The following is a comparative explanation of shredded memory foam pillows and whole memory foam pillows:
1. Differences in supporting characteristics
shredded memory cotton: Particle flow disperses pressure, filling the shoulder and neck gaps more snugly when sleeping on the side
Whole piece memory cotton: one-piece molding provides uniform support, suitable for reclining people who are accustomed to fixed postures
2. Adaptability to sleeping position
Advantages of shredded cotton: The particles quietly recombine with turning over, and it is not easy to wake up when switching positions in the middle of the night
Cotton short board: When turning over, the head needs to "break free" from the sunken groove, and the range of motion is limited
3. Flexibility in height adjustment
Core advantage of crushed cotton: The zipper can be opened and closed freely to increase or decrease the filling amount (precise height adjustment for cervical patients)
The whole cotton cannot be adjusted: the height cannot be changed after shaping, and the wrong specification can only be replaced
4. Comparison of breathability
Crushed cotton slightly better: particle gaps increase air circulation (but still not as good as natural materials)
Weakness of whole cotton: compact structure with obvious heat storage, prone to sweating in summer
5. Long term use changes
Risk of cotton breakage: The particles gradually break into powder, and new particles need to be replenished after 1-2 years
Cotton degradation: The overall collapse is irreversible, and the edges are prone to breakage due to folding
6. Difficulty in cleaning and maintenance
Both cannot be washed with water: local stains on the entire cotton block are more difficult to penetrate and clean
Clever solution for crushing cotton: In case of severe contamination, the surface particles can be partially replaced
7. Suitable for the target audience
Choose crushed memory foam: → People who frequently flip over at night → People who have a need to adjust the height of the pillow → People who like the wrapping feeling but dislike the "deep struggle feeling"
Choose a whole piece of memory foam: → Lazy party pursuing "lying down and fitting" → Sensitive to the subtle sound of particle flow
