A lumbar pillow of height 9 to 11 cm has outer and inner cushioning members, with a hollow space formed in the outer cushioning member. The inner cushioning member has an identical cross-sectional shape as the hollow space. The load X for the user having the lumbar pillow placed under the user's lower back equals a value obtained by multiplying the user's weight by a coefficient 0.59. A preferable range of the amount of displacement against the load is defined. The comfort of the lumbar pillow may be determined on the basis of sensory evaluation including evaluation of the texture during use, and the lumbar pillow can be used for a long period of time. The physical properties may be visualized by providing a plurality of settings to provide a substantially straight load-displacement line, enabling any user to choose a suitable pillow regardless of race, gender, and weight.

A reconfigurable pillowcase 10 has two congruent panels 12 of non-absorbent fabric connected at two lateral sides 14 and a closed distal end 16. Three handles 30 extend in a proximal direction from the proximal open end 18 of each panel 12. Fastening strips 22 inside the pillowcase's proximal open end 18 seal off the interior of the pillowcase. The handles 30 form one pair of medial handles 50 and two pairs of lateral handles 52 which may be folded over each other and held with a single hand. The folding of the pillowcase to align the handles creates creases in the pillowcase that improves the control a person has over the direction and motion of the pillowcase during a pillow fight.

A neck pillow comprising a cylindrical body that can encircle a neck of a human body, wherein the neck pillow is wearable around and detachable from the neck, wherein the cylindrical body has hardness for stably supporting the neck of the wearer and is provided with a fastener that is openable and closable on a front side of a wearer, and wherein degree of opening of the fastener can be adjusted by a millimeter unit from an upper edge of the cylindrical body in accordance with a height of the lower jaw of the wearer.

A micro-encapsulated phase-change material (MEPCM), includes, by weight: 120-150 parts of a phase-change material; 25-30 parts of methyl methacrylate; 1-4 parts of methacrylic acid; 45-54 parts of butyl acrylate; 0.2-0.7 parts of an initiator; 10-12 parts of an emulsifier; and 600-700 parts of deionized water.

A headrest assembly for a user to recline thereon. The headrest assembly comprises an upper portion for supporting the user's head and a lower portion for supporting the user's upper back. There is a rigid base that supports the upper and lower portions. At the upper portion, there are one or more upper cushions coupled to the rigid base. The upper cushion(s) are configured to support a user's head. At the lower portion, one or more elongated back support(s) are coupled to the rigid base. Also disclosed are methods for using a headrest assembly.

A changing table cover comprises a sheet, a pillow and a bag. The sheet includes a plurality of corner portions, at least two of which include elastic material. The pillow is affixed to a top surface of the sheet. The bag is affixed to an end portion of the sheet.
