How does the height and shape of a pillow affect how well it supports your neck and shoulders?
Height: The height of the pillow should suit the sleeper's sleeping position and personal preferences. If the pillow is too high, it will cause the neck to tilt upward excessively, increasing the pressure on the neck; conversely, if the pillow is too low, the neck will receive insufficient support, which can easily lead to cervical spine distortion. Therefore, choosing a pillow of appropriate height can maintain the normal curve of the neck and reduce the pressure on the neck and shoulders.
shape:
Standard shapes: Most pillows used in hotels come in standard shapes, such as rectangular or curved. Pillows in these shapes generally provide good support and are suitable for a variety of sleeping positions.
Special shapes: Some hotels may also provide pillows with special shapes, such as memory foam pillows or cervical pillows. These pillows are designed based on ergonomic principles to better fit the curves of the neck and head, providing personalized support.
