There are many kinds of pillows, but they can be generally divided into two categories: ordinary pillows and health pillows. With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for health and sleep quality, people's requirements for pillows are getting higher and higher. Below, Tutu will talk to you about pillows.

I. Pillow and its structure

The history of pillows is almost as long as that of human beings. The materials and shapes of pillows are different in different times, but the basic function of pillows has remained basically unchanged, that is, one of the sleeping tools. In ancient times, the most common pillows were those filled with chaff, and most of them were cylindrical in shape. Of course, there are also some pillows made of special materials, such as jade pillows, porcelain pillows and wooden pillows. Modern pillows are mostly filled with cotton wool or fluff, and the appearance of pillows is mostly square. Of course, there are pillows of other materials and shapes, but most of them are called health pillows.

No matter ancient or modern pillows, most of them are composed of pillowcases and pillow cores, in which the composition of pillow cores is very complicated, while pillowcases are relatively simple. There are too many materials for pillow core, such as plush, cotton wool, chaff and various Chinese herbal medicines. The material of pillowcase is relatively simple, such as cotton cloth, cotton polyester and man-made fiber.

Second, the common types of pillows

Health pillows that can play a certain role in health care can be roughly divided into two categories: physical health pillows and drug health pillows. The so-called physical health pillow refers to the purpose of health care by changing the shape of the pillow, such as B-type pillow, O-type pillow and back pillow specially used for treating cervical spondylosis. There is also a kind of health pillow that plays a health care role through special fillers, such as pillows filled with various medicinal materials. When people put it on the pillow, they will smell all kinds of fragrance from the medicinal materials, which can make people more calm when sleeping.

As an important sleeping tool, the shape and material of pillow should be very particular. First of all, the pillow should be kept at a certain height, which requires the pillow to use fillers with moderate hardness. If it is too soft, it is difficult to ensure the proper height of the pillow, but it is too hard and unhealthy. Secondly, pillows should ensure good breathability and elasticity, pillows with poor elasticity are easy to deform, and pillows with poor breathability can easily lead to difficulty in breathing during sleep. Finally, the cleanliness of the pillow is also very important. Cleaning pillows regularly can fundamentally ensure our health.
