1. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of pillow materials
Memory foam: Good support when sleeping on the back, the material tends to harden when the weather gets cold, and has a smell;
Fiber: commonly used pillows, easy to collapse and turn yellow is not recommended;
PE/TPE hose 9: TPE has better durability and softness, but the disadvantage is that it is not heat-resistant, and it is easy to stick together in summer; PE has better support, can be washed directly, and can be adjusted in height;
Latex: Natural latex is relatively soft, but it tends to shatter and turn yellow after a long time of use;
Feather: Good comfort, weak support, not suitable for people with cervical spine problems.
Buckwheat husks: In the humid climate in the south, it is easy to grow moths and mold. Some manufacturers once piled up the buckwheat husks in the summer and exposed them to the sun;
