Do we need a pillow when sleeping?
Yes. It is necessary to sleep on a pillow, especially for those with cervical vertebra problems, if you do not sleep on a pillow for a long time, it will aggravate the cervical vertebra problem.

Of course, if the pillow is not suitable or used improperly, it will cause discomfort. The accurate position of the pillow should be on the neck and support your head.
How to choose the height of the pillow
Pillows are mainly divided into high pillows and low pillows. The choice of height is affected by sleeping position, personal habits, shoulder width and weight.
