The pillow core material of the memory pillow is memory foam, a polyurethane sponge, which has the characteristics of slow rebound, can remember deformation, and automatically shape. The efficacy and function of the memory pillow is mainly not to compress the muscles, release the pressure of the cervical spine, and often use the memory pillow to shape the inherent shape of the head and neck. Are memory pillows good? How to buy, use and maintain? Below, let's learn about the knowledge of memory pillows!
What is a memory pillow?
Another name for a memory pillow.
Memory pillows are also called memory foam pillows, space memory pillows, space pillows, zero-pressure memory pillows, slow-rebound sponge pillows, polyurethane pillows, and so on.
Remember what the pillow is made of.
The memory pillow is made of memory foam, which is a kind of slow rebound material, a synthetic artificial sponge, an inert material or viscoelastic foam material, made of polyurethane, and is a soft polyurethane slow rebound foam.
The origin of the memory pillow.
Originally born by NASA, memory foam, also commonly known as space memory foam, was originally developed to be used on the seats of spacecraft to provide good impact protection for passengers. Later, this material was also widely used for civilian use.
Characteristics of memory pillows.
When the memory foam is pressed by an external force, it "flows" and shifts to conform to the contour of the contact surface of the pressurizer, so that the pressure is evenly distributed across the contact surface, and when the pressure is removed, it slowly returns to its original shape.
Remember the pros and cons of pillows
The efficacy and function of memory pillows.
The memory pillow is ergonomically designed, memory deformation, and the ability to automatically shape can fix the head, reduce the possibility of stiff neck, absorb pressure, soothe muscles, blood circulation, relieve the neck, protect the cervical spine, and the pillow that is often used will shape the inherent shape of the head and neck. Regular pillows can compress the pinna, but this is not the case with a slow-rebound pillow. The slow-rebound sponge inhibits mold growth and repels the irritating odor produced by mold growth.
Memory pillow hazards.
Memory pillows also have some disadvantages, the physical characteristics are unstable, the memory foam will feel temperature, and it will have the characteristics of heat storage in summer, and it is relatively hot to use without air conditioning. Memory pillows will harden when the temperature drops, affecting their use.
The memory pillow core will oxidize and turn yellow after being exposed to air for a long time, and release peculiar smells, and fake and shoddy products are harmful to health.
When you first start using it, you will feel suspended and unaccustomed. In addition, if you have cervical spondylosis, it is best not to use a memory foam pillow, because it is too soft and will increase the pressure on the neck of the cervical spine patient, which is not conducive to recovery.
Memory pillow shopping
Most of the good memory pillows are molded by PU shaping technology, which has better quietness and effect than cutting and molding.
The better rebound time of memory foam pillow is about 3-5 seconds. It's too short to have a slow rebound effect; Too long can make the body stiff.
The feel of high-grade memory foam is very comfortable, pinching it is like kneading dough, and the slow-rebound memory pillow of second quality either feels a little sluggish, or it is a little stiff.
Memorize the correct way to use the pillow
Memory pillow pillows, like ordinary pillows, are also divided into two sides. The side with the zipper is the reverse side. When we sleep, it's the front of the pillow. Many people ask, is the memory pillow sleeping on the high side or low? Generally speaking, the front of the memory pillow purchased is high and low on one side, and the correct way to sleep on the memory pillow is to sleep on the high side against the neck. And we should also put the small groove on the high side against our neck, preferably with our head slightly outward.
Memory pillow cleaning and maintenance
Can memory pillows be washed.
The memory foam pillow jacket is detachable and easy to clean, and can be washed by hand or machine, but its inner core does not need to be cleaned, and the water in the pillow core cannot be drained.
Memory pillow daily maintenance.
Memory foam pillows should not be exposed to the sun, must be kept away from high temperature and fire sources, sun exposure or washing will destroy the structure of memory foam, so that its service life is greatly shortened. Exposure to the sun will make the memory foam material age and will turn yellow. Keep the product dry at all times, ventilate and dry regularly, clean the dust of the pillow core with a vacuum cleaner or gently pat the pillow core with your hands every month or so, if it is accidentally wet, please immediately use a towel to absorb the water and dry it in a ventilated place.
What to do if the memory pillow hardens in winter.
Generally, the memory pillow will become stiffer with the decrease in temperature, for example, in winter, the memory pillow in some colder northern cities will be harder, and in summer, the memory foam will become softer. If you want to keep your memory foam pillow warm and comfortable all the time, it is best to control the room temperature to about 15 to 20 degrees.
Can you still use the memory pillow when it turns yellow.
Generally, it does not affect the use. In fact, the yellowing of the pillow core of memory foam is a normal oxidation phenomenon, and it is inevitable that some of the original excellent characteristics will be lost. The editor reminds us to pay attention to the minimum contact with sunlight and water.
Which is better, memory pillow or latex pillow.
Memory pillow, lazy foam will gradually soften with the addition of temperature. Therefore, if you heat it with body temperature, the lazy foam will soften in part and stick to the body along the curve of the body, and the unheated peripheral area will still retain its original elasticity, so the support is excellent. People with a little soreness in the cervical spine are suitable for memory foam pillows, and the elderly are also suitable, but not for patients with severe cervical spondylosis.
Latex pillow, latex retains the characteristics of natural rubber, so the elasticity is excellent, it is not easy to deform, and the natural latex has thousands of air permeability, so the air permeability is very good. Latex pillows are suitable for young people and infants.
