Go Jiaju.com said that one third of the person’s life is spent sleeping. Pillows are one of the must-have beddings. What kind of pillow is best? Which pillow is suitable for the elderly? The Huadian breeze tells you what pillows are suitable for the elderly.
Huadian Qingfeng teaches you how to choose a pillow suitable for the elderly:
1, height
High quality sleep is very important for physical and mental health, so choosing a good pillow is very necessary. For the elderly, too soft pillows will hinder the rotation of the head, which is not conducive to blood circulation. Experts suggest that the elderly should choose a pillow with a height of 9 cm. Don't ask too much or be too short. Too high, it is easy to cause insomnia and dream, and sleep is not practical. If it is too short, it will also make the cervical vertebrae not get a good relaxation and rest, depression, blood circulation is not smooth.
2, hardness
Too soft pillows have a large area of ​​compression on the scalp, which is not conducive to blood circulation, and does not have good support for human head and cervical vertebrae. For the elderly, too soft pillows can hinder the rotation of the head, which makes it easy for them to bury their faces in the pillow during the turning process, thus affecting breathing and even causing suffocation. In addition, too soft pillows are also prone to "stiffing". The elderly have many degenerative changes in the spine, so it is more important to prevent the occurrence of spinal disease. In addition, a suitable pillow can have a certain shaping effect on the head. Therefore, when choosing a pillow, it is best to choose a pillow with a little bit of hardness, so that as the head rotates, it will flow and shape at any time, which will evenly support the body, ensuring smooth breathing and head and neck. The muscles are relaxed.
3, pillow core
Buckwheat skin pillows are more suitable for the elderly. In addition, silkworm, tea, and rice belong to this type of shapeable, breathable pillow. For patients with cervical spondylosis, if you can use pillows made of these materials, it will be more beneficial treatment.
4, size
The length of the pillow is preferably wider than the shoulder under normal conditions. Don't sleep too small a pillow, because when you turn over, the pillow can't support the neck, and the small pillow can affect the sense of safety during sleep. Some people like to use irregular pillows, very personal, but consider whether it is detrimental to the quality of sleep.
5, structure
The groove design is recommended, the middle is lower than the surrounding, in addition to the moderate support of the head, it can also gently support the neck. The left and right sides are thicker and can automatically adapt to the height of the side of the human body when the body is turned over during sleep. An ideal pillow, the most basic thing is to make the pillow fit tightly to the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra, so that people who work and study for a day can relieve the fatigue of the cervical muscles and ligaments during sleep. The shape of the head is suitable for cervical curvature due to its low middle and high front end. This type of pillow can use the front convex part to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra. The traditional pillow has a cervical spine that is easily deformed.
The correct way to use pillows
1. When lying down (sleeping back), use a pillow to pad from the entire head to the neck, and not to pad the shoulder. Otherwise, the cervical vertebrae will be pressed, and only half of the brain will sleep on the pillow, which will make the cervical spine hang; Another small pillow is placed under the knees to allow the knee to relax in a slightly flexed state. The doctor said that the wrong position may be sore and uncomfortable in the short term, and cause more health problems in the long run.
2, when sleeping sideways, the width of the shoulder will cause the head and neck to hang, the height of the pillow should be doubled, and the two pillows can be used together. The feet near the bed are straight and the other foot is bent and sleep. A small pillow between them can help the waist relax, so it will feel very comfortable to sleep.
