Abstract
Nowadays, with the change of lifestyle, most physical activities are replaced by machines, sitting posture has become the most common learning posture and office posture, and with this is the trend of cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis is gradually younger, many people are suffering from cervical pain, lumbar pain. Sleep occupies one-third of life, and poor sleeping posture can put improper pressure on the cervical and lumbar spine, which will bring irreversible and harmful consequences if not taken seriously. To this end, this study combines the user succession theory, under the guidance of the basic ergonomic measurement and verification methods, the design of different functions and physiological sleep pillow, in the structure of easy to fix, can adapt to a variety of sleeping positions, in function can help improve the physiological curvature of the adverse trend of change, to protect the cervical and lumbar spine.
