The main purpose is to ensure the normal physiological anterior arch of the cervical spine.

When lying on the side, that is, when lying on the side, the height of this pillow is more critical, and the distance from the outer edge of the ear to the shoulder is consistent with the height of the pillow, generally about 8-10cm.

To stay away from cervical spondylosis, we need to decompress the shoulder and neck from time to time, let the neck relax and relieve shoulder and neck stiffness, and at the same time improve the quality of sleep.
