    1.When a person sleeps, the pillow is too soft and it is not good for the body. Everything should have a degree, and it's not good if the pillow is too high.

    2.Because the pillow is too high, the head will be in a forced flexion position, so that the soft tissue behind the neck will be in a state of stretching for a long time, and the days will affect the cervical spine.

    3.Because the high pillow increases the tortuosity of the head and brain, the blood flow to the brain is affected, and the lack of blood supply will cause dizziness and swelling after waking up, which can easily lead to snoring, dry throat, sore throat and other symptoms.

    4.Experts believe that the softness and hardness of the pillow are moderate, that is, the pillow should form a natural saddle shape with a low middle and high ends after people sleep. When lying on your side, the head is pillowed at both ends, and the pillow height is about one and a half fists.

    5.Such a height and shape are comfortable and scientific. You can try the physical gold sleep pillow, the height design is reasonable, the softness and hardness are just right, and it can also promote sleep and care for the cervical spine.

    However, according to a recent medical survey, healthy people change their positions about 20-45 times in 8 hours of sleep, and half of the positions change once in less than 5 minutes, of which 60% are supine, 35% are sideways, and 5% are prone. Therefore, although the height of the pillow that people need often varies from person to person, it is related to each person's fat and thin, the width of the shoulders, and the length of the neck, and there is no certain standard, but the average person sleeps because of the use of the supine posture for more time, it is recommended to use a little more than a fist height, and it is not appropriate to reach the height of one and a half punches. Fit believes that pillows vary from person to person!

    If the pillow is too high, it will increase the pressure on the neck, because the pillow is too high, and the cervical spine will lean forward at this time, destroying the normal physiological anterior curve angle, causing soreness and dizziness in the neck and head. A pillow that is too low will cause insufficient blood supply, leading to cervical spondylosis, and many people fall on their pillow because the pillow is too low.

    Traditional Chinese and Western medicine jointly suggest that the height of the pillow that is more suitable for people to sleep on is 10-15 cm. However, the specific height of the pillow should be considered according to each person's own physiological curvature, which is simply the height of the pillow that can make everyone sleep comfortably.

    Since everyone's habits are different, some friends have unique requirements for the height of the pillow when sleeping. However, there are also many friends who choose to sleep on lumbar pillows for comfortable sleep.
