Orthopedic pillows: comfort and health every day

Often experiencing discomfort in the neck or back, we sin on an uncomfortable pillow. Sleeping uncomfortably or sitting all day on an uncomfortable chair, being on the road for a long time, this will definitely affect the condition of the spine and well-being. And how can you help your spine?

In many cases, an orthopedic pillow can help. Specific body curves require a separate approach in shape and fillers when making pillows. Whether it is a sleeping pillow, a travel pillow or a lumbar pillow, they will all be made according to the anatomical needs of the body.

An orthopedic pillow — is not just an accessory for sleeping, but an important element of caring for the health of the spine, neck and digestive organs. Its special shape ensures the correct body position during rest, helps relieve muscle tension and prevent the development of chronic pain. In our online medical equipment store MED1 you can buy an orthopedic pillow for various needs — sleep, sitting, recovery after surgery or for reflux prevention.

Buy a reflux pillow

The reflux pillow deserves special attention. It has a wedge shape and is designed to raise the upper part of the body during sleep. This reduces the likelihood of gastric juice entering the esophagus, which is the main cause of heartburn and other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

If you are bothered by heartburn at night or you suffer from GERD, you should buy a reflux pillow – it will be an effective way to relieve symptoms without medication.

An equally popular solution is a wedge pillow, which is widely used not only for reflux, but also in the postoperative period, to support the back or legs, as well as in the care of bedridden patients. Its versatility and convenience make it useful both at home and in medical institutions. You can buy a wedge pillow in different versions — in size, filling material and angle of inclination.

Where to buy an orthopedic pillow?

Conventionally, there are several options for orthopedic pillows based on their shape:

• A classic rectangular pillow for sleeping under the head.

• A crescent-shaped pillow for travel supports the head in a sitting position.
• A pillow with a thickening in the center for the lower back.

An orthopedic pillow will improve the quality of sleep, help relieve tension in the cervical and lumbar spine, improve blood supply to the brain, and help fight headaches and osteochondrosis. This product can be attributed to medical products for the home, which significantly help to improve well-being. 

Modern manufacturers fill pillows with various fillers depending on the field of use. For example, it can be:

• Latex is a natural hypoallergenic material that takes the shape of the body well and adapts, does not retain moisture and is well permeable to air, does not allow harmful microorganisms to multiply, is easy to clean and is quite durable.
• Memory polyurethane foam is a viscoelastic material with a memory function. It is softer than latex, does not create support for the head and quickly takes its original shape. These pillows are also hypoallergenic, adapt to the needs of the body, responding to heat and weight, but at the same time are cheaper.
• Buckwheat husk is a fashionable filler chosen by fans of environmentally friendly, natural products. Such a pillow is quite hard, but at the same time it also takes the shape of the body, in addition, the husks, rubbing against each other, create a micromassage effect, improving blood circulation.

However, it should be said that despite all its versatility, an orthopedic pillow is not a panacea. If you have problems with the musculoskeletal and vascular system, you should definitely consult a specialist and not self-medicate. But a properly selected pillow will significantly improve the effect of therapy, improve sleep, and provide an opportunity to have a quality rest.
