Embodiments described herein provide for a bone conduction system configured as a pillow, bed cushion, seat or similar body support device. The bone conduction system comprises a plurality of transducers positioned about the pillow, bed cushion, seat or similar body support. When ergonomically positioned on the user's skull, the plurality of transducers transmit sound waves to the inner ear.

The present invention provides reconfigurable bedding systems generally including one or more bedding components such as a duvet, duvet cover, comforter, quilt, pillow shams, or sheets such as a fitted sheet, at least one flat sheet, and a plurality of pillow cases. According to some example embodiments, each component of the bedding system is manufactured so that half of the component is a uniform color, a solid portion, and the other half includes a pattern, a patterned portion. The components can be arranged in a variety of layouts with either the solid portion or pattern portion of each component visible.

A pillow cover which includes a pocket for receiving a pillow and blanket or sheet material extending away from the pocket to provide a combination pillow and blanket. This provides a comfortable sleeping object which allows for additional covering of the arms and/or body while also providing a sleeping surface for the user's head. The blanket or sheet material may end in a covering flap along one or more of its edges. These covering flaps provide a cavity for receiving a portion of the user's body, such as an arm. These flaps may further be secured on one end with a seam to form a partially closed pocket, or the flaps may be free along their ends.

An adjustable body pillow with connectors for arranging the pillow in multiple configurations. The pillow includes a center section, a first shorter leg, a second longer leg, and a plurality of connectors. Each connector is connectable to each other connector. The connectors include a first connector on the free end of the shorter leg, a second connector on the outer periphery of the body pillow at the junction between the other end of the shorter leg and one end of the center section, a third connector in the body receiving space at the junction between one end of the longer leg and the other end of the center section, and a fourth connector on the free end of the longer leg. Using the connectors, the body pillow can be arranged in various positions depending on the changing needs of the user.

A spooning pillow system and a method of using the same is provided. The spooning pillow system and method embodies a spooning pillow having an arm cavity adapted for a rearward individual in a spooning configuration may comfortably position their underlying arm therein. The spooning pillow system may also include a spooning pillowcase with connector flaps interconnecting the spooning pillowcase with auxiliary pillowcases encasing convention pillows so that the encased conventional pillows are movably attached to the spooning pillowcase. Thereby the encased convention pillows may be moved between an uncovered condition and a covered condition covering the arm cavity so that the spooning individuals can rest their heads on the conventional pillows.

A pillow cover is provided that includes a first panel and a second panel perimetrically joined with the first panel such that inner surfaces of the first and second panels define a cavity having a void volume. The first and second panels are each made from a first material. An opening extends through the inner surface of the first panel and an outer surface of the first panel. The pillow cover includes a patch covering the opening. The patch is made from a second material that is different than the first material.

Disclosed is an improved neck pillowcase for a neck pillow. The neck pillowcase includes a top fabric layer, an intermediate fabric layer, a bottom fabric layer, wherein the top fabric layer and the bottom fabric layer are joined together with the intermediate fabric layer at two perimeter edges of the intermediate fabric layer to form a body portion, two side arms, an interior cavity accessible through a first closure means embodied near the body portion of the improved pillowcase. The neck pillowcase further includes one or more pockets configured internally and proximal to the first closure means within the body portion of the improved neck pillowcase for holding one or more objects, and at least one flap configured externally on at least one of the two arms for facilitating portability of the improved neck pillowcase, and holding the one or more objects.

A sensor element for detecting and measuring a dielectric shift for use with a patient monitoring system and methods for manufacturing such sensor elements for use. Sensor elements include flat, flexible, substrate layers that are manufactured into sheets that include at least two longitudinal conductive elements printed onto one side of the substrate layer material. Disclosed also is an integrated interconnect cable component for allowing the operation of dielectric shift sensor elements with a variety of control monitors associated with pressure switch based patient alarm systems. The interconnect cable component may be used for connecting a dielectric shift sensing mat with any of a variety of different pressure switch based control unit modules used with patient occupancy alarm systems. Wired and wireless embodiments of the monitoring system are described. Various structural and material embodiments in different sleeping (bed) and sitting (chair) environments are also described.

A therapeutic pillow sham that allows a user to cover any body part such as, but not limited to, the eyes, neck, chest or back of the user. The therapeutic pillow sham includes a pillowcase, a first sash, and a second sash. The pillowcase is a pillow enclosure that is able to receive a pillow. The first sash and the second sash allow the user to cover any body part. In more detail, the first sash and the second sash can be used to cover the eyes of the user in order to block out light while the user is asleep and laying on the therapeutic pillow sham.
