For the hotel, the most important decoration is the bedding. Whether it is a hotel bed or a mattress, or a hotel quilt or pillow, these affect the sleep arrangement of guests, and any sloppyness may reduce the hotel’s reputation. Today we are going to talk about the height of the hotel pillow. So what is the most suitable height for the hotel pillow?
Sleeping on a high pillow for a long time will cause excessive flexion of the head and neck, causing muscle and ligament damage. Not to mention the more serious cervical spondylosis, it will also affect the posture and temperament of clothes.
What if it is a low pillow and no pillow? Never do this! Because they are the culprits of chronic injuries, they can overwhelm the cervical spine, which is under tremendous pressure every day.
What is the appropriate height? Sleep experts provided us with a rough figure, which is 9-10 cm. However, because each patient with cervical spondylosis is different in fat and thin, and different in shoulder width, this data can only be used as a reference, and specific problems need to be analyzed in detail.
① Choose according to sleep habits. If you are accustomed to sleeping on your back, the height of the pillow should be equal to the height of your fist (take the upright posture as the standard); if you are accustomed to sleeping on the side, the pillow should be equal to your shoulder width.
②Choose according to physical condition. If you suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease or asthma, the cervical spondylosis pillow should be 2-3 cm higher than the standard data; if you suffer from hypotension, anemia, you need to choose a pillow 2-3 cm lower.
③Choose according to body shape. If the body is overweight, the pillow can be slightly higher than 10 cm, and if it is thin, it should be slightly under 10 cm.
Summary: According to the above three principles, it can basically ensure that the pillow fits the curve of the cervical spine. If you still can’t make a judgment, just lie down and try. The judgment criterion is also very simple. Place the highest point of the pillow curvature directly behind the neck, and observe whether the cervical spine just fits the pillow surface and is not suspended.
