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 knee cushion is disclosed which includes an integral foam member having a first major surface, an oppositely aligned second major surface, at least one side wall joining the first major surface to the second major surface. Leg depressions are formed in both the first and second major surfaces. The leg depressions are arranged in the shape of a modified peace symbol. The leg depressions permit a person to position the knee cushion between their knees while sleeping on their side to assist in aligning their hips and for keeping their spine straight. The integral foam member also includes a circular depression located in a central portion of the modified peace symbol on both the first and second major surfaces. Lastly the integral foam member has an Indentation Force Deflection at 25% of from between about 8 pounds-force to about 18 pounds-force.

Travel pillow apparatus, storage apparatus for the travel pillow apparatus, and methods of manufacture and use. In one embodiment, the travel pillow apparatus, includes an external covering, the external covering including upper and lower support structures; an air bladder apparatus that includes an expandable open-cell foam within an interior of the air bladder apparatus. The air bladder apparatus is further shorter in length than the external covering, such that the air bladder apparatus is not intended to be positioned towards the back of a neck of a user that is utilizing the travel pillow apparatus. A storage apparatus with a one-way expulsion valve for storage of, for example, the aforementioned travel pillow apparatus. Methods of manufacturing and using the aforementioned apparatus are also disclosed.

A pillow system includes a pillow assembly and a pillow and pillow cover assembly, the pillow assembly having a base attached to a pillow having an opening, the pillow formed of a first foam material, and the base formed of a second foam material, and wherein the first foam material is more rigid than the second foam material. The pillow and pillow cover assembly includes a pillow cover formed of a stretchy fabric material capable of stretching into the opening of the pillow during use.

A hybrid pillow includes a first lateral portion, a medial portion, and a second lateral portion. The first lateral portion includes a first thickness. The medial portion is disposed adjacent to the first lateral section, the medial portion including a second thickness. The second lateral portion is disposed adjacent to the medial portion, and the medial portion is disposed between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion. The second lateral portion includes a third thickness. The hybrid pillow includes one or more slots on a top of the hybrid pillow in the first lateral portion, the one or more slots extending only partially through the first thickness.

A pillow includes a head support, a neck support, and an opening extending entirely through a central portion of the pillow. The head support includes a top surface and a bottom surface, and defines a first height extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The neck support is coupled to the head support and includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a central portion and side portions. The central portion defines a second height extending between a base of the central portion and the bottom surface, and each of the side portions defines a third height extending between an apex of the respective side surface and the bottom surface. The third height is greater than the first and second heights.

A pillow includes a pillow body, at least one cushion member; and at least one connecting assembly, a connecting side portion of the respective cushion member is connected to the pillow body through the respective connecting assembly, and a movable side portion of the respective cushion member is disposed on the pressure bearing area. When the height of the pillow needs to be increased, only one or more cushion members need to be added to a pressure bearing area of the pillow body, so as to adapt to head heights and neck heights of different users during use. When the height of the pillow needs to be reduced, only one or more cushion members need to be detached or transferred away from the pressure bearing area to reduce an overall height of the pillow to meet practical needs of the users.

A triangular-shaped lower-body pillow has an upper and a lower triangular fabric panel joined along outer edges, seams joining the upper and lower fabric panels, forming a plurality of separate, fillable compartments, and closures along outer edges of the lower-body pillow, allowing access to the separate, fillable compartments. With the closures open, compartments are filled to a same or different thickness, and the closures are then closed.

An anti-wrinkle anatomic pillow that allows that users rest on their backs, face down or on the side without this causing expression lines in their skins.
