What is the correct use of hotel pillows?

The correct way to use the pillow is to put the part above the shoulder (neck and head) on it. Sleeping only half a pillow or covering the pillow with your shoulders will affect the physiological structure of the cervical spine. When people sleep on their backs, their heads and bodies should be kept on the same plane, and when they sleep on their sides, their cervical vertebrae and spine should be kept at the same height. Too high or too low neck pad will have a bad effect.

The human cervical vertebra has normal physiological curvature of lordosis. If the pillow is too high, it will cause the neck to buckle and it is easy to get stiff neck and snore. In addition, this will cause uneven longitudinal stress on the cervical spine, which will easily lead to disc herniation after a long time. If the pillow is too low, the neck will lean back excessively, and the pressure in the cervical spinal canal will increase, leading to dizziness the next day.

Extended data:

There are different specifications of pillows in hotels. Some pillows have a pillow core height of 22~24cm, which is 1 1~ 12cm after sleeping, some pillows have a pillow core height of 20~22cm, which is 9~ 10cm after sleeping, and some pillows have a lower pillow core height of only 7~8cm after sleeping.

These pillows with different specifications can adapt to different body shapes, whether they are humpbacked big men or petite children, they can meet their own needs. In addition, for some special people, such as patients with cervical spondylosis, their cervical vertebrae are weak compared with normal people, so they need to adjust their sleeping posture according to their illness. These pillows can also play a unique role to meet the sleep needs of special people.
