Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of pillows, in particular an orthopedic pillow. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] A pillow is an everyday item used for sleeping. Generally, a pillow is considered a filling unit used by people for comfortable sleep. From a modern medical perspective, the human spine appears straight when viewed from the front, but curves with three physiological bends when viewed from the side. To protect the normal physiological curvature of the neck and maintain normal bodily functions during sleep, the use of a pillow is necessary. A pillow typically consists of two parts: the pillow core and the pillowcase.

[0003] In recent years, increasing pressure at work and in everyday life—for example, from prolonged periods of working with the head bent, resulting in the head and neck maintaining a one-sided posture for extended periods—can easily lead to cervical syndrome. Most people spend at least a quarter to a third of their day sleeping. Paying attention to and correcting the posture of the cervical spine during sleep can have a preventative and even therapeutic effect. During sleep, the pillow is an essential tool for maintaining the normal position of the head and neck—that is, their natural curvature. This physiological curvature not only ensures the balance of the external neck muscles but is also an indispensable prerequisite for maintaining the physiological condition within the spinal canal.The central question is therefore: What type of pillow can effectively prevent or alleviate cervical syndrome during rest and sleep? Against this background, the present application develops an orthopedic pillow that ensures that the neck muscles can relax, blood circulation can be improved, and neck pain can be relieved during rest and sleep.
