Abstract: A method for choosing a pillow for an individual based on matching the characteristics of an occlusion with characteristics, including height, material, size, hardness and shape, of the pillow and a pillow selected by the method.

Abstract: At present, each person selects a pillow by differences of one's neck form, custom and preference. Hence, this rationale is completely inaccurate. It can be scientifically explained clearly that pillow selection for restful and restorative sleep can be basically identified accurately by observing occlusion (teeth model). This ground is based on the following three scientific facts. 1. The repose of the head and neck during ones sleep is a peculiar form that is controlled by physiological factors. 2. There is a cause and effect between ones pillow, ones repose, and ones occlusion. 3. The physiological factor is a postnatal condition acquired by the methods and contents, with conditions in breathing pattern, of how ones head was supported while breastfed during the first 90 days immediately after birth, of how and where pressure was applied at the head and neck, or how one was put to sleep.
