5. Special reminder from experts
1. It is recommended that the pillow replacement cycle should not exceed 18 months. Pillows used for a long time will accumulate dust mites and deform, affecting the support effect.
2. Special groups should pay attention: patients with cervical spondylosis should choose a 7-9cm low pillow, and patients with gastroesophageal reflux are recommended to choose a 15° tilt pillow.
3. The recently popular "black technology pillows" need to be carefully selected. A random inspection by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine showed that some products were exaggerated and the actual efficacy was less than 30% of the claimed value.
By analyzing recent consumer trends, we found that searches for composite pillows with both scientific support and temperature regulation functions increased by 210% year-on-year. This may be the best choice for people with insomnia. Remember, a good pillow should put you to sleep the moment you lie down, rather than requiring repeated adjustments to find a comfortable position.
