Perhaps, we all need to learn from the Japanese the rules of good sleep. They sleep on their backs, on a hard special mattress, and a log in a pillowcase is put under the head. In their opinion, only this position of the body during sleep provides a full rest and relaxation to the entire body. Our mentality is radically different from the eastern vision of the world, but no one prevents them from adopting their way of rest: they can sleep on a harder bed, and pillow can be used instead of a log.
It has long been proven that sleeping on large and high pillows is harmful. And rollers, on the other hand, are 100% suitable for this purpose. They are low, fairly firm and placed directly under the neck, thus allowing the spine to be in a level position.
Before we begin to enumerate all the advantages of such pillows, let's see what kinds of rollers exist:
- a cushion-pillow for a bed, which is designed for both sleeping and decorative decoration;
- cushioned decorative rollers under the back;
- decorative roller can be used as an armrest and even as a footrest.

Now, perhaps, we will now describe the advantages of cushion-rollers. What are they so good that they are not inferior to traditional pillows of rectangular shape, and sometimes even surpass them?
Advantages of pillows-rollers
For a start, let's recall the structure of the human body and the fact that a normal rest is received by a person only when his spine is relaxed. What is needed for this? Very little: that during sleep, both the neck and the head lay on the pillow.
Only when the back is fixed at one point and deflections are removed, the spine allows one to relax. Consequently, the back, neck relax, nervous tension goes away and even pain in the back and back is removed. Those who suffer from back pain need to drastically reconsider their attitude to sleep, look at which pillows you sleep, are they comfortable, are not they high or, conversely, are they low?
The pillow-roller for sleep has a number of therapeutic effects. A lot depends on the correct position of the body during sleep. For example, as already mentioned above, headaches and pains in the spine go away, the work of the heart and blood circulation improve, normal pressure, eyes relax and intraocular pressure decrease.
Also, a pillow-roller is shown for sleep to those who restlessly sleep at night and suffer from chronic fatigue.

By the way, such pillows are considered to be orthopedic, especially if they are not stuffed with traditional fluff and feather, but, for example, hypoallergenic and ecologically clean buckwheat husk, which, moreover, has a massage effect. And orthopedic cushions-rollers for sleeping and rest are filled with medicinal herbs to complement the therapeutic effect with aromatherapy. Of the most commonly found aromatic fillers, there are juniper, lavender, and cedar. Such rollers not only promote a sound sleep, but also relieve stress, relax the nervous system, relieve insomnia.
Features of making decorative pillows-rollers with their own hands
For needlewomen, it will be interesting that the pillow-roller is rather easy to make at home. Moreover, it is so easily sewn that even a beginner seamstress can join the production of the roller. The roller looks in a patchwork style, when the decorative pillowcase is made of multi-colored cloth flaps. Also on the cushion-platen will be appropriate hand embroidery and lace. On decorative pillowcases, as a rule, a zipper is made for easy use of the roller, so that if necessary, the pillowcase can be easily removed and washed. And you can fill this pillow with traditional fluff and feather, or with synthetic materials, for example, foam rubber or holofayber.
