This paper studied the relationship between the characteristic of pillow materials and sleeping comfort in supine position through head, neck, back pressure distribution system and subjective evaluation on ergonomics methods. This paper selected chemical fiber, buckwheat, latex, memory foam, inflatable cushion, traditional Chinese medicine / tea and pearl cotton for experimental materials. The results showed that the pillows with memory foam and latex was better in pressure distribution and subjective evaluation. The pillow with traditional Chinese medicine / tea and inflatable cushion had lower elasticity and poorer sleeping comfort. The buckwheat pillow can relieve neck fatigue.
