How to Choose a Cervical Pillow

In order to choose which pillow to buy for neck pain and understand what it should look like, we need to know what features make it effective for neck pain sufferers.

A neck pillow is no ordinary pillow!

A Cervical Pillow is a device that must have features that lead to the resolution of the problem and the prevention of pain related to an incorrect position during sleep.

Compression and crushing of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs and nerves is the primary cause of the most common and disabling symptoms of cervicalgia, such as:  

• Head spins 
• Dizziness
• Sense of lurching 
• Nausea
• Headache
• Neurological impairment of the upper limbs 

What the Cervical pillow should look like:

An effective cervical pillow must have fulfilled the following functions:

• Distribute the weight of the head and support it in a way that decompresses the vertebrae and allows the muscles to relax
• Adapt to changes in position in very few moments 
• A specific height based on the position in which you sleep
• A generously sized surface to prevent the head from slipping in sleep
• Be breathable and hypoallergenic
• 6.Be reliable, ensuring good endurance over time
  
  
  

Which pillow to use for neck pain

To ensure maintenance of an ideal posture and adequate support for the musculoskeletal structures of the neck and head, the most important specifications to evaluate are height and adequate firmness .

Pillow height: is a high or low pillow better for Cervical?

To understand whether a high or low pillow is better, first it is necessary to know how to use the neck pillow. In fact, the main function of the neck pillow is to support the head and neck, keeping them aligned with the spine.

When the question arises as to whether a high or low pillow is better for cervical pain, the answer is that there are no standard sizes for a pillow, but it is necessary to find the right balance between the height and composition of the pillow in relation to the physical structure of the person using it and the position assumed during sleep: side or supine (the prone position, on the other hand, i.e., on the stomach, is universally discouraged, because it prevents complete relaxation of the neck muscles and could also promote gastric reflux).

Whether you are in the habit of sleeping supine or sideways, choosing a neck pillow with the right height is important, because this should be optimized for each: a little higher the pillow for those who sleep sideways, slightly less for those who sleep face up. The heights we have identified as ideal are 13cm for supine and 11cm for side sleeping. 

Cushion Width

It is also necessary to consider the width of the pillow, which should be such that it can accommodate the width of the shoulders and prevent the head from slipping to one side during the night. Finally, it is also necessary to consider a decent firmness of the neck pillow so that it can properly support the head.

What does a new generation Cervical pillow look like?

To explain what a new generation cervical pillow should look like and why a Pharmaflex pillow outperforms Memory Foam pillows in quality and effectiveness, we have to start with AirCell: our new technology that is more advanced than any other orthopedic or memory pillow on the market, produced entirely in Italy.

As filling for our pillows we use a new combination of materials structured on 5 layers of different consistencies , caiscuno of which performs a very specific function. This technology represents the evolution of the now common Memory Foam pillows and has proven to be up to 3 times more effective in solving cervical problems.

We have also provided an asymmetrical double wave design, with a different height on each side.

AirCell Technology

AirCell is an evolved and innovative foam material designed to address the shortcomings of common Memory Foam and provide real, decisive support for those suffering from cervical problems. A standard that needed 5 years of study, analysis and field testing before it was put on the market.The characteristics that make a Pharmaflex cervical pillow made of AirCell compared to a memory foam mattress are as follows:

• A complex structure composed of 5 layers of different materials.
• A higher density than the average Memory pillow (45kg/mc versus the 35-40 kg/mc normally found on the market).
• Very high breathability, thanks to the "open cell" configuration that ensures constant air exchange, preventing the formation of annoying moisture zones while sleeping.
• A high degree of resilience (the compressive strength) that makes the cushion not deform over time. 
• Maximum comfort due to its ability to adapt to the pressures exerted by body weight, returning to its original shape within fractions of a second.
• "Asymmetrical double wave" design : two sides with different sizes, designed for supine (face-up) and side sleeping positions.
• Totally hypoallergenic, elastic and crushproof.
• Class-1 Medical Device.
  
  
  
  
  
  

Unlike common cervical memory foam pillows, Pharmaflex Cervical offers 5 layers of different densities against cervicalgia. 

5 Different densities against cervicalgia. 

Pharmaflex's New 5-Layer Cervical Pillow Technology eliminates neck pain through vertebral decompression .

• Layer1: AirCell for maximum comfort. A special open-cell formula that is completely permeable to air.
• Layer 2: Muscle Decontraction. Riduce pressure points and relaxes the spinal and semi-spinal muscles of the head and neck, easing cervical tension. 
• Layer 3: Vertebral decompression. Promotes spacing between C1 and C7 vertebrae, reducing compression and crushing of discs. In fact, bringing the vertebrae too close together is the main cause of dizziness, loss of balance and neck pain.
• Layer 4: Ventilation and breathability. Creates greater air passage between the polyurethane foam cells of the filling, giving you coolness in summer and warmth in winter. It also prevents the growth of mold, dust mites and bacteria.
• Layer 5: AirCell for unmatched comfort comfort.

The combination of these features has resulted in Pharmaflex Cervical, a state-of-the-art orthopedic cervical pillow, classified as a Class-1 Medical Device and guaranteed for 2 years.
Our orthopedic pillow has all the functional features needed by those who need to solve and prevent problems related to cervicalgia.

Carbon Fiber Pillowcase

The carbon fiber fabric of the covers that accompany all our products is also an innovation for better sleep. In fact, the carbon fiber, forms a real wall against electromagnetic fields and allows the non-risky dispersion of electrostatic charges. Discharging the accumulated electrostatic charge will allow you to sleep more deeply and rest better.

In addition, from a hygienic point of view, carbon guarantees the following properties:

• Antiviral
• Antibacterial
• Hypoallergenic
• Durable and elastic
• Thermally insulating (both in winter and summer) 
• Dura up to 5 times longer than a regular sub-bedding.
