A pillow is an indispensable bedding that provides a good sleep and a good rest. It serves as the optimal support for the neck, supporting the head and spine. It can also provide comfortable seating and decorative goals. Today's manufacturers produce not only familiar to all models, but also orthopedic pillows. Reviews about them can not be compared with their predecessors - feather, foam or down counterparts. Today they are made from various materials and various modern fillers. In addition to healthy sleep, they can relieve pain, and their anatomical design will ensure the correct position of the neck and head. Indeed, the anatomy of the human body is such that for a comfortable sleep in a supine position, the head should have slightly raised support, but so that at this time the spine does not bend.
Before choosing an orthopedic pillow, you need to know that a good modification supports not only the head and cervical spine, but also helps to relax the entire upper part of the body. You need to know the width of the shoulders, the most favorite position in which a person sleeps, how soft the material was used for manufacturing. In order to choose correctly, there are some simple rules that will help you.
So, you need orthopedic pillows, how to choose:
- if you have wide shoulders, you will need a higher model for a good rest and sleep;
- if a person prefers sleep on his back, in this case a lower option is needed than for a side position;
- if you purchased a soft mattress, then buy a pillow lower than for harder surfaces.
There are a few more points on how to choose an orthopedic pillow:
- if you constantly place your hand under your head or under a pillow, then you have a very low model, you may not have enough volume;
- a feeling of inconvenience may occur when too high;
- if your neck bothers you in the morning, it hurts, and your shoulders are like wooden, then in this case you have a too low pillow with a very hard mattress.
The difference between pillows comes down to their size, shape, materials, height, length and width, and, of course, cost. Orthopedic pillows: how to choose them all the same, focusing on these parameters. When choosing the length and latitude, we choose what we like at our discretion. The only moment is that the width should not exceed the mattress, then orthopedic pillows will give you pleasure. Doctors' reviews agree that this may not be very convenient, but it is an exceptionally correct form. They recommend one or two half-brooms under the neck. There are such options in various combinations, in the form of recesses under the head, etc. They are made of natural latex - foamed rubber. It is a soft, rubbery and resilient material.
If we talk about such a product as orthopedic pillows, reviews about them are positive in almost 100% of cases. The reference material for their manufacture is Tempur. Due to its low density, it is also the most durable. It reacts to heat and pressure. When pressed, it is not pushed, but smoothly and slowly adapts to the configuration, it has a "memory effect". The next time you lie on the pillow, the fibers will take on the same shape that the head created. They can be soft and hard. The basis is synthetic foam - polyurethane and Memorilatex Technogel, Memorix. Be sure to remember that these pillows cannot be washed. Water will destroy the structure and the “memory effect” will disappear.
If you are going to purchase orthopedic pillows, customer reviews are the best proof of their quality. Excellent reviews were received by manufacturers Dormeo, Extrapur, the Vefer series (with natural additives) and many others offered on the Russian market. All of them are characterized by increased comfort, high-quality filling and the most convenient forms.
