Few studies have analyzed the shapes of pillows. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the pillow shape design and subjective comfort level for asymptomatic subjects.
Four basic pillow designs factors were selected on the basis of literature review and recombined into 8 configurations for testing the rank of degrees of comfort. The data were analyzed by the analytic hierarchy process method to determine the most comfortable pillow.
Pillow number 4 was the most comfortable pillow in terms of head, neck, shoulder, height, and overall comfort. The design factors of pillow number 4 were using a combination of standard, cervical, and shoulder pillows. A prototype of this pillow was developed on the basis of the study results for designing future pillow shapes.
This study investigated the comfort level of particular users and redesign features of a pillow. A deconstruction analysis would simplify the process of determining the most comfortable pillow design and aid designers in designing pillows for groups.
很少有研究分析枕头的形状。本研究的目的是调查无症状受试者的枕头形状设计与主观舒适度之间的关系。
在文献综述的基础上选择了四个基本的枕头设计因素，并将其重新组合成8种配置，以测试舒适度等级。采用层次分析法对数据进行分析，以确定最舒适的枕头。
就头部、颈部、肩部、高度和整体舒适度而言，4号枕头是最舒适的枕头。4号枕头的设计因素是采用了标准枕、颈椎枕和肩部枕的组合。基于研究结果开发了该枕头的原型，用于设计未来的枕头形状。
本研究调查了特定用户的舒适度以及枕头的重新设计特征。解构分析将简化确定最舒适枕头设计的过程，并帮助设计师为不同群体设计枕头。
