A modifiable pillow having a main pillow module, which serves as the foundation or base for the application of other modules adapted for various purposes is provided. A mechanical traction assembly may also be operatively associated with the main pillow module for apply mechanical traction to a user of the main pillow module.

A pillow includes a body including a shoulder rest, a cervical spine rest and an occipital region rest; a first wing portion extending from the body to one side; and a second wing portion extending from the body to the other side. The occipital region rest includes a second inclined surface inclining downward at a predetermined angle toward a rear of the body and a recess portion recessed from an end of the second inclined surface toward an inside of the body to bring an upper occipital region into contact with a floor surface. According to the pillow, the respiratory tract is maximally opened when lying flat such that snoring is prevented and nose breathing is enabled, and since the load of the head is dispersed on the entire floor, the burden applied to the cervical vertebrae and shoulders by weight of the head itself can be reduced.

A head and neck rest device includes two pillow bodies and two head support blocks. The two pillow bodies each have a first end portion and a second end portion. A neck support strap is connected between two opposing sides of the two pillow bodies. The two head support blocks are coupled to the first end portions of the two pillow bodies. The two head support blocks gradually extend downward from the two opposing sides, respectively. The two pillow bodies and the two head support blocks can fully surround the user's head, and do not abut against the two sides of the user's cheek, so as to avoid the occurrence of temporomandibular arthritis. The head and neck rest device can achieve the purpose of relaxation and rest.

Embodiments of an apparatus for supporting the neck and head of a user for airway management are described. The apparatus can include a base support section, which can rest on a supporting surface, a front side, two opposing sides and a back side with the base support section being dimensioned between about 25-26 inches in width, between about 16-17 inches in depth and about 6 inches in height with a separate and removable and replaceable head/neck support section.

An apparatus for supporting the neck and head of a user for airway management includes a base support section with a sloping ramp for supporting the user's shoulders and back, where the base support section can rest on a resting surface (i.e., a surface on which the apparatus is positioned), a front side, two opposing sides and a back side with the sloping ramp extending from a front edge of the apparatus to a top head-receiving portion. In general, the apparatus can be made in different sizes for accommodating different individuals. In some embodiments, the base support section can have a width in a range of about 20 inches to about 30 inches, a depth in a range of about 16 to about 17 inches and a height in a range of about 12 to about 15 inches, though other sizes can also be employed.

In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting the head and neck of a user for airway management is disclosed, which comprises a top surface including at least one head-receiving portion configured and dimensioned for receiving and supporting a user's head, and at least one recess neck opening for supporting a user's neck when the user's head is received in the head-receiving portion. The apparatus further includes at least one chin support protruding above the top surface and configured for facilitating placing the user in a sniff position when the user's head is received in the head-receiving portion. The chin support can include a top surface segment and a lateral surface segment, where at least a portion of the lateral surface segment of the chin support extends from the top surface segment thereof to the at least one recess neck opening.

A pillow including a pillow-liner having an upper liner, a lower liner, and at least one middle liner. The upper liner, lower liner, and at least one middle liner are sealed together adjacent peripheral edges thereof to define an open end and at least two internal compartments. The at least one middle liner is generally parallel with the upper and lower liners. The pillow also includes cushioning materials for filling the at least two internal compartments. Each of the at least two internal compartments are filled with different cushioning materials such that the internal compartments have different density and firmness when filled with the respective cushioning materials. At least one of the at least two internal compartments is filled with a plurality of loose pieces of a shredded foam material, and at least one of the at least two internal compartments is filled with a one-piece molded foam material.

This invention related to a pillow so designed as to allow a person to access internal pillow material to properly rearrange and adjust the density to fit her / his body size and sleeping habitant. This pillow is filled with a special material that reacts with head weight positions and section pockets to fit to relieve pressure on the sleeper's eyes, nose, throat, shoulders and blood vessels and glands of the neck. Several of the most common causes of snoring are eliminated, so a person sleeps more soundly and quietly.

A pillow can include a head support surface configured to support at least a portion of a person's head, a first support having a first support surface with a first apex disposed at a first height a second support having a second support surface with a second apex disposed at a second height, and a third support having a third support surface with a third apex disposed at a third height. The support surfaces can support at least a portion of a person's neck when at least a portion of their head is in contact with the head support surface. One or more of the heights can differ from one or more other heights. A pillow can include one or more openings and one or more inserts configured to be disposed therein.

A method of pillow customization includes analyzing shapes associated with people through the use of sensors to create analytical data; receiving photos from a subject user through a first computing device and a server; determining a firmness of a mattress of the subject user based on the photos; determining body measurements of the subject based on the photos through one or more algorithms and a second computing device; providing the subject user with a pillow diagram, the pillow diagram having one or more zones, each of the one or more zones being customizable in firmness; receiving one or more subject user inputted selections through the first computing device; and designing a pillow based on the firmness of the mattress, the body measurements, and the one or more subject user inputted characteristics, the pillow being customized to the subject user.
