How to choose a pillow for a short, petite person?
For petite individuals, it is recommended to choose a pillow that matches their body structure. Such individuals should pay special attention to selecting a pillow size and design that allows for proper support of the body's anatomical curves. Orthopedic pillows like the Yoko pillow, made of high-resilience (HR) open-cell foam, are particularly recommended. It has a preventive effect and is also effective in treating and rehabilitating flattened/reduced cervical lordosis. It provides the highest level of sleep comfort and provides excellent support for the head and spine.
What pillow to choose for a person of average height and weight?
Individuals with average body structure should choose orthopedic pillows with a physiological shape. These pillows should be based on an anatomical model of the human silhouette. Depending on their height, weight, and the condition of their cervical lordosis, individuals in this category are recommended to choose one of two orthopedic pillows: Enso or Asana. Both are made of high-resilience (HR) open-cell foam. They have a preventive effect and also assist in the treatment and rehabilitation of spinal disorders. They provide pain relief, improve sleep comfort, and ensure optimal support for the spine and head.
What pillow to choose for an overweight person?
For individuals who are overweight or obese, an anatomically shaped pillow made according to the physiological model of the human body should be chosen. The recommended pillow for larger individuals is the Hiro orthopedic pillow, made of high-resilience (HR) open-cell foam. It has both preventive properties and is highly effective in treating and rehabilitating spinal disorders. It provides the highest level of sleep comfort and ideal support for the head and spine.
What is the difference between a memory foam pillow and a high-resilience foam pillow?
A memory foam pillow is made of viscoelastic foam, also known as shape memory foam. These pillows provide a sense of comfort, but they tend to sink under pressure and temperature during the night. This causes them to no longer support the spine and head in a neutral position. Additionally, they can cause sweating on the head, neck, and back during the night. For many people, they make it difficult to change sleeping positions. On the other hand, high-resilience foam pillows are made of durable open-cell foams that provide air circulation and consistent support throughout the night.
Are foam pillows or latex pillows better?
A latex pillow is made of latex, which is derived from rubber sap. Most latex pillows are made from synthetic latex, sometimes with a small amount of natural latex mixed in. However, regardless of the origin of the latex, potentially harmful chemical substances are often used in its production. Additionally, latex does not allow for air circulation and frequently causes allergies. On the other hand, high-resilience foam pillows are made from open-cell foams, which are extremely durable. They allow for proper air circulation and do not trigger allergies. They are the best choice for individuals who prioritize a healthy and comfortable sleep.
