Car driver seat cushion

How to use car seat head cushion correctly?
Many people rely on the car’s safety system, thinking that the car’s skin is thick enough and the safety system is perfect enough that the car is absolutely safe. But things are not so simple. There are many reasons for car accidents. Even if the safety system of the car is done well, although the threat will not involve life, it will cause unforeseen injuries. A large proportion of car accidents will cause cervical spine injuries. To avoid this kind of thing is to adjust the seat headrest. Today I will talk about how the headrest on the car seat protects our most important head.

1. Why do you use the headrest?
In fact, the headrest has two functions: it makes the head more comfortable and protects the head under impact. However, many people put the cart before the horse and regard the former role as a more important role. In fact, the latter is the most important one. In the course of long-term driving, the headrest can indeed reduce fatigue. But you must not change the height of the headrest just because the correct position of the headrest is set, which will make you feel uncomfortable. The consequences of this are definitely dozens of times more serious than a little bit of physical fatigue. If the correct headrest position makes you feel uncomfortable, you can add a high-quality neck pillow, which not only relieves fatigue, but also cushions the neck.

2. How high is the headrest?
When a car is hit, the human body will suddenly be pushed forward or backward by a force of force, but the head and body are only connected by a thin neck, so the head cannot synchronize with the swing of the body.
If the height of the headrest is not correct at this time, it will cause cervical spine injury, and the degree of injury may be very serious. If your headrest is set higher than your head, the softest part of your head will not be protected by the headrest cushion when receiving an impact. If the headrest is used as a neck pillow and is set lower than the middle of the head, then when you receive an impact, your head will hit the headrest hard, and your neck will instantly turn into a soft thick rope drawn toward the headrest. The result is that the cervical spine is broken.

3. How to adjust the headrest?
If you want to adjust the headrest, you must first adjust the seat. The angle of the seat back should be kept slightly inclined, so that the angle between the head and neck and the body is gentle, but it must not be adjusted too straight. Then adjust the height of the headrest to be flush with the middle of the head. The main protection of the headrest is that this piece can be cushioned. Finally, look at the distance between the middle of the back of the head and the headrest. This distance is best to be two fingers wide. In this way, the head can get the best cushioning effect when encountering an impact.
