How about a feather pillow

According to personal preference, feather pillows are very soft and comfortable, so many people like them. So it should be decided according to personal preference.

Choose the right pillow:

First, it meets the physiological needs: when lying on your back, the pillow can keep the curvature of the neck, and the edge of the pillow should be kept arc-shaped and not tilted; The height of the pillow should conform to the individual's shoulder width. When lying on your back, the pillow height should be about one punch and two fingers when lying on your side.

Height: Modern research believes that the pillow should be slightly lower than the distance from the shoulder to the ipsilateral neck. The height of the pillow is determined according to the physiological curve of the arrangement of seven cervical vertebrae in the human neck. Only by adapting to this physiological curve can the muscles, ligaments and joints of the shoulder and neck be relaxed. Too high or too low a pillow is not good for human health.

Three lengths and widths: the pillow should be longer, and the length of the pillow should be enough to sleep and turn over the back position. The pillow is not easy to be too wide. If it is too wide, it will exceed the head and neck joints, and the muscles will be nervous easily. 15 ~ 20 cm is appropriate.

Four soft and hard: the pillow should be moderate in soft and hard and slightly elastic. The pillow is too hard, and the relative pressure between the head and neck and the pillow increases, causing head discomfort; If the pillow is too soft, it is difficult to maintain the normal height, so that the head and neck are not supported and tired; If the pillow is too elastic, the head will be constantly affected by the external elasticity, which will easily lead to muscle fatigue and injury.

Judge whether the pillow should be replaced:

1, in the absence of other physical diseases, I often feel numb and sour in my neck after getting up in the morning.

2. The pillow has lost its elasticity, and it takes a while to recover some elasticity.

3. After the pillow is finally adjusted, it will soon be flat.

4. Pillow caking is uneven, and the filler has a damp smell.

How long does it take to change the pillow?

Many people change their pillows only once every four years. In fact, pillows should be changed every 1 ~ 3 years. Because old and dirty pillows are easy to breed mold and mites, causing allergies or respiratory diseases. The pillow you choose should be easy to clean and dry, so that the pillow can be used for a long time and sleep health can be guaranteed.
