A total of 780 valid responses were gathered via an online questionnaire to explore the sleep habits, cervical health conditions, and pillow product preferences of modern individuals. The study found that sleeping late and staying up late are common, and the use of electronic devices and caffeine consumption have a negative impact on sleep. Most respondents have cervical discomfort and have varying satisfaction with pillows, which shows their demand for personalized pillows. The machine learning model for predicting the demand of latex pillow was constructed and optimized to provide personalized pillow recommendation, aiming to improve sleep quality and provide market data for sleep product developers.展开更多
