What are the precautions for using and maintaining memory foam neck traction pillow

Correct posture to ensure traction effect
Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is designed to relieve cervical fatigue, improve cervical curvature, and provide scientific traction. Therefore, during use, the correct posture is the key to ensure the normal function of traction. Supine is the most recommended position for use. The groove in the middle of the pillow is used to fit the physiological curve of the cervical spine, and the elevated parts on both sides are used to stabilize the head to prevent side tilt. Before use, you should relax your body and naturally lean your head back to the traction area. Do not force your head or twist your neck.
Don't rush for results when using it. It is recommended to start with 5 minutes each time for the first time, and gradually increase to 15-20 minutes to avoid muscle tension or discomfort caused by excessive traction. If you feel tingling, numbness, or dizziness during use, you should stop using it immediately and consult a professional physician.
The frequency of use needs to be scientific and reasonable
In order to achieve the best neck traction effect, it is recommended to use it 1-2 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time. Long-term persistence can effectively relieve problems such as cervical anteversion and muscle stiffness. High frequency or long-term use will not improve the traction effect, but may cause excessive traction on the neck. Therefore, the Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is more suitable for regular, gradual intervention use rather than continuous, long-term dependent use.
For people who face computers or look down for a long time, it is recommended to use the pillow for neck traction recovery during lunch breaks or at night to avoid high-intensity use at work that affects blood circulation.

Keep the use environment dry and ventilated
The Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is made of high-density memory foam, which is sensitive to temperature and humidity. Long-term use in a humid environment may cause the memory foam to become damp and soften, affecting the support and traction effect. Therefore, the use environment should be kept ventilated and dry, and the pillow should not be placed in a closed, humid or direct sunlight place for a long time.
If long-term storage is required, the pillow should be placed in a dry bag and placed in a ventilated place to avoid compression, folding or stacking under heavy objects to prevent the inner core from deforming.

The pillowcase should be cleaned regularly
The Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is generally equipped with an outer pillowcase, which is made of breathable skin-friendly fabrics such as ice silk, bamboo fiber or cotton and linen blends. Due to direct contact with the neck skin, long-term use is prone to accumulate sweat, sebum and dust, which may cause bacteria to grow and affect the user experience.
It is recommended to wash the pillowcase once a week or every two weeks. Use mild detergent when washing, avoid using bleach, high-temperature washing or dry cleaning. Some pillowcases support machine washing, and should be dried naturally after washing, not exposed to the sun.

The inner core is not allowed to be washed
The inner core of the Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is a warm-sensing slow-rebound memory foam, which is not waterproof. Direct washing or long-term contact with water will cause the memory foam to absorb water and swell, damage the structure and even mold. The correct cleaning method is to wipe it gently with a dry cloth, or use a vacuum cleaner to clean the surface dust. If there are local stains, spray a small amount of alcohol on the cloth and wipe it gently, and then dry it in a ventilated place.
After the inner core is damp, it should be dried immediately in a cool and ventilated place. It is strictly forbidden to use a hair dryer or heating equipment to force drying to prevent deformation or aging of the material.

Not suitable for unconventional positions or special purposes
Memory Foam Neck Traction Pillow is designed only for cervical traction and sleep assistance, and cannot replace ordinary sleeping pillows for all-day use. It should not be used for waist, legs or as a cushion for long-term pressure. Incorrect use may cause uneven force on memory foam, thereby shortening the life of the product.
For users with cervical implants, severe spinal lesions or postoperative recovery period, this type of traction pillow should be used with caution under the guidance of a professional physician.

Avoid exposure to the sun and high temperature
Memory foam is prone to aging, uneven foaming, and decreased elasticity under high temperature conditions. Therefore, during daily use or drying, avoid placing the pillow on an outdoor balcony in direct sunlight or in a high-temperature drying environment. It is recommended to place the pillow in a cool and ventilated place for drying, and avoid being close to heat sources such as electric heaters and hot air blowers.
