THE RIGHT PILLOW – A METHOD FOR BETTER SLEEP
Providing your body with good quality sleep is key to maintaining health and well-being. How our sleep will be depends on what we sleep on. Not only is choosing the right mattress important, but also choosing the right pillow for your needs, preferably one that has medical properties.
A poorly selected pillow can cause neck, back, shoulder and head pain, and consequently lead to fatigue and lack of sleep. When looking for the perfect pillow, you need to pay attention to the fabric from which it is made, the quality of workmanship and the properties it has that will have a beneficial effect on our health and help treat our ailments.
TYPES OF PILLOWS
If you like to sleep on your back, it is worth choosing an anatomical pillow, profiled or non-profiled, while remembering that it should not be too high, as it may cause neck pain. With this sleeping position, you can also buy a profiled leg pillow that will alleviate calf pain.
If you sleep on your side, the ideal solution will be a harder profiled pillow that will provide cervical support. There are many options to choose from here. Specialized pillows provide support not only for the neck, but also for the shoulders and head.
For people who prefer to sleep on their stomach, the best option is soft pillows filled with cooling gel that will relax the facial muscles. An additional option is to choose a pillow filled with an aroma, e.g. lavender, to help you fall asleep.
Another feature to remember when choosing a pillow is its filling. Pillows may have natural fillings, e.g. feathers or fluff. Such pillows are very delicate to the touch, easy to arrange and suitable for sleeping in any position.
Pillows with synthetic inserts are friendly to allergy sufferers and are low priced. They are the most common type of pillows in stores.
Specialized (anatomical) pillows are filled with thermoelastic foam. The filling is dense, which has a beneficial effect on the support of the cervical section. The foam, like a pillow with natural filling, perfectly regulates heat and moisture. However, its advantage over other types of pillows is the profiling in the right places, which places the spine in a natural position and relaxes the muscles. In addition, it causes the head to sink slightly and the spine to remain in the desired straight line.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST PILLOW FOR SLEEPING?
A good pillow must provide adequate support for the head, neck and shoulders. Depending on the sleeping position, you can choose a profiled or non-profiled pillow with the filling that suits you best. Safety is an important aspect. The pillow comes into contact with the skin every day, so you need to choose one that has the appropriate certificates and is made of high-quality materials. It is important to remember that the pillow should not be too soft or too hard, so the best solution will be a pillow made of flexible foam that will adapt to our body.
