第269期：枕头知多少？

今天我们来学几个简单的词，都是跟枕头有关的。

Lift pillow,也叫pillow lift，是一种枕头。猜猜看是什么？

Pillow lifts are mains or battery powered and rest on top of the
mattress and under the pillow to lift you to a reclined or sitting
position in bed. Sometimes the pillow is part of the equipment. They are
similar to mattress inclinators but are narrower, giving less support.

这就是lift pillow，通常是电动的可升降枕头，有些跟床垫合为一体，可以调节角度让人靠在床头的那种枕头。

还有一种枕头叫leg lift pillow，也叫leg pillow或leg wedge pillow（形容这种枕头像一个楔子）. 见下图。

leg pillow就是垫脚或腿的那种枕头。

严格地说，上图这个叫leg elevator wedge pillow. 

看了几款leg pillow的广告，我感觉歪果仁也越来越像中国人一样讲养生了。不同在于，西方的“养生”更多是从人体工程学角度讲的。

歪果仁认为leg pillow有以下功效：（for your reading pleasure only）

• Keeps pelvis aligned: Relieves pressure on hips, knees, ankles and joints 
• Reduces torsion stress on lower back: for relaxed and comfortable sleep
• Eliminates morning back pain: Now you can wake up totally refreshed
• Elevates and cradles legs; relieves tension and improves circulation
• Relieves discomfort of varicose veins
• Reduces leg muscle cramps
• Moves with you as you sleep; straps are not needed
• Ergonomically Perfect for side sleepers
• Essential comfort for the mom-to-be

很多人坐飞机时喜欢自带颈椎枕，这个在英语里叫go pillow或者travel pillow.

下面这个不知是否该叫office pillow？

其实也是travel pillow的一种啦。

最后一种，抱枕叫throw pillow. 

今天是长假第一天，以一期枕头专辑祝大家好好休息，玩得开心。
