A standard cervical pillow is an orthotic device, which helps in removing spasms, and tensions from the spine, and maintains the natural cervical lordotic curve in a resting position. Standard cervical pillows are padded with foam cushioning. Foam-based cervical pillows are modified to promote a good fit for the neck and head in a resting position. In the current market, owing to the wider penetration of the pillow and the greater acceptability these standard pillows have been found to be replaced with many alternatives, like polyester, and in some cases, feather-based pillows. These varying structural stability and stiffness cater to the demand for a wider range of cervical disorder patients with varying preferences for pillows.
The market for standard pillows, due to improvements in the material and the material quality and fabrication, is expected to gain wider demand and increase the market growth over the forecast period. A large number of standard foam pillows, sold in the global market, are filled with microbeads, which helps in the uniform distribution of tension across the pillow.
