A method of making a hygienic disposable pillow protector involves a step of folding a pillow protector material to define a first surface and a second surface, and to also define a closed end and an open end that is opposite the closed end. The pillow protector material is aligned to further define two unsealed edges. The method then involves sealing the unsealed edges of the pillow protector material by ultrasonic welding or bonding to define two sealed edges extending from the closed end to the open end to thereby define an opening sized to enable insertion of pillow into the disposable pillow protector. The method then involves applying a first strip of double-sided adhesive tape and applying a second strip of double-sided adhesive tape. A pillow may inserted into the disposable pillow protector and the opening sealed by forming folded seams with the first and second strips of tape.

A pillow cover has a pillow case having a pocket, a pocket opening, a cavity, and an opening, the opening configured to allow the pillow case to receive a standard-sized pillow into the cavity, a support pillow insert insertable into the pocket through the pocket opening to form a support pillow on the surface the pillow case, and an attachment to allow the pillow cover to be adjustably attached to a chair.

A multi-use pillow that provides for a shape guided by and contemplated for use in therapeutics, ergonomics, and comfort. The multi-use pillow comprises of an outer shell configured with a first enclosure, a second enclosure, and a channel separating the two enclosures. A first inner pod and a second inner pod are received into the first enclosure and the second enclosure, respectively, and are structured to conform to a size of their respective enclosures. The multi-use pillow may be folded at the channel and allow the pillow to be adapted for use as a stacked pillow or back support. The multi-use pillow may also be adapted for several sleeping styles conforming to proper lumbar and neck support.

A protective pillow cover for protecting a pillow against germs and microbes. A barrier component is constructed with at least two layers configured in a generally cuboid shape defining a cavity. An inner layer employs an anti-microbial component creating a barrier between the user and the pillow. An outer layer is constructed with a material designed for the user's comfort. The layers terminate in a perimeter. A securing component shorter than the perimeter is integrated into the perimeter and is stretchable to allow the barrier component to partially encapsulate the pillow. A middle layer of the barrier component may be used to provide cooling or a pleasing olfactory experience.

A multi-position pillow for providing cervical area support during sleep, the multi-position pillow comprising: an outer cover adapted to be opened; a core support removably associated with the outer cover, the core support comprising a sloped body, wherein a downward slope of the sloped body extends from a first end to a second end, a head connected to the first end and having a hump, and a ledge disposed in the head along a top end of the hump; and a contouring material layer removably associated with the outer cover, the contouring material layer being compressible such that to compress over a top of the core support; wherein an association of the outer cover with the core support and the contouring material layer causes the core support and the contouring material layer to be positioned centrally within the outer cover, such that to provide cervical area support to a user.

A cover for a cushioning element, such as a pillow, volume adjustable. The cover includes one or more gathering elements that can alter a length and a volume of the cover. Each gathering element may extend around an end of the cover (e.g., circumferentially, helically around a circumference of the cover, etc.). Each gathering element may enable adjustment of the length and volume of the cover in extremely small increments or even continuously (i.e., in micro adjustments). The length and volume of the cover may be adjusted in a manner that limits or prevents migration of a cushioning element (e.g., an infill material, etc.) within the cover. A cushion, such as a pillow, may include a volume-adjustable cover with a cushioning element therein. Methods for adjusting the manner in which a cushioning element supports, molds around, underfills, and/or backfills a load and its form are also disclosed.

A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.

A travel pillow system includes an outer sleeve with a first end reversibly connectable to a second end. The outer sleeve may be stuffed or filled with a blanket to form an infinity scarf or neck pillow that may be used in a variety of configurations to support the neck, head, back, shoulders, etc., and also be used as a light-blocking pillow. The sleeve may be provided with a pocket for holding items such as ID cards, keys, credit cards, and other travel essentials. A pillowcase may also be provided and the blanket may be removed from the outer sleeve and used to fill the pillowcase. The blanket may also be secured around a user and include pockets for a user's hands.

A pillow configured to accommodate a first user and a second user wherein the users are positioned in a lateral recumbent position. The body of the pillow includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has an upper surface that is higher than that of the upper surface of the lower portion. The lower portion includes a first section and a second section that are contiguously formed. The first section and second section are laterally adjacent and are configured to permit the second user to lay in a left lateral recumbent position and a right lateral recumbent position. The lower surface of the body includes a passage formed therein. The passage is concave in form and includes a bottom portion and a top portion having a first branch and a second branch. The passage bifurcates proximate the lower edge of the upper portion to create a y-shape.
