervical spondylosis; However, if it is too low, it will also cause neck and shoulder pain, and may also cause head congestion, causing eyelid and facial edema, easy to open mouth for breathing, and snoring. There are many types of latex pillows with different heights. You can choose the appropriate height according to your sleep habits. Now there are latex particle pillows made by brands that can adjust the height freely, and the convenience is greatly improved. You don't have to worry about too high or too low.
(Ps: Appropriate pillow height: when sleeping on the back, the height of the pillow should be the same as that of the fist, and when sleeping on the side, the height of the pillow should be the same as that of the shoulder width. Of course, it needs to be adjusted according to the physiological characteristics of each person.)
Soft and hard: the right choice is the pillow with moderate soft and hard. If the pillow is too hard, the contact area between the head and the pillow may be too small, and the pressure will increase, which will make the head muscles tense and affect the relaxation of the whole body muscles; If the pillow is too soft, it may be difficult to maintain the height of the pillow, and the contact area between the head and the pillow is too large, causing compression, affecting blood circulation, and the neck will be pulled more straight, causing tension in the throat muscles, which is also easy to aggravate snoring. The density of latex pillows is generally between 40-50D (there is a certain relationship between the hardness and softness of the pillows and the density), which belongs to the category of "soft and not hard". Moreover, the latex pillows have the characteristics of "soft but not collapsed", and are also more hard on the touch, which is also in line with the sleeping habits of Chinese people who like to sleep with slightly hard pillows.
The purpose of using the cervical pillow is to fit the radian of the head and neck, provide proper support for the head and neck, and relax the neck. Although some pillows made of other materials may also play these roles, at present, latex pillows are really good cervical pillows, which can be used by children with cervical problems (serious cervical problems, medical advice is recommended).
