A supporting pillow structure for a user to sleep or to perform sedentary activity facing down toward the pillow structure with the user's hands and arms placed below their face. Embodiments of the pillow structure may be configured to provide users with comfort and support while the user is seated leaning forward at a desk or table. Embodiments may be further configured to expand and compress, for example to inflate and deflate, into a compact easy to carry package.

Embodiments described herein are directed to a travel pillow having a neck portion, a hood portion, and a support assembly. The neck portion includes a cavity and a rear exterior surface having one or more first mating elements. The hood portion extends from the neck portion and includes an inwardly foldable lining. The hood portion includes one or more second mating elements disposed on a front exterior surface thereof and configured to mate with the one or more first mating elements. The support assembly is insertable within the cavity. The support assembly includes an outer covering, a foam insert disposed within the outer covering, and a padding layer. The padding layer is disposed between the foam insert and an inner surface of the outer covering. The padding layer is asymmetrically distributed along a length of the support assembly.

A therapeutic pillow includes a soft central section which received the back of one's head and pair of bolster segments for restraining the head from turning to either side. Underlying the central section is a dense buttress. The lateral ends of the buttress project upwardly and comprise a stiffening outer portion of each bolster. Both the central section and the buttress have a generally “U” shaped transverse cross section such that central section nests within the buttress when the composite pillow is assembled. A convex gradient neck extends forwardly from the central section and transitions to a convex cervical lordosis support at the central section. The buttress includes a central spherical cap depression. A portion of the central section occupies the depression to provide increased comfort for the occipital protuberance at the back of one's head.

A pillow system for use by a user laying on their back, such as for use after a mastectomy or other surgery. The pillow system provides a cushioning and supportive system. In one particular implementation, the pillow system has two elongate side pillows for placing under and extending from at least a user's shoulders to the user's knees. The two side pillows have an inner edge that includes two concave regions, thus when the two pillows are placed next to or alongside each other, two generally void areas are formed. The pillow system may include a head pillow and/or a support pillow(s), such as a wedge-shaped pillow.

A height adjustable pillow is a hypoallergenic pillow having a closable pillow case and preferably five cushions within that may be added or removed one at a time to adjust the height of the pillow. The top cushion is stitched diagonally corner to corner to make it easier to place an infant on the pillow so that the infant's head is able to rest comfortably in a chosen position without rolling to a less comfortable position

A decorative pillow system includes a pillow and pillowcases. The pillow includes a pocket, and a pocket inlet to the pocket. Each of the pillowcases is a removable cover for the pillow and has a decorative theme. The decorative themes of the pillowcases are different from one another. One of the pillowcases is drawn over the pillow, and at least one of the remaining pillowcases is stored in the pocket.

A pillow dressing system includes a pillow case that has an open end. A pillow is provided and the pillow is selectively positioned within the pillow case. A panel is provided and the panel is selectively manipulated. The pillow is selectively positioned on the panel and the panel is selectively urged into the open end of the pillow case. In this way the pillow is selectively positioned within the pillow case. The panel is removed from the pillow case when the pillow is positioned within the pillow case.

A traction pillow for creating gravity induced traction across the upper anterior region of the torso to stretch the muscles residing in that region. Tightening muscles caused by unhealthy posture and sleeping habits can cause musculoskeletal system imbalances, which can lead to chronic pain and or degenerative disease. Imbalances across the upper torso region can further cause rounded shoulders. An underpinning underlay orients a torso support and a neck and head support along an inclined plane to properly align the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spines of a supine resting body and to gradually elevate the torso, neck, and head above a horizontal resting surface to enable the outer extremities of the upper torso, not supported by the torso support, to be pulled downward by the force of gravity and droop unobstructed above the horizontal resting surface. The torso is generally of a higher weight in comparison to the combined weight of the head and neck. Therefore, the mechanical properties - i.e., bulk moduli - of the materials used to construct the torso support, the neck and head support, and the underpinning underlay are independently formulated to provide appropriate levels of individual firmness, and to enable the torso support and the neck and head support to volumetrically compress in lockstep to maintain spinal alignment throughout compression.
