Mattress manufacturers tell you: Pillow mattresses must not be used

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine recently notified the results of national supervision and random inspection on the quality of 37 types of products. Among them, the qualified rate of spring soft mattress products was 88%, and the amount of formaldehyde released was the main problem causing the unqualified products. At least one third of one's life is spent in bed. The two "intimate partners" who stay with you through the night are often unobtrusive, that is, the less-mentioned pillow and mattress.

Pillow selection: good ventilation, good height and suitable height. If the pillow is too hard, too soft, too high or too short, it will affect sleep and cause harm to the cervical spine. The proper pillow height should be at the height of the fist when lying flat, at the height of the shoulder when lying on the side, and should support the neck in an arc. Since people have to change their postures frequently during sleep, it is really difficult to make a pillow that meets this requirement.

You can make your own buckwheat husk or bran husk pillow that flows like sand with the turn of your head. The air permeability of the pillow is better, which is good for sleep and the skin of the head and face. So, what is the appropriate height for the pillow? This varies from person to person, and is related to each person's fatness, shoulder width, neck length, sleeping posture, etc.

A pillow that is too high is easy to sleep on the neck into an antitonia, and a pillow that is too low will have poor support, and the neck will not be able to rest and recover. The suitable height of the pillow is generally 10-15 cm, and the pillow should be slightly higher for people with shoulder width, fat body and long neck. For people who are accustomed to sleeping on their backs, the height of their pillow should be the same as the height of their fists after compression (the height of the clenched fist and the tiger's mouth upward); for people who are used to sleeping on their sides, the height of their pillows should be the same as the shoulder width of their side after compression. Consistent is appropriate.

In addition, the pillows for patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, and asthma should be slightly higher, and those with low blood pressure and anemia should use slightly lower pillows. There are three main types of mattresses on the market today: Spring mattresses distribute the weight of the body evenly over the entire mattress, avoiding excessive pressure on any part of the body. The mattress can be flipped in any direction and is extremely durable.

The spring structure is breathable and creates a cool, dry microenvironment. The foam mattress is full of elasticity and can cushion the vibration caused by body movements. Even if the person beside the pillow frequently turns over, it will not affect your peaceful sleep. Latex mattresses are soft and flexible, have shape retention and recovery properties, support all parts of the body, and excel in average pressure distribution.

When choosing a mattress, you should pay attention to fit, breathability, and environmental protection. The fit is often overlooked when judging whether a mattress is suitable for you. Different bodies and different sleeping habits determine different bedding needs. The air permeability is considered because hot and humid air will be generated during sleep. The air permeability of the mattress is not good, and the hot and humid air is not easy to volatilize, causing harm to the human body. The environmental protection problem mainly depends on whether the material meets the relevant standards. To maintain strength and prolong life, reposition your mattress every three months.

Also, both pillows and mattresses need to be kept clean and dry and require regular sun exposure, especially on sauna days. The right pillows and mattresses keep you comfortable, get rid of fatigue as quickly as possible, and stay healthy. The barely adequate pillow and mattress may temporarily adapt to the body, but sooner or later there will be damage to the spine.
