Neck pillows

The neat outline of the bagel, delicate fabric materials, a variety of contrasts and patterns in the design - all this is embodied in the neck pillows, loved by many inventions. A cute innovation allows you to relax on tiring journeys, comfortably fixing your neck in the desired position.

The classification of travel neck pillows surprises with a variety of criteria, among them there is one, according to which all products are divided into inflatable and stuffed. Each type of universal travel device has its own advantages:

1. Inflatable cushions provide comfortable operation, the outer material of such pillows resembles the delicate texture of velvet.
2. Printed foods are good for the beneficial qualities of the ingredients they contain, but they take up a lot of space.

From this it follows that for exhausting trips in motor vehicles it is better to use a padded variation of a comfortable neck saver; for flights, use the services of an inflatable that fits comfortably in the passenger's hand luggage.

What does a neck pillow look like? The visual component of the universal sleeping device has few similarities with the standard pillow, which occupies a dominant position in the wide expanses of the bed. The comfortable attribute has a neat crescent shape, which should be worn around the neck, clearly fixing the head in a natural position. This is necessary in order to give a fragile neck a long-awaited opportunity to take a break from every second stress.

Besides, pillows perform the following functions:

• prevention of pain;
• protection from the development of osteochondrosis;
• reduced fatigue;
• stimulating blood circulation;
• relieving tension from the muscles of the neck;
• elimination of headaches, dizziness;
• healthy sleep.

Many materials are used as the "insides" of the neck pillow, among which:

1. Latex, easily takes the shape of the head of a sleeping pillow owner, as well as a horseshoe that quickly returns to its original position. In addition, the substance is hypoallergenic and easy to wash.
2. Polyester, the main advantage of these small balls is their low cost and an arsenal of functionalities that are not inferior to more expensive representatives of the class.
3. Cooling substance, making an interesting replacement for a traditional pillow.
4. Buckwheat husk, a leader among other ingredients for sustainability and amazing orthopedic properties. A product made from a natural ingredient will faithfully serve its owner for many years.
5. Bamboo fibers, which create a high elasticity of the product, making it also durable and prevent allergic reactions.
6. Viscoelastic foam, an expensive newcomer to the published product market. Its advantages include maximum flexibility, which will allow the tired person to enjoy the gentle waves of muscle relaxation.

In addition, among the fillers, you can find even more exotic variations of the materials used, for example, seaweed or cherry pits.Such products will gently massage the skin, having a positive effect on blood circulation, however, they will take some getting used to.

Neat pillows can have different shapes that affect their functionality. In addition to the traditional bagel, which improves blood circulation and relieves the cervical spine, there are other models, including:

• Collar, with an additional neck brace.
• Headrest, more like a standard rectangular (square) pillow.
• Retainer, the strange design of which resembles a rocker and allows a person to gently lower his head.
• Hooded pillow, which can be used as a special sleep mask.

Neck pillows differ from each other not only in composition, but also in design solutions.... Among the comfortable sleeping devices, you can find a real variety of colors, ranging from classic blue to abstract patterns of modernity.

Pillows for the little ones. In addition to the classic monochromatic variations, you can find bright objects that resemble a child's toy rather than a comfortable sleeping bag. Today, animal-shaped pillows with cute plush heads, tails and paws are popular.
