An inflatable cushion including: an inflatable body, having an upper surface and a lower surface, said body including an air-impermeable skin defining a chamber, an elastic foam core within said chamber and a sealable air valve; and an external elastic foam layer substantially covering at least one of said upper and lower of surfaces; wherein: the foam core is formed of a foam having a density of between about 15 kg/m3 and about 35 kg/ma and a hardness of between about 25 newtons and about 45 newtons; and the foam layer is formed of a foam having a density of between about 35 kg/m3 and about 65 kg/m3 and a hardness of between about 35 newtons and about 95 newtons.

An upright sleep system includes a base pillow and a top pillow. The base pillow includes a tapered shape, including a top edge having a top edge thickness and a bottom edge having a bottom edge thickness less than the top edge thickness. A user may rest his or her head against the top pillow or base during use, and the base pillow supports both the top pillow and the user's torso and arms. By utilizing the upright sleep system the users head, neck, chin, torso and arms can all be supported. The base pillow and tether provide a stable support for the top pillow to prevent the top pillow from becoming dislodged while the user rests. A base passage in the base pillow is shaped to receive a user's arm or arms to further enhance comfort and support. In some embodiments, the base and top pillow include an inflatable, airtight chamber.

A stretchable pillowcase with an inflatable pillow or bladder having an attached pouch that can be folded onto itself and enclose the pillow and cover therein during non-usage. But, the pillow and case can be removed from the pouch, the pillow inflated, to provide a cushion use of the pillow for comfort, and to use as a flotation device, for recreational purposes. The pillow is made of a water-proof and inflatable material, such as polymer and rubber, and the case may be formed of a resilient fabric material. Its pouch likewise, is fabricated from an expandable material, to allow it to fold onto itself, and enclose the pillow and case therein, once the former has been deflated. The pillow in this case may contain a bladder, internally thereof, and which can be inflated with air under pressure to add to its comfortable usage. And, a series of the cases may be interlinked together into the formation for multiple shapes and sizes such as a raft, to provide full body support.

A headphone case is provided that serves as both a case for storing headphones and other objects, and a cushion to be worn around the neck. The case has either a fixed cushion located on different parts of the case, or a material that can be inflated, where the material has an outside layer comprising a cushion material. The case has two halves, a top half and lower half, which are held together by one or more hinges or other means. The headphone case can have a control unit for electronically inflating the material on the case, and for controlling units inside the case for controlling an amount and intensity of heat and vibration. Software can be uploaded to the control unit via a USB port or a Bluetooth antenna for controlling the different functions of the case. An application running on a phone, tablet or computer may control the functions of the various units inside the case.

Embodiments of present disclosure provide a pillow. One embodiment provides a pillow including a u-shaped main body comprising a left portion, a right portion, and an upper portion and an aperture is provided between the left portion, the right portion, and the upper portion. Furthermore, the embodiment of the pillow includes an inflatable air bladder inside the u-shaped main body. In this embodiment, the pillow also includes a left pillar on the bottom of the left portion, a right pillar on the bottom of the right portion, and an upper pillar on the bottom of the upper portion, and an air channel is provided between the upper pillar and the left pillar and the right pillar. In this embodiment, a face of a user can be inserted into the aperture and a nose and a mouth of the user can rest in the air channel above a resting surface upon which the pillow is placed.

Provided herein is a system for snoring reduction of a user, having an anti-snoring pillow, a mobile application, a processor, and a database server; wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising detecting snoring, and intervening with a position of the user's head until the snoring is reduced; the anti-snoring pillow housing air bags, a head position sensor, and a microphone board for the detection of snoring, wherein the mobile application is accessible by the user on a mobile device; wherein the processor is configured to perform operations comprising detecting snoring, intervening with the user's head position by inflating or deflating one or more of the air bags, analyzing patterns from the user, comparing the patterns from the user before and after the intervention, and utilizing artificial intelligence learning to optimize the settings based on the analysis and comparison for achieving a desired pattern from the user.

An inflatable pillow, having a predetermined shape when inflated, such that the bottom face of the pillow sits securely on an airplane table tray, the pillow's back face, above the arm space, leans fully against the seat back that the table tray is mounted on, providing lateral stability for the upper region of the pillow, unique over the prior art, and an angled front face upon which the confined traveler can lean forward from their seated position and get full support for their upper torso and head so they can comfortably rest or sleep. The pillow is composed of flexible, air-retentive material and has a valve for inflating and deflating the pillow. In its deflated state the pillow is compact enough to fit in most carry-on bags for ease of transport and storage. A simple bellows is provided with the pillow for inflating the pillow. An arm space is provided behind the pillow along the table tray for the users forearms to be folded there, allowing the user to lean onto the front face of the pillow and hug the pillow, providing physical and psychological security for the passenger.

Described in an example embodiment herein is a portable headrest. The portable headrest may be deployed on a surface in front of a user, such as a tray table on an aircraft or a desk.

A pillow includes a pillow cushion consisting essentially of a gelatinous elastomer that is sized and configured to support a head and neck of a person using the pillow cushion. The pillow cushion has a first major surface, a second major surface, and deformable wall members extending between the first major surface and the second major surface. The deformable wall members are located and configured to define voids therebetween such that the deformable wall members may be displaced into adjacent voids upon deformation of the deformable wall members. The deformable wall members are configured to buckle when a pressure applied to a cushioning surface of the pillow cushion, in a direction perpendicular to the first major surface, exceeds a threshold pressure level. A pillow cover covers the pillow cushion. A method of fabricating a pillow includes enclosing such a cushion in a pillow cover.

A snore disrupting method and system is presented, comprising an expansion unit, an air pressure supply or an inflator unit, and an electronic circuit. The invention may further comprise a wired or wireless microphone transmitter. The expansion unit may be placed underneath a pillow, inside a pillowcase. The expansion unit is inflated and deflated by the inflator unit and through expanding and increasing in volume and deflating and reducing in volume changes the position of snorer's head, hence disrupting the snoring. The expansion unit may comprise at least one bladder placed within a sleeve structure, where the expansion and volume increase of the one or plurality of bladders expands the sleeve structure as well and extends and transfers the expansion through the length of the sleeve structure, therefore displacing the pillow along the length of the sleeve structure.
