Why do you need a neck pillow in a car?

The main function of a car neck pillow is to support the cervical spine. It helps:

• Reduce strain on the neck and shoulder muscles. Thanks to the support, the muscles relax, which prevents them from overexerting themselves and causing pain.
• Improve blood circulation. Correct neck position promotes normal blood flow, which improves tissue nutrition and prevents headaches.
• Provide comfort on the road. The pillow creates additional comfort, especially on long trips, allowing you to avoid fatigue and tension.
• Prevent the development of osteochondrosis. Regular use of a pillow can prevent diseases of the cervical spine.

How to choose a neck pillow for the car?

When choosing a pillow, you should pay attention to several key parameters:

• Shape: The most common are U-shaped pillows that support the neck from the sides. There are also roller and rectangular pillows.
• Material: It is better to choose hypoallergenic and breathable materials, such as cotton, linen or memory foam.
• Size: The pillow should fit your neck and provide firm but comfortable support.
• Attachment: It is important that the pillow is securely attached to the headrest and does not slip during movement.
• Filler: popular fillers are holofiber, polyurethane foam, and buckwheat husk.

The right neck pillow will make your trips comfortable and safe, preventing fatigue and neck pain. When choosing, consider individual characteristics and preferences to get the most out of this accessory.
