When it comes to pillows, the first thing I think of is cervical spondylosis. It seems that everyone thinks that the reason for paying attention to pillows is cervical spondylosis. Indeed, a comfortable pillow can not only ensure good sleep, but also protect the cervical spine. How high should a normal pillow be?
how high is the best pillow
The most basic requirement of an ideal pillow is to make the pillow closely fit the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, so that people who work, study and live for a day can relieve the fatigue of the cervical muscles and ligaments during sleep. Therefore, when choosing a pillow, you must pay attention to the height of the pillow core.
The normal pillow height is generally 10 cm to 15 cm, and the pillow of people with shoulder width, fat body and long neck should be slightly higher. People with different sleeping methods have different requirements for pillows:
supine sleeping: for those who are used to supine sleeping, the pillow height should be equal to their fist height after compression (the height of the tiger’s mouth is the fist height standard);
side sleeping: for those who are used to side sleeping, the height of the pillow should be the same as the height of one shoulder after compression.
