When the sleeping posture of the user is changed from side lying to back lying, the height requirements of the head and the neck are reduced, so that the air bags of the head and the neck are deflated; when changing from supine to lateral, the head and neck height requirements are both raised, and therefore the head and neck airbags are both inflated.

Based on the above requirements, specifically, in step S30, when the sleeping posture of the user changes from lying on side to lying on back, the controller controls the air pump and the air valve control module to deflate the air bag at the head position and the air bag at the neck position, so as to reduce the height of the pillow; in step S40, when the user changes the sleeping position from supine to lateral, the controller inflates the head airbag through the controller air pump and the air valve control module, and at the same time, the controller controls the air valve control module to inflate the neck airbag to raise the pillow to provide necessary support.

Further, at step S40: if the user lies on the side in the current sleeping posture, the method also comprises the following steps after the air bags positioned at the neck and the head are inflated through the inflation assembly:

s50: the height of the pillow neck pillow is detected through a distance sensor, and if the height reaches a set threshold value, the inflation is stopped.

Specifically, in step S50, the distance sensor is provided on the side of the airbag at the neck position. Referring to the structure of the pillow body, when the air bag is inflated, the air bag is continuously inflated, and the height of the top plate 15 is continuously supported and increased, when the distance between the bottom plate 14 and the top plate 15 reaches a set threshold, the controller controls the air pump 20 and the air valve control module 50 to stop inflating the neck air bag 60. The preset threshold value can be changed, and can be input into the controller through the data interface of the controller for storage, so that the air bag is controlled to reach different heights, and the pillow can meet the use requirements of different people.
