The height of the pillow directly affects the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and being too high or too low can increase the burden on the cervical spine.
Height: Matching sleeping position is key
The height of the pillow directly affects the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and being too high or too low can increase the burden on the cervical spine.
Lying supine sleeping position: The pillow height should be 5-8cm, which can just support the curve of the neck. When lying supine, the back of the head and the back should be at the same horizontal line, and the hand should be inserted into the gap between the neck and the pillow, just enough to accommodate one finger gap.
Side lying sleeping position: The height of the pillow is equal to the width of one shoulder (about 8-12cm), ensuring that the spine remains straight and there is no cervical scoliosis when lying on the side.
Prone sleeping position: It is recommended to choose an ultra-thin pillow (2-3cm) or not use a pillow to avoid lifting the head, compressing the cervical spine, and breathing.
Tip: For people who like to sleep on a hard bed, the pillow can be slightly higher; People who sleep on soft beds should have their pillows slightly lower.
Hardness: Moderate softness and hardness for better neck protection
Hard pillow: Strong support, suitable for people with cervical discomfort and a preference for lying on their back, but it can compress the scalp and affect blood circulation if it is too hard.
Soft pillow: high fit, suitable for people sleeping on their side, but too soft can easily collapse and cannot support the neck. Long term use can easily cause cervical fatigue.
Ideal hardness: When pressing the pillow, you can feel a significant support force, and quickly rebound after releasing it without any obvious indentation.
