A bedding product, such as a mattress, mattress topper, or pillow, includes a flexible gel panel having a gel layer with a top surface and a bottom surface, a flexible top layer overlying the top surface of the gel layer, and a flexible bottom layer overlying the bottom surface of the gel layer. The bedding product has a major surface and the flexible gel panel is integrated into the bedding product so that the flexible top layer of the flexible gel panel is juxtaposed with the major surface of the bedding product. The flexible gel panel removes body heat during use.

A health pillow includes a supine portion and two side-lying portions symmetrically arranged on both sides of the supine portion. Each of the side-lying portions has a front surface. The supine portion has a supporting projection protruding beyond the two front surfaces, and the supporting projection has a flat surface extending outwardly away from the two front surfaces. Whereby, the health pillow can help people to get better sleep quality.

A form fitting travel pillow having a unique shape that provides positional stability in relation to the wearer's shoulders, and further allows for comfortable use of headphones, is disclosed. The travel pillow is formed with upper and lower concave sections such that the lower concave section fits over and conforms to the wearer's shoulders, while the upper concave section is formed such that the wearer can comfortably wear headphones. In one preferred embodiment, the travel pillow may also include a front snap or latching element to assist in maintaining a proper position of the pillow. The travel pillow may be manufactured from memory foam, and may also include a removable cover that can be readily washed or cleaned. In one embodiment, the travel pillow may also include an attached pocket or bag into which the travel pillow may be easily stowed.

A pillow cover is provided that includes a first panel and a second panel perimetrically joined with the first panel such that inner surfaces of the first and second panels define a cavity having a void volume. The first and second panels are each made from a first material. An opening extends through the inner surface of the first panel and an outer surface of the first panel. The pillow cover includes a patch covering the opening. The patch is made from a second material that is different than the first material.

A cooling pillow generates a gust of cooled air when compressed. A solid, resilient, compressible foam block forms a core of the cooling pillow. A phase change material layer adhered to a surface of the foam block. Holes can be formed in the foam block to enhance the feel of the pillow and to improve the speed at which air is displaced when the cooling pillow is compressed. A pillow protector encloses of lightweight breathable material encloses the foam block. The pillow protector prevents the foam block and cooling layer from being abraded during insertion and removal from a pillow case. The pillow case encloses the pillow protector, which in tour holds the foam block and cooling layer. The pillow case has a breathable surface. The breathable surface is oriented to overly the cooling layer. A performance material can be used to form the breathable surface. To use the cooling pillow, the cooling pillow is oriented with the cooling layer and the breathable surface facing upward. The user then rests his or her head on the top of the pillow and compresses the cooling pillow with the weight of his or her head. As the pillow compresses, air is displaced and is cooled by the phase change material in the cooling layer. The result is a gust of cooled air against the user's head and neck.

A cooling pillow has a cooler module, a heatsink module. The heatsink module is formed in the cooler module. The peltier cooler has a bottom side and a top side. The peltier cooler transfers heat from the bottom side of the peltier cooler to the heatsink module. The water tube absorbs heat from the heatsink module. The fiberglass bottom stabilizes the heatsink module. The fiberglass bottom also insulates the heat within the cooler module. The pressure sensor is formed in the cooler module. The pressure sensor measures pressure from the user. The pillow antenna is formed within the cooler module.

A support cushion for converting a temperature difference into an electrical voltage is provided. The support cushion includes a body supporting portion, a heat dissipating portion comprised of a thermally-absorbent material and positioned adjacent to the body supporting portion, and a plurality of thermoelectric elements that are positioned and configured to convert a temperature difference between the body supporting portion and the heat dissipating portion into an electric voltage at a charging port. Methods of converting a temperature difference into an electric voltage are also provided.

This disclosure relates to a cushion and more particularly to a pillow having a hollow compartment in which a cervical spine support can be disposed therein. The cervical spine support can comprise two or more segments having different densities or geometries. The cervical spine support can be rotated so as to provide a user with different levels of firmness while resting. The cervical spine support can also include functional components designed to increase user comfort.

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.

A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.
