Methods and combinations for making and using one or more thermally conductive cellular foam layers comprising flexible cellular foam and metallic material particulates, and said thermally-conductive cellular foam layers may be located on, under, or in cushioning foams and mattresses or placed between on, under, within, or between other layering substrates to increase the overall cooling capability of the composite. The thermally conductive foam may be used in mattresses, pillows, bedding products, medical cushioning foams, and similar materials used in bedding environments.

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.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to create active cooling for a pillow. More particularly, it relates to systems and methods for creating positive pressure in a pillow to remove heat and perspiration from a user's head actively.

A body pillow has an elongate body formed around an axis. An outer cover of the pillow includes a stretchy circumferential band of material disposed around the axis and to be spaced from either end of the pillow. Ends of first and second inner pillows are disposed near or under the circumferential band. The user may helically twist the body of the pillow around the axis at the circumferential band. Doing so separates the inner pillows and increases their firmness. An inner side of the outer cover may be made of a stretchy fabric that conforms to the body of the user, while outer side may be composed mostly of nonstretch material to retain the pillows' shape. The twisted and nontwisted configurations of the pillow make it an effective sleeping aid for expecting mothers during different stages of their pregnancies.

A slip-on travel pillow cover is disclosed. The cover is detachable and reusable to enclose standard travel pillows. The cover features an outer surface and an inner surface, with the inner surface tailored to cradle the neck opening of the pillow cover. A zipper fastener is disposed along the outer surface enabling easy insertion and securement of a travel pillow within the cover. The cover is adaptable and stretchable to accommodate various pillow sizes and comes in multiple designs and colors. In another embodiment, a rectangular or square cover is provided. The cover includes a unique zipper disposed along one edge for accommodating a travel pillow. The pillow covers of the invention can include anti-microbial properties for enhanced hygiene and customizable designs for user satisfaction.

A system for use by a person when sleeping in an ambient environment. The system comprises a cushion layer made from a substantially air impermeable material and for use by the person. The system further comprises a first air channel disposed within the cushion layer and in communication with the ambient environment. The system further comprises an air pump disposed outside the cushion layer and in communication with the first air channel to supply the person with fresh air.

A body pillow includes an outer cover defining a pillow body formed along a longitudinal axis. The outer cover has a first end and a second end disposed along the longitudinal axis, and the outer cover includes a first section of stretchable material disposed between the first end and the second end. The body pillow also includes a first inner pillow disposed inside the outer cover, extending from a location proximate the first end of the outer cover toward the first section, and a second inner pillow disposed inside the outer cover, extending from a location proximate the section of stretchable material toward the second end of the outer cover. The body pillow is configurable between a first configuration, in which the first section of is untwisted, and a second configuration, in which the first section is twisted.
