Headrest maximizes effectiveness to prevent bacterial growth inside the headrest It is about acupuncture apparatus.

Anatomically, the human head is supported by the curved cervical spine, which is the seven cervical vertebrae, creating a concave area that is not supported by the floor when a person is lying on his back. Due to this concave part, a person feels uncomfortable when lying down for a long time, and if the floor lying on his back is hard, there is bound to feel more discomfort accompanied by pain in the back of the head.

To relieve this discomfort, a person uses a headrest when lying down. As the quality of life of human beings increases, various types of headrest devices are being created due to the increasing interest in the importance of sleep.
