Imagine: you have a dream that you are a space traveler and somehow miraculously ended up on a planet that is exactly like ours. There are the same people, trees, sky, cats and sparrows, houses and flowers. But you know for sure that this is not Earth. You are warmly greeted, warmed, fed, put to bed. The bed is comfortable, the food is delicious, the blanket is warm. But where is the pillow, you ask. "What is it - a pillow?" - the aliens are perplexed, having told you everything about their planet and listened to you - and you did not surprise each other with anything. And then - a pillow ... It turned out that it does not exist as such on this planet. Here it is - the difference!
Orthopedic pillow: what is it?
- An orthopedic pillow, - you say, - is a very comfortable thing. Its essence is to maintain the physiological position of the neck and spine even during sleep, regardless of whether you sleep on your side, stomach or back. In order for the body to get a good rest during sleep, it must be comfortable. And it is not only about the mattress and the bed itself. The quality of your sleep depends on the right choice of pillow.
- So this po-sushka - the aliens slowly draw out the syllables of an unfamiliar word - is needed for sleeping? Or can it be used in some other way?
- There are pillows for sleeping, there are pillows for sitting, pillows for legs; there are pillows for children and pillows for adults, there are pillows for expectant mothers, pillows for feeding babies. In turn, pillows for sleeping are not only for the head, but also for the back, and for the legs.
- And how to choose the right pillow? How do you determine which model will be comfortable for you?
- You need to consider the structure of the body, the positions in which you prefer to indulge in sleep, take into account the firmness of the mattress and, most of all, trust your own body. For example, if you like to sleep on your side and have broad shoulders, then an orthopedic pillow with a high bolster will do: the head, raised by the width of the shoulders, will not fall below its anatomical position. Thus, the neck will remain at its natural level relative to the spine.
How to choose an orthopedic pillow?
If you are more comfortable sleeping on your back or stomach, the pillow should be thinner - again, so that the head is not too high in relation to the plane of the body, to the axis of the spine.
If the bed has a soft mattress, the pillow should also be thinner - because under the weight of the body, the mattress sags and in order to keep the head in a physiological position, a not so high bolster of the pillow is required. Accordingly, for a firmer mattress you need a higher pillow.
- How is the pillow made? What is inside?
- Pillows can be different in filling. It can be down, or wool, synthetic padding or holofiber. This is how ordinary pillows are made. However, I - or rather, my neck - like orthopedic pillows more, which just contribute to the correct position of the spine in the cervical region and, as a result, a good night's sleep. If you are comfortable in your sleep, you toss and turn less: when nothing is pressing, when you are in a comfortable position, then there is no need to toss and turn, and you sleep well. I will bring you pillows from Earth, but I will not tell you all the details.
…You sleep in short, jerky phases on an unfamiliar planet, Bespodushki (that’s what you called it to yourself). You are uncomfortable, your neck and back ache, and it seems as if real sleep will never come. Once again you try to win at least one hour of comfortable sleep from the night, but at some point you realize that everything is in vain. Then you sit up in bed with a sharp jerk – and discover that you are sleeping at home, on your own planet. That you are not a space traveler at all. And your favorite orthopedic pillow is lying one and a half meters away from you. It turns out that when you were eloquently explaining to the slow-witted aliens about the need to sleep with a pillow, you pushed it off the bed with a sweeping gesture – and so you suffered half the night without a pillow :)

Orthopedic pillow with a memory effect, which you can buy in our online store www.olvi.ua, is filled with a material of a special structure that has a shape memory. This material is called memory Foam, according to wiki – "modified low-elasticity polyurethane foam". Imagine: it was invented for astronauts to reduce the load, as part of the NASA space program.
The porous structure of the material is a multitude of cells with an open shape. When you press on the material and under the influence of the heat of the human body - when you lie down on the pillow - the cells are compressed, and the pillow takes the only correct shape that holds your head in the correct position. As a result, the neck is not tense, the relaxed muscles rest, and blood circulation is not impaired.
If you stop pressing on the pillow - get up from it, the material will retain the contours of your head and neck that it remembered, and after a few seconds it will return to its original state. This can be observed visually - the surface of the pillow slowly rises and takes its original shape.
One of our new memory pillows - beauty pillow Butterfly with a cosmetic effect - prevents the appearance of wrinkles. "Space" filler material and a specially designed shape - guard your beauty :)
