Many pediatricians recommend orthopedic pillows for children. Going to the store, remember that the higher the orthopedic coefficient of the product, the more effective the pillow will be.
The right pillow is not a luxury at all, but, on the contrary, a very necessary thing in the house. Anyone needs a good sleep, which is why it is so important to choose a pillow by size, degree of rigidity, shape and material. You need to be even more careful when choosing a pillow for your child.
Orthopedic coefficient of the pillow
The main factor in choosing a pillow is its orthopedic ratio. This coefficient indicates the degree of manifestation of the orthopedic effect. The factors that determine the orthopedic effect are the ability of the pillow to quickly take the shape of the human body and the ability to maintain it. These conditions should complement each other to the maximum, and that is why they are multiplied when calculating the coefficient.
For example, some pillow takes the shape of 4 points, but retains the shape of 3 points. Thus, the orthopedic factor will be 12. If one of the factors is absent, then the orthopedic factor will be 0.
Orthopedic pillows for children
It is important for each parent to correctly and as comfortably as possible equip a place to sleep for their child. And this is all for a reason: the development and health of the baby, as well as his mood, directly depend on good rest and sleep, in particular.
In modern society, children's orthopedic pillows are gaining popularity. And this is absolutely correct: based on the anatomical features of the body, a person needs an elevated support during sleep. The presence of such a support helps to completely relieve the load from the spine. The fulfillment of this condition is the prevention of spinal curvature. Thus, if from the very childhood a child sleeps on an uncomfortable pillow, then in the future he may face many problems - from curvature of the spine, the presence of osteochondrosis to a violation of the blood supply to the brain.
To avoid unpleasant consequences, it is recommended to use a children's orthopedic pillow. This pillow has a special shape: in the center of it there is a shallow notch in order to correctly position the head. Along the edges of the pillow there are low sides, which exclude the possibility of deformation in the back of the head. Pillows of this structure are intended for the smallest children - from birth to 1, 5 years old.
For older children, the design of the orthopedic pillow is slightly different - it has the shape of a rectangle, and a thickened roller is located on one side of it. The size of the roller directly depends on the width of the child's shoulder.
Children's orthopedic pillows, as a rule, are made from natural materials and also have environmentally friendly fillers (polyester, holofiber, buckwheat husk and others).
How much is a quality pillow for a child
Quality orthopedic pillows for children are produced by such manufacturers as Vefer, Ormatek, HUKLA, PerDormire and others. Their cost is different, starting from 1000 rubles. If you want to buy a good copy, then the average price of a pillow made of quality material, made in Germany or Italy, will be from 3000 to 5000 rubles.
