Why can't couples sleep on the same pillow?

As the saying goes, "A couple who sleeps on the same bed is a happy couple", but now some people say that couples can't sleep on the same pillow. Why is that? Is it because of the person or the pillow? Do you know why couples can't sleep on the same pillow? Do you know what the secret between couples' sleeping positions and pillows is? Read the article below and you will know!

Reasons why couples cannot sleep together

No matter what time it is, we all know that couples usually sleep in the same bed. Not only do they wear the same clothes, but they also use many items in life together. Even the clothes they wear now belong to couples.

Spiritually speaking, it is normal that every couple hopes to stay together and grow old together. Different times have different aesthetic standards. In the Tang Dynasty, women had to be plump, and even horses were fat.

But the Book of Songs says: "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is desired by the gentleman." Therefore, nowadays wives are all thin.

1Why can't a couple share the same bed?

Nowadays, thinness is considered beautiful instead of fatness. Most girls are thinner and have smaller shoulders and frames, while men have larger shoulders and frames. So if a couple shares a pillow, who should decide the height of the pillow?

If the pillow is made according to the female shoulder standard, the pillow will have to be thinner and lower. However, when a man lies on his back, his cervical spine will be bent backwards, and when he lies on his side, both sides will be bent to one side. Long-term abnormal stretching of the neck muscles will easily lead to stiff neck and cervical displacement. Conversely, if the pillow is made according to the man's height, the woman's cervical spine will also have problems. Therefore, couples should not sleep on the same pillow.

But some people may say that we all use different pillows, so why do I have problems with my neck? In fact, the cervical spondylosis pillow is only one of the reasons. Many people have been sleeping for decades and don’t know how to use a pillow. Some people also change pillows frequently, thinking that the more expensive the better, something like the one researched by experts. In fact, this is not scientific at all.

Because of this theory, many businesses have been offended. In fact, from the perspective of the businesses, it does not harm their interests, but creates benefits for them. That is, they can make one more pillow, which is more conducive to the sale of pillows, isn't it?

From a medical point of view, those are unqualified pillows. We would not cover up our conscience to make money from them, so they were all rejected. Of course, if I don’t do it, someone else will. So for people who come to me for treatment of cervical spondylosis, I will tailor-make pillows made of natural materials for them. It greatly improves the quality of sleep and consolidates the treatment of cervical vertebrae!

2 Hidden dangers of pillows

According to a survey, 60% of the respondents said that they knew that pillows were related to cervical spondylosis and sleep quality, but almost no one knew how often they should change their pillows. Some of the "best" ones even haven't changed their pillows for 3 years, which is incredible!

Why is this so? Because they think the pillow is not dirty, so why should it be replaced? It is this misunderstanding that makes people blur the service life of pillows. In addition to the relationship between the cervical spine and sleep, pillows can also cause acne. If you have allergies, it is very normal to suffer from asthma. This result is not groundless. Experts tell us that if a person has not changed his pillow for more than two years, there are millions of dust mites and dust mite corpses, as well as millions of fungal spores, such as Aspergillus, hidden in his pillow. In fact, many elderly people are reluctant to change their pillows because they think they can still be used, and they often take out their pillows to dry in the sun, which makes them feel very clean!

This is totally insufficient. If conditions permit, you can use a low-temperature dryer to clean the pillow. Yes, if conditions permit, you can use a low-temperature dryer to clean the pillow. It can effectively kill dust mites and remove dirt and dust mite corpses. However, most families do not have such professional equipment, so replacing a new pillow should be included in the necessary expenses of the family!

Director Robert of the American Sleep Life Research Institute believes that based on the survival period of dust mites being 2-3 months, replacing pillows every six months is a relatively normal frequency. He also mentioned that mattresses are not meant to be used until they die. Generally, mattresses are advertised to last 20 years, but for health reasons, it is best to replace them every 10 years or so. In addition, frequent changes of the surface during daily use can effectively reduce allergens!
