The pillow core should not only be filled properly, but also be of moderate height
The height of the pillow also plays a crucial role in sleep! According to the theory given by traditional Chinese medicine, the general understanding of the height of the pillow is that it is more appropriate for people who are used to lying on their back to have one fist high and those who are used to sleeping on their side to have one and a half fist high.
However, according to the recent medical survey, in the 8-hour sleep, the posture of healthy people changes about 20-45 times, and half of them change once in less than 5 minutes, 60% of them lie on their back, 35% lie on their side, and 5% lie on their face. Therefore, although the pillow height people need is often different from person to person, which is related to the height of each person, fat and thin, shoulder width, head circumference, neck length and neck radian, and there is no certain standard, but the general sleep due to the use of supine posture for more time, it is generally recommended to use a little more than one fist, not to reach a fist and a half height.
If the height of the pillow is too high or too low for a long time, the cervical vertebra will be excessively bent, which is easy to cause physiological bone spur of the cervical vertebra and the appearance of "falling pillow". The actual height of the user's cervical vertebra will be maintained at about 7cm, which is the best height for fast access to deep sleep.
What kind of pillow core is good for children's pillow
Childhood is the time of the fastest growth and development, with vigorous metabolism, more sweat on the head, easy to wet the pillow when sleeping, sweat and dandruff mixed, plus easy to drool when sleeping, wet saliva and stolen goods on the scalp are easy to remain on the pillow, causing all kinds of diseases.
What pillow core should children use? Based on the above situation, children must choose the pillow core with good moisture absorption, air permeability, and moderate hardness. In addition, the filler of pillow core is better to use natural non poisonous pillow core without peculiar smell, such as buckwheat skin, tea, chrysanthemum, etc. Another example: the new memory cotton pillow core has good elasticity, permeability and plasticity, which can support the head and reduce the head pressure. It is also a good choice for the pillow core. Bigger babies can use mung beans, rice grains, and silkworm sand as fillings to make their skulls stronger and better looking. Of course, we must pay attention to the usual pillow core often dry, so as not to sweat too much to produce mold.
When should I use children's pillows
Generally speaking, the baby can use the baby pillow about 3 months, during which the baby's spine and neck appear forward physiological bending. In order to maintain this physiological bending and keep the body comfortable, it is appropriate to start using pillows at this time. The baby's pillow should be soft and hard. If the baby's pillow is too soft, it can't support the cervical vertebra well, and because the contact surface with the baby's scalp is too large, it is not conducive to blood circulation, poor ventilation, and even affects breathing, which may cause the risk of suffocation.
Of course, it's not good to sleep on a baby pillow that is too hard for the baby. If the pillow is too hard, the baby's neck muscles will feel tired, which is easy to cause falling pillow. But the baby's skull is soft, the chimney door and skull line are not completely closed, long-term use will cause head deformation or face size, affect the appearance of beauty, at the same time, a circle of hair on the pillow will be worn off, resulting in pillow baldness.
How high is the child's pillow
The main function of the pillow is to support the cervical spine, so the height of the baby's pillow should be adapted to it. If infants and children within three months need pillows, they can fold several layers of towels instead. Three months later, it's OK to use 4cm high pillows. Later, with the increase of age, adjust and increase the height of pillows at any time. The standard of this height is that after the baby falls on the pillow, the head and body keep balance, and there is no uncomfortable state of sinking and raising. The length of the pillow is equal to the baby's shoulder width, and the width is about the height of the baby's head
At 4-5 months, the baby's cervical vertebra begins to bend forward. In order to let the baby breathe freely and grow smoothly, a 1cm high pillow can be used, or a cotton towel can be used instead. The towel can be folded into about 1cm high. The most reasonable pillow height for a 3-6-month-old baby is less than 3cm. After 6 months, the height of pillow should be increased appropriately, 3-4cm is the best.
Baby pillows should not be too hard. As children grow up, their skulls and other skulls are relatively soft, and the combination is not firm. Long term use of hard pillows can lead to deformation of baby's skulls. In serious cases, it seems that the baby's face will be large while the baby's face will be small, and the baby's head will be sunken in one or several places.
