Device intended to allow a user to adopt a seated rest position, the device comprising at least an upper portion for maintaining the head and a lower supporting portion, the upper portion for maintaining the head comprising an upper opening suitable for receiving the face of the user, the lower supporting portion allowing the device to be kept bearing on a support, the device bearing on the support being suitable for supporting the weight of the head of the user, the device also comprising at least two lateral openings allowing the user to position the arms of the user under the upper portion for maintaining the head.

A full head support travel pillow which is convertible to a cushion is disclosed. The inflatable pillow is adjustable to a user's dimensions and fits inside of a casing which doubles as the cushion casing for the foldable compartment pillow.

A smart pillow to avoid neck pain and pressure sores and promote healthy sleep includes a body, a processing unit, a plurality of pressure sensors, and a plurality of air bags. The pressure sensors and the air bags are mounted in the body. Each air bag includes a bi-directional valve. The pressure sensors can detect values of pressure on the body and thus the body of a user, and transmit the detected pressure values to the processing unit. The processing unit can control the bi-directional valves of the air bags in accordance with the received pressure values to adjust air amounts of each of the air bags by indrawing or releasing air. The smart pillow guides and supports a user's neck.

An air-bag-lifting sleep pillow structure automatically adapts its height to a user's sleep posture using a height control unit. The height control unit includes an air pump, a vent valve, pipes, and a lifting device. The air-bag-lifting sleep pillow structure provides appropriate support to the user's head, thereby helping to improve sleep quality, prevent sleeplessness, and mitigate sleep disorder.

The present invention is directed towards a travel pillow for sleeping in a vertical or near-vertical reclined position. When sleeping in these positions, gravity tends to pull the head forward of the shoulders causing it to droop. The current state of the art travel pillow does not provide a support means to counter this forward drooping tendency. Moreover, its rear support displaces the cervical spine forward, further increasing the tendency for the head to slump forward. The present invention holds a resting head in an upright and stable position to prevent forward head drooping and does so without forwardly displaying the cervical spine. The five novel elements of the present invention are integrally configured to maintain a healthy alignment between the occipital bone of the head, the cervical spine of the neck, and the thoracic spine of the upper back.

A bedding system uses a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based machine vision to makes adjustments for comfort and/or support. The machine vision process identities a body position by using a trained CNN that receives a pressure image and identifies a body position. The body position may be determined by classifying the pressure image into a predetermined body position classification. The machine vision process includes at least one trained CNN that determines joint locations. The machine vision tracks pressure accumulated at joints over time.

A support comprising a first pillow having a first pillow body comprising a first arm and a second arm, a second pillow comprising a third arm and a fourth arm, the first and third arms being attached to a first joint, and the second and forth arms being attached to a second joint wherein the first and second pillows can be rotated about the joints and optionally the joints are extendable to allow the relative angle and separation of the pillows to be varied. The support provides a user with myriad options for positioning the pillows and supporting their upper body, particularly during long periods of sitting upright, such as during travel in an aircraft or bus.

A hammock comfort system for facilitating optimal comfort and support for a person lying supine on a hammock is provided. The hammock has a sling with an outer perimeter edge. The sling has a top surface and a bottom surface. The hammock comfort system comprises a padded mat positionable on the top surface of the hammock with the padded mat having a top surface and a bottom surface, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. A securing mechanism releasably secures the padded mat to the top surface of the hammock. A contoured support pillow is positionable adjacent the first end of the padded mat on the top surface of the padded mat. Upon a person laying supine on the padded mat and support pillow, the padded mat and support pillow comfort and support the person.

Therapeutic cushions having a plurality of inflatable columnar cells, pumping mechanism, and a manifold or valve system for moving a fluid between the pumping mechanism and the inflatable columnar cells. The inflatable columnar cells are constructed such that inflation and deflation of the cells cause vertical expansion/contraction of the cells with limited lateral expansion/contraction. The manifold or the valve system connect the pumping mechanism with the inflatable columnar cells such that a plurality of zones are created. A valve assembly can include a plurality of valves and is adjustable among at least three valve configurations to vary fluid connections to the inflatable columnar cells to produce rearwardly advancing waves. A venting manifold may vent air from the cells between the cushions.

A comfortable inflatable pillow, manufactured to be affordably priced, designed to withstand the weather challenges associated with beaches, and other outdoor settings, by utilizing soft fabric that wicks away water and sheds sand, that has an attached pouch that can be filled with sand, or other weighted objects, to prevent the pillow from being blown around in windy conditions, that contains an internal pocket that can accommodate a tailor-made cooling and heating gel pack for hot or cold external temperatures, and that provides an optional incline position for added comfort when reading or surveying the landscape.
