Orthopedic pillow: Health and Beauty
Our body is designed in such a way that in a horizontal position for a healthy sleep need to use the head on a small raised support - pillow. But, surprisingly, we are used to cushion padding - down or feather - for this approach is weak. And the whole point - to their excessive softness. Not for nothing, even with a big soft pillow in a dream, many placed under the head of his hand - our body subconsciously "seeks" appropriate support healthy - tougher.
In Ancient Egypt, the master came up with a special stand made of wood, which was placed on his head during sleep to eliminate and prevent back pain and cervical spine. In addition, the cervical vertebrae due to awkward postures and lifting the head may receive unnecessary strain that leads to persistent pain.
A correctly designed pillow - the need not only for health but also for the beauty, for the correct position of the body leads to the appearance of unwanted wrinkles. Do not be surprised: many women wrinkles appear because of wrong and unnatural position of the head and neck while you sleep!
To sleep sweetly: how to choose the right orthopedic pillow?
1. Note the width of the shoulders - than they are wider, the higher the pillow. It is especially important to observe this rule, if you usually sleep on your side.
2. If you are used to sleeping on your back or stomach, the pillow should be low.
3. If you sleep on a soft mattress, also favored a low pillow. If you sleep on a hard surface, it is best to choose a higher pillow.
Please note the following:
• If, when you lie down on the pillow, I want to put a hand under your head or under your pillow, then it is too low.
• If on the morning of the neck or head aches, stiffens the upper part of the body, it may also indicate too low pillow or mattress is too firm.
Determines the length and width
This criterion when choosing a pillow - the easiest. To choose something that fits the width of the bed, especially if you get two of these pillows. Please note that the pillow does not extend beyond the mattress.
The only thing that might be difficult - is the selection of cases for orthopedic pillows. As is often the product is non-standard dimensions, making it sometimes difficult. The fact that the length of most pads varies between 40 and 80 cm, width - between 30 and 50 refer to the same standard pillow are sized 50 x 70 and 70 x 70.
Being at the right height!
The standard height of orthopedic pillows varies from 6 to 16 cm is enough for most people 10-14 cm in order to determine the height more accurately measure the distance from the base of the neck to the edge of the shoulder. However, calculating every inch of it is not necessary - as the pillows are mainly made quite soft, 1-2 cm will not play a significant role.
In specialty stores often offer even lie down and try out a pillow that says, in action. If you are in doubt whether you picked the right height of its acquisition, prefer a pillow that can change its height: this effect is achieved through 1-2 layers of foam, which is placed under the pillow in a pillowcase. Sometimes it happens that the holiday is more suitable alternative high pillows and sleeping - the lower, so at night, many take out the foam insert. This is done easily and quickly.
Shaped fun!
A little about the form of pillows. Today in specialized stores you can see the two forms of pillows: the classical form with a groove under the head of the center and orthopedic shape - with one or two rollers under the neck.
The main thing here - neck support, which will be carried out and in fact, and in the other case.
Remember, the ideal option is to purchase not only an orthopedic pillow under his head, but buying an orthopedic mattress.
Sweet dreams!
