WHY A PILLOW?
One of the most common theories is that human upright walking causes a lot of pressure on the spine during the day, so at night, it is necessary to lie down to rest the spine and
relieve
this pressure.
The human spine is naturally curved, with a straight line on the front and a curve with 4 physiological curves on the side. If the pillow is not used, the spine can not be reasonably
supported, then the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine and spine can not be maintained, and the pressure of the spine can not be well released. If the spine is kept
in an unnatural state for a long time at night, it is likely to cause problems in various parts of the neck, shoulders, and back.
PILLOW SELECTION
1.The quality of sleep is determined by the sleeping position and the pillow, and the pillow also has a very large connection with the spine
2.The sleeping position can be adjusted by itself, and the right pillow will also have a good auxiliary effect on the sleeping position
HOW TO CHOOSE THE PILLOW HEIGHT?
The pillow is too high and too low or without a pillow, it will make the neck in a state of tension, which is bound to stimulate the cerebral cortex, affecting it to enter the state of sleep
inhibition, but also easy to make the head congested, headache, not conducive to hypertension patients
Modern research believes that: under normal circumstances, adult pillow height of 8~13cm is appropriate
For the pillow itself, the part supporting the back of the neck (neck bend) should be slightly higher, and have a certain hardness, in order to set off and maintain the physiological
curvature of the neck. The part that supports the back of the head should be 3-5cm lower than the above part, so that it can fully support the head and adapt to the height of the
neck.
CLASSIFICATION OF PILLOWS
1.The material of the pillow can largely determine the characteristics of the pillow, according to the pillow material classification
2.Can be divided into fiber pillow, memory cotton pillow, buckwheat pillow, cassia seed pillow, latex pillow, down pillow and so on
FIBER PILLOW
Also called chemical fiber pillow, cheap, its material fluffy, washable, easy to accumulate dust and dust mites. Support and breathability vary significantly depending on the filling
fiber. As a lightweight and inexpensive filling material, polyester is widely used in pillows
The service life of pillows filled with polyester fiber is generally 1 to 3 years, but due to the cheap properties of the product itself, it is recommended to shorten the service life and
replace it as soon as possible. In the process of use, if the product itself is clearly marked, it is recommended to clean it once a half month, or clean it with a vacuum cleaner and
dry it in the sun
BUCKWHEAT PILLOW, CASSIA PILLOW
Both belong to the pillow material, warm in winter and cool in summer, especially suitable for summer use, good permeability, moisture absorption material itself is not elastic, sleep
can be pillow head type, according to this to achieve the purpose of support, sleep hard, and turn over will have a sound, not easy to wash
As a grain pillow, it is more prone to mildew and long worms, and it is not suitable for people with asthma or a history of grain allergy. The service life of buckwheat pillow is generally
not more than 1 year, do not beat the pillow, can not be washed, and often dry in the sun during use to ensure health
Memory cotton pillow
MEMORY COTTON PILLOW
1.The shape of the pillow is mostly ergonomic design, slow rebound, good support, no odor, but breathable. The head will feel slightly warm when it is in contact with the pillow for
a long time. In addition, the pillow core has a life, easy to age yellow, lose the original elasticity, most of them are not convenient to wash
2.Cleaning is a big problem, and you may have to wash your pillowcase more often. Life is half a year to 3 years, in the process of use can be judged according to the slow rebound
speed of the use of the pillow, when the slow rebound effect disappears, you can consider replacing
LATEX PILLOW
1.Latex is a material derived from rubber tree SAP, also known as latex sponge, which is one of the natural sleeping materials. It is also now a relatively fire pillow material, the main
advantage of latex is that it is elastic and easy to recover, and the concave part will quickly spring up when turning over, supporting the neck and shoulder, and has been fitted to
support. So it's great for people with cervical spine problems.
2.Soft and breathable, strong elasticity, anti-mite and antibacterial, the disadvantage is not good cleaning. The price of natural latex material is higher, and there will be a slight fragrance.
For latex pillow rebound strength, some people may not adapt.
3.In addition, the difference between synthetic latex and natural latex is huge, and there are many shovel-filled phenomena in the market, which is more chaotic, and it is difficult for
non-industry insiders to distinguish between true and false. The quality of the brand chosen at the time of purchase will be guaranteed
DOWN AND FEATHER PILLOW
Friends who often stay in high-end hotels should know that high-end hotels basically use down pillows. The down pillow is also favored by the hotel for its own reasons, compared
with other types of pillows, down is delicate and fluffy, high resilience, breathable and not stuffy. In addition, the down pillow can also achieve slow rebound in the case of ensuring
a high degree of fluffiness, and has a strong adaptability, which has an immediate effect on relieving neck pressure
GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE HOTEL BASICALLY USES FEATHER VELVET PILLOWS. HOW TO CHOOSE FEATHER VELVET PILLOWS
The concept of down
1.Down is divided into velvet and fillet, velvet mainly refers to the piece of wool under the belly of the goose, the fillet will have some stalks
2.Down materials on the market are mainly down and goose down, divided into white goose down, white duck down, gray duck down and black duck down four varieties
3.White goose down (WGD) > Grey Goose Down (GGD) > White Duck Down (WDD) > Grey Duck Down (GDD)
WHAT SHOULD WE PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN PURCHASING DOWN?
Goose down is better than duck down, the main difference between geese and ducks is that geese are mainly grass-fed, ducks are omnivores, which causes duck down generally
smell stronger. In addition, the breeding cycle of ducks is much shorter than that of geese. Smaller diamond nodes are distributed on average on the feather branches of geese, while
the diamond nodes on duck feather are larger and concentrated at the end of the small feather branches, so goose down can produce a larger spacing space, better shag and stronger
warmth retention
Be sure to look at the pillow product parameters before buying
1.What is the cashmere content, is 90%-95%, or 50% and below
2.The higher the cashmere content, the better, simply and frankly speaking, the more comfortable, the good down pillow should be more than 90%
3.How much is the pillow filling layer, there are single and three layers, depending on their needs to customize
Single layer is more expensive than three layer, single layer only down + fabric
The three layers generally use down + feather + polyester fiber, there are also polyester fiber + down + polyester fiber, so the cost is much lower than the single layer, so why the same
down pillow, also white goose down, there will be a relatively large price difference, the reason is here
Another thing to note is that down and feathers are two different concepts
Feathers are a light, tough, elastic and water-resistant material that covers the body of ducks and geese and is produced as a result of skin plasticization. Feathers are larger in volume
and smaller in density, and can not shrink and expand like down with temperature changes, resulting in temperature regulation function. Feather shaft, feather root is thicker, the comfort
is also relatively poor
THE CONCEPT OF VOLUME
1.Fluffy is the ability of down to return to its original state after being pressed down, and the better the fluffy, the better the warmth of down products, the higher the corresponding down
quality.
2.There are more gaps between down and down with a high degree of shagginess, and a large number of down filaments are staggered together to lock in the air, and this stationary air
forms a thermal insulator, thus achieving good thermal performance.
3.Middle and low-end down pillows because of velvet quality restrictions, generally in 550+~650+ plenum. The high-end down pillow is often from 800+ or even 900+ pliant start, individual
can even do 1000+ pliant. The higher the volume, the more "light as nothing" the pillow sleeps, and the stronger the wrapping
FABRIC LAYER FOR PILLOWS
The middle is down, the outermost package to use fabric, fabric said more types, the better is cotton, of course, cotton inside is also subdivided into many types, interested partners can
see a fabric I wrote to introduce which three-piece bed set (four-piece set) brand is recommended? Why? I won't repeat it here
The better the down pillow, the higher the number of high-grade cotton, and the less used polyester fiber
