In the morning, your neck is aching, it's hard to get up, do you not feel like you've slept? Take a look at your pillow. It may be time to replace it.
The need to use the pillow during sleep and rest is due to the physiological features of the body structure. The line of the spine should remain straight in any sleep position.
Another unpleasant "bonus" from using the "wrong" sleeping accessory is morning headache and vulnerable.
Sleeping space has a direct impact on the blood supply to tissues and organs during sleep. Cervical vessels and arteries must not be allowed to bend.
The modern sleep accessory market offers an abundance of products in various sizes, shapes and rigidity. How do you know which pillow is better?
It must be remembered that sleep aids are individually selected.
Do not buy all family members the same pillows. Children, older people and teenagers need different degrees of head support while sleeping.
Try to take a critical look at the cushion on which you are sleeping now. Does it fit in size, height, shape and material? If you take these parameters into account when choosing a pillow, you will find the one with which sleep will turn into a comfortable rest.
Is size important?
The standard pillow sizes are 50x70 cm and 70x70 cm. There are other options:
40х40 cm;
40х60 cm;
50х50 cm;
60х60 cm.
Under these parameters, manufacturers sew bed linen. On sale you can find accessories with other sizes, in the form of a square, rectangle, roller, "butterfly".
At the Come-For pillow online shop you can order a pillow with individual parameters, select the material and filler.
There are varieties with notches under the head. Do you like to sleep on back? Choose products with two height levels. If you are used to falling asleep on your stomach, a classic square or rectangular shape is more comfortable.
How to choose a pillow by height?
The height directly depends on who will sleep. Paediatricians recommend that children under 3 years of age should buy flat pillows with special head recesses.
For adolescents and adults, the model is chosen based on the length of the shoulder:
low - height not exceeding 10-12.5 cm;
average - 10-12 cm;
high - from 12 cm.
People with large bodies are more comfortable sleeping on high pillows. Such products support the neck spine well and give muscles relaxation.
High-tech accessories recommend those who suffer from hypertension and snore in their sleep. Low ones are chosen by those who sleep on the stomach.
You also need to consider which mattress is at your bedside. The soft surface will be complemented organically by a low pillow. But for a hard mattress, take a look at the medium height accessory with elastic filler and orthopaedic effect.
The main purpose of the pillow is to support the neck and head. The choice of this accessory must be based on its ability to adapt to a specific person.
Variants with orthopaedic effect have the ability to give comfort and relaxation during sleep and support the muscles of the neck spine in an anatomically correct position. Sometimes these products are recommended by orthopaedists for therapeutic or preventive purposes.
The main difference between an orthopaedic pillow and an ordinary pillow is the filling with special properties.
An orthopaedic effect is required if you:
suffer from osteochondrosis;
often suffer from headaches;
have circulatory disorders.
In such cases, it is necessary to consult with a specialist who will tell you which are the best pillows for the spine, neck and head, and will help to correctly determine the appropriate model.
Sleeping accessories with anatomical effect - a rescue for those who have to sit at the computer all day long, drive a car, do sitting work. An uncomfortable posture has a negative impact on their well-being: their neck leaks, their blood circulation gets worse and migraines begin to occur.
A cushion with anatomical effect perfectly relieves tension in the neck and shoulder joints. The body fully recovers from sleep.
Models with anatomical effect differ by:
Form - rollers, semi-rollers, wave-shaped varieties, classic rectangles.
Filler - polyurethane foam, latex, hollofiber, memory.
Ability to "memorise" the position of the body - the filler "takes" the body print and adapts to the shape of the head.
Material and type of cover – it’s better to choose models where the top cover can be removed for washing.
There are no universal recommendations for choosing accessories for sleep. Everyone has their own combination, height, weight and habits.
Fall asleep comfortably on your back? Look for a low, medium stiff cushion. A rectangular orthopaedic model with a recess in the central part for the head is the best option.
Do you like the posture on your side? You have to look for a stiff product that is the same height as the shoulder. Is your favourite position lying on your stomach? Then you need the height of which is no more than 8-10 cm.
The stiffness of the pillow is selected according to individual needs. Here too, the posture during sleep is crucial. Sleep on your back or stomach - you need a soft or medium stiff pillow, on your side - look for a stiff model.
For those who spin a lot, you need memory cushions.
The filler plays a key role. The wide range of materials used in the manufacture of products for sleep can confuse anyone. So how do you choose a sleeping pillow?
Polyurethane foam - orthofoam
Vertebrologists and orthopaedists recommend sleeping on surfaces filled with orthofoam to prevent and treat problems in the cervical spine. Artificial material (polyurethane foam) has unique qualities: it finely responds to load and temperature changes, adapting to the body. The material is hypoallergenic and safe for health.
Latex
Latex is an elastic natural material with a pleasant elastic structure, used in the manufacture of premium segment products. Products with this filler have a good orthopaedic effect and ensure air circulation, which prevents temperature and humidity from rising during sleep.
Memory
Memory is a filler that reacts to changes in temperature and body position. It is a viscous foam. It perfectly replicates the contours of the shoulders, head and neck, resulting in an anatomical effect. Choose this pillow - it's a pleasure to fall asleep on it.
Memory Gel
Memory Gel is an innovative material that combines the best qualities of Visco Memory and TechnoGel. Thanks to this filler, the pillow perfectly follows the contours of the body, distributes pressure evenly and ensures thermal regulation.
Swansdown
Products filled with swansdown are an ideal choice for those who suffer from excessive sweating during their sleep. Such a pillow gives a feeling of coolness in summer and a warming effect in winter.
Hollofiber (Silicon)
Hollofiber is a modern hypoallergenic material. A cushion with this filler will suit people with allergies. The product is inert with fungus, mites and other pathogens.
Silicone cushions have excellent performance features. At the same time, they have a low price. Products with this filler will suit those who like to sleep on high pillows. They do not absorb odours, moisture and keep well in shape.
