To protect the cervical spine, you should use a natural latex pillow, preferably with 100% natural latex, but see if you can distinguish between artificial latex and natural latex!

In addition, natural latex also has good air permeability, anti-mite, sweat absorption and anti-snoring.

Let me share my experience: let you know the difference between natural latex and artificial latex:

1. It looks: the irregular round holes are natural latex. The round holes are man-made synthetic latex.

2. Smell: Natural latex will emit a faint rubber smell, like baby pacifiers, medical gloves like the same taste, non-toxic and harmless. Artificial synthetic latex will have a variety of flavors, bamboo charcoal, milky, chocolate, lavender and other artificial flavors.

3. Touch: Comfortable feel, natural latex has sticky-astringent-wet.

4. Test method: natural latex will be quickly pressed down by hand, good support plays a role in fitting and protecting the cervical and lumbar spine, and the rebound is super strong and will not be dragged off.

The cervical spine is pressed against the cylindrical surface of the heel near the shoulder. The head is pillowed on a square pillow at the back, which can pull and stretch the deformed cervical spine on the one hand, and prevent secondary injury to the cervical spine caused by the natural gravity of the head on the other hand.

Maintenance: The pillowcase is washable, but the pillow core is not washable. Get sun exposure at least once a month.

Precautions for use.

1. Before resting or going to bed, put the cervical pillow on the neck or at the back of the neck close to the shoulder.

2. The position of the cervical pillow should be placed in the position of the posterior root of the neck for the first 1-10 days, and the position of the posterior root of the neck is the most conducive to adaptation, and then it can be used according to the most comfortable feeling of the pad.

3. A few days before use, if there is unaccustomed and uncomfortable, you can appropriately reduce the use time, you can adapt to the back of the neck before falling asleep and rest time, do not need to use the pad all night, and so on, you can use more time, and the specific pad time should be within your own acceptance.

How to use cervical pillow correctly?

First of all, choose a pillow for cervical spondylosis, and the correct way depends on the height and shape of the pillow.

1. Height. When the human body is lying on its back, that is, in a flat lying form, the position of the pillow and the back of the human neck should have a certain protrusion, and the height of the protrusion is generally 5-10 out. 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.

The cervical pillow should be maintained in the above two position ranges, so that the cervical spine can be protected.

Second, the shape. According to the ergonomic design and disc wing design, the shape of the cervical pillow can not only effectively protect the normal physiological state of the cervical spine, but also effectively reduce the stiffness and injury of the cervical spine.

The choice of cervical pillow should be in line with the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, because the cervical spine has a certain physiological curvature, showing a "C" shape that protrudes forward, and can also effectively protect the physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

The place where the cervical pillow is placed should be behind the neck, and the advantage of placing the pillow behind the neck is to hold up the muscles and spine at the back of the neck; On the one hand, it can play a role in relieving neck muscle spasm, and on the other hand, it can change the instability of the cervical spine sequence and restore the physiological anterior arch of the cervical spine. The height of the cervical pillow is about 5-10 cm, and the patient feels comfortable whether he is lying on his back or on his side. The material of the pillow is soft and has some elasticity, and it is best.

First, match the body type, two, whether the neck should be cushioned, three, match the strength of one, match the body type, the pillow needs to match the shape and height of the variety, everyone is tall, short, fat and thin, tall and hunchback, the side sleeping posture is different, the mattress is soft and hard, with the same pillow can not match, at least need a variety of sizes, or can be adjusted.

Second, match the strength, healthy people, as long as the pillow matches the body type, only the head cushion is OK; People with cervical spine problems, generally the cervical spine should also be cushioned, and the cervical spine needs some cushioning strength, or even all the strength is placed on the cervical spine, only the occipital cervical spine; Nowadays, cervical spine problems are becoming more and more common, and the cervical spine is more tired and accumulates more pressure in life and work, so it is necessary to release it when sleeping every day, so most people now recommend that the neck be properly cushioned, such as an ergonomic contour pillow, or an adjustable Ruyi neck protector.

Third, the matching strength, each person's muscle firmness, endurance degree, and cervical spine straightening degree are different, so it is necessary to match the appropriate strength, the pillow core must have a certain degree of softness and hardness, such as memory foam There are also several kinds of softness and hardness, which need to be tried and experienced overnight to find the most suitable one.
