2021 Pillow Purchase & Cleaning Guide

I don't know if you have ever experienced this situation: you have been asleep for a long time, but your whole body aches when you wake up as if you had a false sleep.

Sleep quality is not high, not only related to sleeping position, but also inseparable from pillows, so it is very important to choose a pillow that suits you.

As a leading and professional pillow manufacturer, we'll provide you with the pillow purchase and cleaning guide.

Which pillow matches you best?

A good pillow needs to meet three points: the basic structure to support the neck, the right height, and high-quality filling materials.

✅Choose a pillow according to your sleeping position

There are three common sleeping positions in life: lying on your back, lying on your side, and lying on your stomach. These three postures also have different requirements for pillows.

• Lying on your back: For those who like to lie down and fall asleep, when choosing a pillow, the height of the pillow should be a punch of your hand. Near the neck, the filling of the pillow should be soft, such as a pure cotton pillow with elasticity.

• Lying on your side: For people who usually like to sleep on your side, choose a slightly higher pillow and a harder material, such as a buckwheat pillow. Pillow height needs to be: a punch of the hand + the thickness of the palm to fill the gap between the ears and shoulders.

• Lying on your stomach: This posture is actually very unhealthy, but everyone will definitely not be able to change it for a while. If you like to sleep on your stomach, you can choose a thinner pillow and put a thin pillow on your abdomen to avoid back pain.

✅Choose a pillow according to the material

As our daily skin-friendly items, pillowcases and pillow cores must be taken seriously. When choosing a pillowcase, be sure to choose a pure cotton fabric with good breathability and water absorption. There are many choices for pillow cores, and different linings have different advantages and disadvantages.

• Man-made fiber pillow

This is the most common pillow on the market. It is filled with down velvet. This is a pillow with relatively high flexibility, simple care, and low price, which can meet the most basic needs.

In the current market, this kind of pillow is made by almost every company, and the price ranges from 9.9 to hundreds.

Although the elasticity of this pillow is very high, due to the large compression space of feather velvet, the pressure on the head and neck will not be obvious. On the whole, it can be regarded as the most basic support, but it is almost impossible to find a better way to relieve the pressure on the cervical spine.

Advantages: easy to clean, low price

Disadvantages: lack of elasticity, airtight, easy to deform and agglomerate

• Down pillow

The upper limit of the down pillow is very high, mainly because the down experience is very close to the slow rebound memory foam, which also has a very good effect on alleviating the pressure on the neck. At the same time, the high-fluffy down pillow has very wide adaptability, lying on the back and lying on the side almost can adapt.

But the experience of inferior down pillows is very bad, especially there are many junk goods with low bulkiness + high filling volume to pretend to be high bulkiness pillows.

Advantages: good bulkiness, not easy to deform, lightweight and breathable, not stuffy and hot

Disadvantages: not easy to clean, use with caution if you are allergic to down

• Buckwheat pillow

Buckwheat pillows, like fiber pillows, are low-priced pillows. The regular products in online channels can basically be dealt with within 80 yuan, and occasionally they can even cost about 50 yuan.

The buckwheat husk filled inside is actually not as particular as many people think. The quality difference of the buckwheat in the buckwheat pillows on the market is almost zero.

The reason is that the buckwheat husk itself is an agricultural and sideline product, and the quality is almost not particularly high.

Advantages: warm in winter and cool in summer, clearing away heat and removing fire

Disadvantages: not easy to clean, need to dry regularly

Recommendation index: 😀😀

• Natural latex pillow

The biggest advantage of the latex pillow is that it supports the cervical spine very strongly, which is very suitable for improving the discomfort of the cervical spine. Unfortunately, its application surface is relatively narrow and only suitable for those who are not comfortable with the cervical spine.

Advantages: excellent elasticity, sterile, not easy to deform, good support, easy to clean

Disadvantages: relatively expensive

How to clean the pillow?

Pillows need to be air-conditioned and cleaned regularly. If they are not cleaned for a long time, they can easily breed molds, mites, etc., and cause allergies, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. By the way, pillows also need to be replaced regularly.

Different pillow cleaning methods

The cleaning frequency of the pillow core is about once every three months, and it can be washed with water or exposed to the sun. If you are prone to allergies, it is recommended to use hot water above 50°C when washing with water to kill dust mites; it is best to dry it for about three hours.

• Cotton pillow

The cotton pillow does not need to be washed with water, and it can be sterilized by airing it in the sun after lightly tapping it.

• Space cotton pillow

If the space cotton pillow core is too dirty and needs to be washed, either hand washing or machine washing can be done, but please note that the selected lotion needs to be gentle. You can pat lightly when drying to help restore the elasticity of the pillow.

• Latex pillow

Do not expose latex pillows to the sun! It can be soaked in lotion, washed with light pressure, rinsed with clean water, and then use a dry towel to absorb the water, and then place in a cool place to dry.

• Down pillow

It is recommended to pat it with your hands and dry it outdoors. If the down pillow is too dirty, you can send it to a dry cleaner to clean it. If it is washed at home, it will be easy to ball up.

• Buckwheat pillow

You need to pour out the buckwheat first, spray a little vinegar on the surface of the buckwheat, and wait for ten minutes. Then wash it with water, remove it and dry it in the sun.
