In accordance with the anatomy of our body, a lying person needs a support for the head.
Even the ancient Egyptians came up with a wooden stand under their heads. However, Europeans have long preferred feather and down pillows. But recently, latex pillows have become very popular. So that in the supine position the spine does not bend, an orthopedic option was invented. This pillow is rectangular in shape. A roll is made along one of the long sides. There are options with two rollers. It is the cushion that supports the head and neck during sleep. The fact is that the neck does not rest when the head is lying incorrectly. Curvature of the cervical vertebrae is a source of severe headaches and all sorts of other troubles.
How to make the right choice?
In order to choose the right orthopedic pillow, you need to consider the following facts:
- people with wide shoulders need a higher pillow;
- if a person likes to sleep on his back, then you need to ensure that the head is not too high;
- if in a dream a person constantly puts his hand under his head, then the chosen pillow is low;
- if there is a feeling of an uncomfortable position, then the head lies high;
- if neck pain is felt in the morning , and the shoulders become stiff, then the head position is too low.
Rollers have a height of 6 to 16 cm. For ordinary people, a height of 10-14 cm is sufficient.
Latex - a healer
Latex pillows have wonderful properties. They are sensitive and elastic, creating ideal conditions for sleep, taking the form of a head and neck. The latex form is inserted into the cotton case. A phyto-cover is put on top. All cases have a zipper for convenience. Elastic latex, taking on the shape of the body, provides support for the cervical spine. Latex pillows can relieve a person of snoring and headache, they can relax the spine and shoulders, which will create ideal conditions for sleep. They will last a long time, and they are easy to care for.
Thai latex
Very good latex pillows from Thailand. They are made from natural foam latex made from the juice of the rubber tree of hevea. Such latex has an antibacterial property and does not cause allergies. A large number of holes in the latex allows the pillow to be well ventilated.

If the thickness is more than necessary, then it is easy to trim.
There are latex pillows about three thousand rubles. Thailand also produces massage pillows. You can buy them both in ordinary stores and online.
