The best pillow should be able to support the cervical spine Physiological curve, and keep the cervical spine straight. The pillow should be elastic and stable, and the pillow core should be thermally compressed foam pillow core. For those who like to lie on their backs, the height of the pillow is about 8 cm; for those who like to lie on their sides, the height is about 10 cm. In the supine position, the lower edge of the pillow is best to cushion the upper edge of the scapula so that the neck cannot be empty. In fact, the real name of the pillow should be called “Neck Pillow”. Improper pillows often cause stiff neck.
