The role and efficacy of gel pillow

1. Strong sense of comfort: when the gel pillow supports the human head, it can quickly absorb and disperse the pressure of the head sinking 360 degrees, thereby reducing the reaction force of the pillow core to the head. At the same time, the gel pillow can meet the inclination change in any direction according to the sleeping position, so as to achieve independent support and relaxation of each muscle tissue.

2. Strong cooling effect: The best feature of the gel pillow is coolness. The cool touch can reduce the temperature of the contact surface with the pillow core by about 2°C, which does not seem to reduce much, but it is definitely a cool thing in summer. After the head touches the pillow core, cooling can reduce the activity of the human cerebral cortex, so that the brain that has been excited for a whole day quickly calms down and quickly finds a sleep state. For people who suffer from insomnia due to stress, the advent of gel pillows is nothing short of a blessing.

3. Good touch: Gel is a solid in liquid, its special touch is unmatched by other materials, and has high viscoelasticity and special physical properties. This substance, which is very similar to human skin, is known as “artificial skin”.

3 Differences between gel pillows and latex pillows
1. Gel pillow: Gel is a solid in a liquid and has a special touch. Gel pillows made of gel have many advantages, such as breathable, constant temperature, insect-proof, etc. The gel properties of gel pillows are very similar to human skin. Gel is widely made into various gel pillows due to its good skin-friendly properties. Using gel pillows is not only comfortable, but also has good health care functions, especially for the elderly who have poor sleep, it is a good choice. The pillow shape of the gel pillow has been scientifically designed to conform to the curve of our human head to a greater extent, allowing our brain to quickly reach a state of relaxation, so as to better enter a deep sleep state. Many of the bases of the gel pillow are made of polyurethane, which is the material in the space suit, which is used to release the external pressure of astronauts, has a memory function, and is better than latex pillows in protecting the cervical spine.

2. Latex pillows: Latex can be divided into three categories: natural, synthetic and man-made. General latex pillows are made of natural latex, which is milky white. To prevent coagulation of natural latex due to the action of microorganisms and enzymes, ammonia and other stabilizers are usually added. It can prevent mites and insects, and also has a breathable effect. Latex pillows are helpful for some consumers with poor respiratory tract, and they can also enjoy the 24-hour automatic shaping function that is not hot in summer and not cold in winter. After adding memory foam, the muscles and cervical vertebrae will never be under pressure, and the Qi and blood of the meridians will remain unobstructed. But the disadvantage of latex pillow* is that it is easy to turn yellow and break easily over time. Many people can’t stand the smell of some inferior latex pillows.
