What can I do to make this a dream? It is necessary to organize a proper sleeping place. Well, it's impossible to do this without a good pillow.
Its main task is to support the cervical vertebrae in its natural position. In this case, the muscles of the neck and the entire spine can relax, and the blood supply to the brain is carried out in normal mode.
If you have picked up the pillow incorrectly, then you can forget about full rest. In the morning you not only will not feel the tide of strength and energy, but on the contrary, you will feel broken and sluggish already at the very beginning of the day. To prevent this, we advise you to seriously approach the selection of this important subject.
Criteria for choosing a pillow
A type
There are classical and orthopedic pillows. The latter are manufactured taking into account the anatomical structure of the spine. They help not only to relax with comfort, but also provide the most correct position of the neck and spine during sleep. This relaxes the muscles and ligaments, reduces the risk of curvature of the spine, and reduces discomfort and pain in those who already suffer from any orthopedic diseases.
Dimensions
Modern pillows can be square or rectangular. Variations of 70 × 70 cm are less common, they are replaced by models measuring 50 × 70 and 40 × 60 cm. This is due to the fact that the pillow should end where the shoulders begin, i.e. The back should not rest on a pillow - rectangular models in this plan are more convenient than square ones. Also note that the length of the pillow (or several, if two sleep on the bed) should not exceed the width of the mattress.
Height
This characteristic is selected based on several parameters. The wider the shoulders of the sleeper, the higher the pillow is needed for a full sleep. If a person sleeps more often on his side, he needs a higher option than for rest on his back. Also, when choosing, the softness of the mattress is taken into account: the harder it is, the lower the pillow should be. High models are recommended to full people, as well as those who suffer from high blood pressure or snore in sleep.
Rigidity
This indicator also varies and depends on several factors. The softest are pillows of silk and fluff, the most rigid - orthopedic. When choosing the stiffness of the pillow, it is important to consider the pose in which you prefer to sleep: if on your side - choose a hard option, on your stomach - soft. If you usually sleep on your back, a medium-hard pillow will suit you.
Filler
Today, the stores offer a huge selection of pillows with various fillers. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Choose filler based on personal preferences for softness / stiffness and individual characteristics of your body.
- Down and feather. Such pillows are valued for softness and elastic volume, which in turn helps to avoid the occurrence of headaches. However, down pillows need to be cleaned once a year, and after 5 years they should be replaced with new ones.
- Wool and silk. Woolen and silk cushions are very light. They perfectly restore the form and have good antistatic and hypoallergenic qualities. However, such pillows are more expensive than models with any other natural, as well as some synthetic fillers.
- Natural fibers. Today, more and more popular pillows of bamboo and eucalyptus fiber. They have bactericidal properties and are recommended for people with sensitive skin and respiratory diseases. The same category includes pillows made of natural latex.
- Synthetic fibers. This type includes pillows made of polyester (it is also called "holofayber"), sintepona and polyester. They do not let moisture pass, they hold the original shape for a long time, they do not blot out and are hypoallergenic.
- Memory foam. Gradually gaining popularity pillows from such innovative material as foam with memory of the form. It has unique characteristics, for example, immunity to pressure, the ability to adjust to your posture during sleep and properly support the spine. Perhaps the only drawback of pillows from this material is their high cost.
- Taktile. Pillows with this filler of a new generation appeared in the world very recently, in 2012. They were developed under the leadership of the American professor Robert Oksman. The pillows based on the Taktile material combine excellent anatomical properties and an unrivaled level of comfort.
