Memory foam pillows are popular for their ability to adaptively adjust to the shape of the head and neck, providing some therapeutic benefits for minor pain, prone sleeping, and cervical spondylosis. Several factors influence it, including its physical properties, usage and care.
Memory foam neck pillows are made of polyurethane foam material, which has high molecular weight, high molecular flexibility and good physical properties. This material can adaptively adjust according to the shape of the head and neck, provide certain support for the cervical spine, and effectively relieve the burden on the cervical spine.
The lifespan of a memory foam pillow mainly depends on its quality and usage. Generally speaking, the service life of ordinary memory foam pillows is about 1 to 2 years. However, high-quality orthopedic memory foam pillows, especially high-density memory foam pillows (such as 90D or above), can have a service life of more than two years, or even three or four years.
Cleaning and maintenance: The lifespan of a pillow is also related to its cleaning and maintenance. Not cleaning it for a long time may lead to bacterial growth and affect the service life of the pillow. Medical experts recommend that memory foam pillows should be replaced every two years and aired once a week to keep them clean, but exposure to the sun should be avoided.
Slow rebound effect: The service life of a pillow is also related to the maintenance of its slow rebound effect. If you find that the slow rebound effect of the pillow becomes worse, that is, it takes longer to return to its original shape after being pressed, then the memory foam pillow needs to be replaced.
Avoid exposure to the sun: Memory foam is a polymer material, and ultraviolet rays will degrade and cross-link the polyurethane, causing the pillow core to become hard, brittle, and lose its resilience. Therefore, just wash the pillowcase and keep the pillow core in a cool and ventilated place.
Do not wash: Memory foam is highly absorbent. Exposure to the sun after washing will destroy the molecular structure and cause the pillow core to lose texture.
Keep it dry: Memory foam pillows should be kept dry, ventilated and aired regularly, and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or gently patted every month to remove dust. If they accidentally get wet, absorb the moisture immediately to prevent mold.
In order to maintain the performance of your memory foam pillow and extend its lifespan, it is recommended to clean and maintain it regularly, and replace it if performance degradation is noticed. With proper use and care, memory foam pillows can provide you with longer, comfortable sleep.
