? 1, what is the proper meaning of pillow height?
How high is the pillow suitable? On the one hand, he varies from person to person; On the other hand, is there an objective and more scientific principle for the broad masses of the people? -Yes! Our research found that there is such a principle! -"When people rest and sleep in a prone position, they can keep the natural posture of their heads and necks without nesting their necks (that is, they will not deform their necks). This pillow is reasonable and suitable in height. " This is an objective requirement for comfortable and healthy sleep. This can be called the objectivity principle and health principle of proper pillow height. The appropriate height of the pillow that conforms to the objective health principle will cause the corresponding physiological tissues of the head and neck not to be deformed-can you maintain a natural posture? Without deformation, they will naturally avoid the damage caused by deformation, thus achieving comfort and health. This naturally has a protective mechanism for cervical vertebrae. This is really worth pursuing.
2, the pillow is suitable for the height of the pillow in the high lateral position and the height of the pillow in the supine position.
A person's suitable pillow height should be two-lying on his side and lying on his back. At present, many people don't know this problem in common sense, or they don't clearly realize it.
Of course, this problem is not complicated. Let's take a look at the basic facts about people's sleep and pillows, and it will be well understood. People usually sleep on their side and back, and these two sleeping positions change alternately during sleep. Under the condition of keeping the natural posture of the head and neck and not deforming the neck, the height of the head from the sleeping mat surface is different when lying on the side and supine, which is two heights. The height of lying on the side is large and the height of supine is small. (prone is generally not a healthy sleeping position, so it is not accepted and confirmed here. ) We can sum up the basic facts about sleeping and pillows as follows: "Two sleeping positions, two heights". We sleep on our side and lie on our back at two heights, which correspond to the appropriate height of the pillow. Shouldn't it be divided into side height and supine height?
By further understanding the height difference of the suitable pillow height of people lying on their side and supine, it is easier to understand that the suitable pillow height can be divided into two heights: lateral pillow height and supine pillow height. Our research results show that the suitable pillow height difference between people in lateral and supine positions in China is about 10 cm. (At this time, the height of supine is calculated according to the height of the back of the head from the sleeping mat surface, not according to the high point of neck curl. Intuitively, this is also easy to understand. When you lie on your side, you will have an extra shoulder height, which is about 10 cm.
3. According to ergonomics, the pillow height data table suitable for China people is obtained.
Under the guidance of ergonomics, Shen Xiangdong of Tianjin worked hard to realize the objectivity principle and health principle of pillow height, and obtained a data table of pillow height which is reasonable for China people according to the data of national standard GB 10000-88 "China Adult Body Shape". The origin of this data table can refer to the discussion and inference of the appropriate height of pillows in Baidu Library, or the headline document of the same name.
This is a systematic and holistic view of the problem, so it is much more scientific than all previous statements, including a data table to distinguish between men and women, which is divided into high, medium and short according to their height, and the human structure of the head and neck is also considered, clearly distinguishing supine and lateral lying, which is reasonable for pillow height. With it, people can get a more comprehensive and clear understanding. People can choose a reasonable and suitable pillow height according to their own situation, which is more convenient for lying on their side and supine.
?
Note: the height of supine pillow in the above table refers to the height according to the distance from the high point of neck curl to the surface of sleeping pad; Press the back of the head, about 3 cm lower.
4, there are corresponding actual products, and it is not nonsense that the pillow height is suitable.
With the data table of the appropriate pillow height, can people pillow the appropriate pillow height? Obviously not yet! Only when innovative pillow products can realize the appropriate pillow height data table, for the general public, "appropriate pillow height" is not only a theoretical existence, but also a "fabrication"!
In recent years, Mr. Shen Xiangdong of Tianjin invented utility model patents "high and low pillows" and "combined high and low pillows". In order to distinguish between wave pillow and memory pillow, it is also called high and low pillow; It can better reflect the essential characteristics of the new pillow from the functional level. From 20 16, the above patents are collectively referred to as "fully fitted pillow in lateral position".
There are two pillow positions, namely, a high pillow position suitable for lateral lying and a low pillow position suitable for supine lying. The user can lie on his side and lie on his back, and the pillow is at a suitable pillow height. The core technology and function of lateral position pillow lies in that it can provide each user with a lateral position pillow height and a supine position pillow height suitable for him or her at the same time; Let the user's head and neck maintain a natural posture during sleep, and let the corresponding physiological tissues avoid the damage caused by deformation, so as to achieve comfort and health. In this way, the lateral position pillow has formed a unique protection mechanism for cervical vertebrae. The invention overcomes the defect that the flat pillow widely used at present has poor compliance to the objective needs of human bodies. Suitable for all people except infants. It is a daily necessities and health care product for the public, especially suitable for preventing and rehabilitating cervical discomfort. Obviously, the side pillow is the product of the big health industry.
Do you have any practical products for lying on your back? Got it! Interested people can go to the Taobao shop "Tianjin Shenzhen Height Pillow Center" ().
The lateral position pillow is a concrete product to realize the data table of suitable pillow height for China people.
5. The product specification table is derived from the appropriate pillow height data table.
From the appropriate pillow height data table to the practical application of the project, there is also a link to set product specifications. With the appropriate pillow height data table, it provides a reliable basis for determining the pillow height specification in lateral position. We have determined that the specifications of the fully fitted pillow in the lateral position are as follows.
Innovative lateral position fully fits the basic specifications of pillows.
These nine basic norms apply to most adults in China. The specifications of the pillow are as follows: high pillow height cm/ low pillow height cm. For example, the specification 14/6 indicates that the height of the high pillow position is14cm; The height of the low pillow position is 6 cm.
The setting of the above specifications can also provide people with an outstanding function: after choosing the specifications that suit them correctly, the maximum deviation between our objective need to maintain the natural state of the head and neck and the fit that this new pillow can give is less than or equal to 1 cm.
According to the data table of China people's suitable pillow height, the basic specifications of fully suitable lateral supine pillows are determined, and the data table of China people's suitable pillow height is realized by the fully suitable lateral supine pillows manufactured according to this specification. In other words, the specifications of pillows that are completely suitable for lying on one's side and supine are the height of pillows suitable for China people.
6. The correspondence between China's personal height grade and the appropriate pillow height value, and the product description of the fully-fitted pillow in the lateral position.
In order to clearly give the corresponding relationship between China people's height grade and their suitable lateral pillow height and supine pillow height, as well as the corresponding relationship with the product specifications of lateral fully-fitted pillows, we draw the following corresponding table according to the original data of Peugeot people's height, suitable lateral pillow height and supine pillow height according to the approximate linear relationship. This is our recommended correspondence, which has strong operability, that is, people can choose their own suitable pillow height according to it, and it is also the product manual. Considering the differences of human body and the tendency of living habits, people can adjust according to their own differences and needs on the basis of corresponding height values. For example, the average height of a man is 16 1 ~ 177 cm. Generally, you can choose a suitable pillow of 14/6 cm. If his shoulder width is much wider than that of his peers, he can choose 16/6 cm.
If the height is beyond the listed range, you can contact to use the extended specification.
7. Please be careful not to misunderstand or misjudge the "stepped" shape of the pillow in the lateral position.
Compared with the commonly used flat pillow, the fully fitted pillow in lateral position has made a qualitative leap in function. However, I'm afraid that some readers will immediately have questions about this kind of pillow after seeing the structural styles of some product photos of the side lying supine pillow: why is it so long? -the highlight is the "ladder". How to pillow such a pillow? Will that work?
A brand-new pillow is really different from a lot of pillows on the market now. It looks a little weird. A new thing, which I have never seen, is strange at first sight-in fact, it is not strange at all. It is quite natural to make a completely comfortable pillow lying on your side and back, which is obviously different from the commonly used "flat pillow". If it is like a "flat pillow" now, it is still a "flat pillow"!
It's different if it's different, right? -But how can you rest on that "step" pillow? Will that work? -in fact, this "ladder" conforms to the structure of our human body! People should be able to imagine that when we turn from supine to lateral lying, the shoulders under our heads naturally raise people's heads to a height, a lateral lying height that is naturally higher than supine height. On the other hand, when we turn back, from lying on our side to lying on our back, there are no shoulder pads under our heads, so our heads naturally need to be lowered by a height, from the height of lying on our side to the height of lying on our back. Correspondingly, this requires the pillow to be "stepped" and "stepped". -this just shows that changing sleeping position is completely corresponding to the "stair-shaped" pillow. When you really use a pillow, take your lateral position height and supine height as your suitable pillow height, you will feel natural. From supine position to lateral position, from lateral position to supine position, how to turn over is natural and smooth, without any obstacles, and there will be no imagination of getting up, getting down and not working well. This is because the lateral supine pillow really conforms to the human structure. Therefore, it is absolutely unnecessary to misunderstand and misjudge the "step" and "step" of the new lateral position pillow!
There are "step-shaped" and "step-shaped" fully comfortable pillows when lying on your side and supine. The fundamental reason is that we should pursue an appropriate pillow height to keep our head and neck in a natural state during sleep, and the corresponding physiological tissues will not be affected by the damage caused by deformation, so as to achieve the purpose of comfort and health. So what is the basis for saying that this "step" provides a suitable pillow height? Based on the appropriate pillow height data table we got. From the data table of suitable pillow height, it can be seen that if the height of supine position is calculated according to the vertex of the back of the head, the height difference between the suitable pillow height of people lying on the side and that of supine position is about 10 cm (if the height of supine position is calculated according to the high point of cervical curvature, the height difference is about 8 cm), which is the source and basis of "step shape". This is also the reason why the "flat pillow" widely used all over the world can't provide people with suitable pillow height. How can a height and a "flat pillow" provide a height suitable for lateral and supine lying, with a height difference of about 10 cm? Don't misunderstand the "step shape" of the fully-fitted pillow in lateral position-the problem is that the new fully-fitted pillow in lateral position needs a process of understanding, understanding, adaptation and familiarity.
Let's talk about it from the front-a completely comfortable pillow lying on your back is naturally "stepped" and "stepped", which is in line with the essential characteristics of human structure; Otherwise, you can't provide people with the right lying height and supine pillow height at the same time, not the side lying supine pillow.
8. Can a flat pillow provide a suitable pillow height?
Up to now, the pillows commonly used by people are all "flat pillows", that is, the height of the pillows is generally the same in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the human body (the height difference of the pillows is generally less than 2.5 cm regardless of the side). The longitudinal direction of the human body refers to the direction from head to toe when standing. So; Wave pillow and space cotton memory pillow also belong to the category of "flat pillow"; Because its height is different, it is in the longitudinal direction parallel to the human body.
At the same time, we know that if the height of supine position is calculated with the back of the head as the vertex, the difference between the suitable height of people lying on their side and that of supine position is about 10 cm. Obviously, the commonly used lying pillow, because it provides a height, can not provide people with two heights at the same time-a reasonable and suitable height for lateral lying and a reasonable and suitable height for supine lying. In other words, a flat pillow can't provide a suitable pillow height. Specifically, for example, if this flat pillow is a reasonable height for supine, then when it lies on its side, it will be short 10 cm. Conversely, if this flat pillow is a reasonable height for lying on your side, then it is 10 cm high when lying on your back. If the height of this flat pillow is the average of the reasonable and suitable heights of lateral and supine positions, the difference between lateral and supine positions is 5 cm. If the height of this flat pillow is a value in the interval between the reasonable height of lateral position and the reasonable height of supine position, then the sum of the difference between it and the reasonable height of lateral position and supine position is 10 cm. If the height of this flat pillow is a value outside the reasonable and suitable height range of lateral lying and supine, then the sum of the difference between it and the suitable height of lateral lying and supine will be greater than 10 cm, and the difference of coincidence will be even greater. In a word, a flat pillow can't provide a suitable pillow height.
9. Make some explanations and welcome questions and discussions.
The correspondence between China people's height classification and suitable pillow height given in this paper is also the correspondence with the product manual of fully suitable pillow for lateral position just released recently. I have considered this before, but I wrote it only recently. With this correspondence, the "appropriate pillow height" really landed. In the past, only the data table of suitable pillow height can be given, which seems to answer the question of how high the pillow is, but after careful study, it is still difficult for people to know what their suitable pillow height is. With the current correspondence table, people who are generally beautiful and have no special habit tendency can immediately find out their suitable pillow height, and also correspond to the product specifications of lateral lying and supine lying. Under special circumstances, adjust yourself according to the situation to get the pillow height that suits you.
The discussion about the height suitability of pillows here is still a new rational understanding, and many talents have just come into contact with it. But the understanding of "two sleeping positions and two heights" is easy to understand once it is combined with reality. On this basis, it is not difficult to understand the new understanding of the appropriate height of pillows.
The author hopes that people from all walks of life and pillow users will ask questions and discuss them, so as to promote our understanding of the suitable pillow height of human pillows.
