In order to choose the right orthopedic pillow, it is necessary to take into account a number of important characteristics. Let's consider them in more detail.

The width is selected so that the head fits comfortably on the pillow and does not roll down during sleep. The following parameters are considered optimal:

• for people of small stature, adolescents - 30x50 cm;
• for an average build - 40x60 cm;
• for large build - 50x70 cm.

The height should be such that the muscles of the neck and cervical spine are even, without areas of tension, the head should be in line with the body - neither raised nor lowered. The optimal height of the roller is determined based on the size of the shoulder (from arm to neck) and should be approximately equal to it. For example:

• shoulder length 10 cm - roller height from 10 cm,
• shoulder length 13 cm - bolster height from 13 cm.

Children need special baby models.

The main difference between an orthopedic pillow from a regular one is special fillers. More often than not, several materials are used.

• Polyurethane foam (PPU) with memory effect, better known as Memory Foam (memorix) - softens from heat and adjusts to the shape of the human body, providing the desired orthopedic effect.
• New generation elastic polyurethane foams and gels have even more "advanced" characteristics than memorix - in particular, improved heat transfer (it is not hot to sleep on such a pillow even in summer).
• Latex is an inexpensive and effective material. It happens natural and synthetic - it is better to give preference to natural.

Each of the "orthopedic" materials (polyurethane foam, gel, latex) allows you to create pillows of both medium and high rigidity, so the buyer has the opportunity to choose the most comfortable option. It is worth following simple rules.

• A pillow that is too hard is just as unhealthy as it is too soft.
• Those who are accustomed to soft down pillows should choose models of medium hardness, it will be difficult to adapt to very hard ones right away.
• The easiest way to get used to models from polyurethane foam, especially premium ones. Models made from other materials may require 1-3 days to adapt.
• Rigid models should be chosen if you already have experience sleeping on orthopedic pillows, or such rigidity is recommended by your doctors.
• If even after several nights on a new pillow you can't get used to it, you have to toss and turn, it's hard to fall asleep, the pillow is not chosen correctly.

The materials of the cover and pillowcase are in contact with the skin of the face and neck; comfort depends on them no less than on the material of the filler. They should be pleasant to the touch and not cause allergies. It is better to give preference to natural materials, to give up synthetics. For added comfort, you can use special pillowcases soaked in soothing essential oils.

The shape of the orthopedic pillow is designed in such a way as to ensure the correct position in a certain position, therefore, when choosing, be sure to take this into account.

• Classic memorix pillows are a versatile option for sleeping in any position, since the material can take the desired shape. But pillows made of latex or gel of the classical form are not so effective; for these materials, a special, curly shape is preferable.
• The wave-shaped pillow is the most versatile option, it is suitable for sleeping both on the side and on the back. To do this, it is equipped with one or two rollers of different shapes: the small one provides the correct posture and load when sleeping on the back, the large one - on the side
• Specially designed for those who like to sleep on their side, this cushion with a notch under the shoulder relieves excess tension from the neck, creating the right support for the shoulder.
• Bagel pillows are ideal for sleeping on your back, and are also convenient to take with you on trips and business trips
