At the moment of pursuing high-quality sleep and cervical health, the flexible tube neck protection sleeping pillow has entered the public's field of vision with its unique curve design, which contains in-depth research and ingenious application of the physiological data of human neck.
The human neck, when viewed from the side, has a natural convex physiological curvature, which is the key form to maintain the health of the cervical spine and ensure the smooth operation of nerves and blood vessels in the spinal canal. At the beginning of research and development, the designer widely collected neck data samples of people of different ages, genders, and body types, and used advanced three-dimensional scanning technology and medical image analysis to accurately outline the contours of the neck bones and muscles. For adults, the normal physiological lordosis angle of the cervical spine is mostly in the range of 20° - 40°. Based on this, the neck support area of the pillow is carefully shaped to fit the cervical curve closely during sleep, evenly distribute the weight of the head, relieve the pressure on the intervertebral disc, and avoid strain caused by the neck hanging in the air, excessive backward or forward bending when lying flat.
Considering the various sleeping positions, when lying on the back, the center of the pillow is slightly concave and the neck is moderately raised, which fits the straight line between the head, neck and shoulder, allowing the airway to open naturally, helping to breathe smoothly and preventing snoring and sleep apnea; the curve height is determined based on the statistical average shoulder width and head size to ensure stable support of the head, mostly in the range of about 5-8 cm, which is suitable for the supine cervical spine posture of most people. In the side-lying position, the lateral curvature of the neck increases. At this time, the curve of the side sleeping area of the pillow is higher and fuller, about 8-12 cm, fitting the line from the ear to the shoulder, which not only avoids pressure on the ear, but also supports the difference between the neck and the shoulder, ensuring the relaxation of the lateral muscles and ligaments of the cervical spine, and reducing the risk of stiff neck.
For adolescents with growing cervical spine, the data focuses on tracking the dynamics of bone development, and the curve design is more flexible and slightly flat, conforming to growth and standardizing sleeping posture; for the elderly, due to disc degeneration and bone hyperplasia, the curve accommodates stiff joints, focusing on relieving pain points and height fine-tuning. Based on multi-dimensional physiological information of the human neck, the curve of the flexible tube neck protection sleeping pillow has been optimized through repeated simulation tests and user feedback, becoming an intimate companion for protecting the health of the cervical spine during sleep.
