Differences of using polyester (artificial) fibers instead of natural fibers (cotton) in sleeping goods
Polyester synthetic fibers and natural cotton, cotton retains moisture and easily cleanses the skin. Polyester is a synthetic fiber. It doesn't absorb water and keeps moisture and heat, so it causes us to sweat more in summer and cools our bed more in winter.
On the other hand, polyester fibers The polyester used in pillows and sleep goods are obtained from recycled materials such as all kinds of soft drink and water bottles, etc., from waste. After washing and removing impurities, these materials are melted and then become fibers. These fibers are very dull and unsightly, they use additional materials to polish and make the fibers transparent, these materials are extremely harmful to health. Over time, these chemicals are emitted and cause respiratory and skin problems.
Pillow health

Standard sleep pillow
In choosing a standard sleeping pillow, in addition to its appearance and ingredients, its content has also been influential. The appearance of the pillow should fill the hollow of the neck so that the neck, shoulder and shoulder areas are not in a state of pressure and conflict. This causes fatigue and pain in the shoulder, neck and even head areas. Therefore, the best shape of the pillow is round, which can fill the hollow of the neck.
According to the theory of many orthopedic specialists and subspecialists, a good and standard pillow should not be so hard that the head rests on it. The head and neck area should not be placed higher than the spine area and should not be so soft that the head sinks into the pillow. A standard pillow should be firm enough to keep the head and neck parallel to the spine just like when we are standing.
