You would be much surprised if you learned how many people suffer from chronic fatigue, back pain and other problems just because they did not bother to provide themselves with comfortable conditions for a healthy sleep.
Along with the comfort of the bed is very important the chosen pillow, namely its size and contents. And if the choice of size is more or less clear, then to understand which filler for pillows is better, not everyone can immediately. We present a small rating that will help you better navigate in this matter.
Bamboo
Indian yogis advise you to put a hard roller under your head during sleep. But to give up the habit of sleeping on a soft pillow may not be decided by many. Fortunately, there is a compromise option: a bamboo filler. To date, the favorite plant of Chinese panda is the most popular material for making pillows. As a filler, yarn woven from cellulose, extracted from young shoots, is used. This pillow has many advantages:
- light weight;
- vapor and air permeability( breathable effect);
- filler material is completely natural;
- pillow takes the optimal shape, repeating the outline of the neck and head( anatomical effect) and contributes to the most relaxed and comfortable position of the neck muscles and vertebrae.
Latex
If you are serious about your health and want to have a truly comfortable and healthy sleep, the pillow with the latex filler is best for you. Only such a pillow can have a full orthopedic effect, because latex, unlike other fillers, can be given a clear form.
A special groove for the head and a roller under the neck contribute to a complete relaxation of the muscles of the neck and shoulders, and the vertebrae take the right natural position. Latex cushions have the longest service life, do not absorb moisture and are not prone to infection by mites and other parasites.
This latex is extracted from the juice of rubber plants and is a completely natural material. But because of the high cost, manufacturers often replace it with synthetic latex, or fill the pillow with a mixture of these materials. The content of natural latex in such a product can vary from 30% to 60%, so when buying a pillow with latex, carefully study the composition of its filler.
Another advantage of pillows made of latex: you can adjust its shape and size to your physique by simply cutting an unnecessary latex with a knife.
Feather and down
The traditional material used for the production of pillows, today is not inferior to the popularity of newfangled fillers. You can recognize the down pillow immediately: it is heavy and soft, and sleeping on it is very comfortable and cozy. However, down-feather filler is a favorite environment for ticks, so it is very important to regularly clean and disinfect such pillows. It will not be superfluous and regular airing, because fluff absorbs moisture well. If the pillow is not ventilated, it will appear cold due to dampness.
Hollofayber
If you do not want to spend money on bamboo or swan feathers, you probably will have a hullfiber. It is completely synthetic material, but it is very warm and eco-friendly. Cushion from holofaybera easy and convenient, and most importantly - absolutely harmless for people suffering from asthma or allergies.
Of course, this article does not list the materials used to produce pillows. Fillers for pillows are flavored, with a relaxing and soothing effect. Fans of exotic, for example, like fillers prefer seaweed or eucalyptus.
Someone will like buckwheat - for an unusual massage of the neck and scalp. And on a remarkably fragrant cushion with an addition of juniper you will see only pleasant dreams. The main thing - remember: the pillow can not be bought at random. After all, a quality pillow is the guarantee of a healthy sleep, and a healthy sleep is a pledge of well-being and life success, which we wholeheartedly wish you.
