The performance of a health pillow usually has the following specific requirements:
1. Comfort
Moderate softness: It should not be too hard, causing a sense of oppression on the head and neck; nor too soft, losing effective support for the head and neck. For example, a health pillow made of materials such as memory foam can be adjusted according to the weight and temperature of the human body to provide comfortable support.
Appropriate height: The appropriate height should be provided according to different sleeping postures and personal physical characteristics. Generally speaking, when lying on your back, the pillow height is about the height of a fist; when lying on your side, the pillow height should be equivalent to the width of one shoulder. This can maintain the natural physiological curvature of the cervical spine and reduce fatigue of the neck muscles.
Good breathability: It can allow air to circulate freely to prevent the head and neck from overheating and sweating during sleep. For example, a health pillow made of natural fiber materials such as cotton, linen or bamboo fiber has good breathability and can keep the head and neck dry and comfortable.
2. Support
Support for the cervical spine: It can effectively support the cervical spine and maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine. The shape and design of the health pillow should conform to the principles of ergonomics, and be able to provide stable support for the cervical spine during sleep and reduce the pressure on the cervical spine. For example, some health pillows adopt a wavy design, which is low in the middle and high on both sides, which can meet the support needs of the cervical spine in different sleeping positions.
Support for the head: It can evenly disperse the weight of the head and avoid excessive local pressure. The material and structure of the health pillow should be able to adapt to the shape of the head, provide comfortable support, and reduce the shaking of the head during sleep.
3. Safety
Material safety and non-toxicity: The materials used in the health pillow should comply with relevant national safety standards, be non-toxic, odorless, and non-irritating. For example, choose environmentally friendly materials that have been strictly tested and certified, and avoid using materials containing harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, etc.
Stable and reliable structure: The structure of the health pillow should be firm and stable, not easy to deform, break or damage. During use, it should be able to withstand a certain amount of pressure and weight to ensure the safety of the user.
4. Functionality
Relieve fatigue: It can help relieve fatigue in the head and neck and promote the improvement of sleep quality. For example, some health pillows use massage functions, which can massage the head and neck through built-in massage devices or special materials to relax muscles and relieve fatigue.
Improve sleep: It has a certain sleep-aiding effect, which can help users fall asleep faster and prolong deep sleep time. For example, some health pillows use natural materials such as lavender that have sleep-aiding effects, and the fragrance emitted can help users relax and improve sleep quality.
Prevent disease: It can prevent and assist in the treatment of some cervical diseases. For example, for patients with cervical spondylosis, choosing a health pillow with a specific shape and support can relieve cervical pain and promote cervical recovery.
5. Durability
Durable material: The material of the health pillow should have good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, and can maintain good performance during long-term use. For example, choose high-quality memory foam, latex and other materials with a long service life.
Easy to clean: The health pillow should be easy to clean and maintain to keep it hygienic. For example, the cover of some health pillows can be disassembled and washed, which is convenient for users to keep the pillow clean.
