Inflatable pillow or headrest
A pillow 10 has two side panels (15A, 15B), an inner wedge (20) positioned between and connected to the two side panels, a mesh (25), and at least one valve stem (30). The inner wedge is enclosed by the side panels and the mesh. When the side panels and the inner wedge are inflated they become rigid and hold the mesh taut. The mesh allows air to circulate around the head of the user when the user lays his or her head on the pillow. There may be a single valve stem, in which case there are passageways between the side panels and the inner wedge to allow air to flow between them. There may also be two or three valve stems, and one or no passageways.
STACK AND CONNECT CUSTOM PILLOW SYSTEM
A pillow cover includes a flexible fabric configured to hold a cushioning material, a first, second, third and fourth connection element each positioned at a different corner of the flexible fabric, and a fifth and sixth connection element positioned along a central axis of the flexible fabric. A system for building pillow structures includes multiple pillow covers, each pillow cover including a flexible fabric having a plurality of connection elements positioned along a perimeter of the flexible fabric. The connection elements are positioned so that at least two of the plurality of pillow covers can connect in each an aligned-adjacent orientation, a staggered-adjacent orientation, an aligned-stacked orientation, and a staggered-stacked orientation.
Contoured travel pillow
A travel pillow includes a pliable body which conforms to a user's shoulder and neck, and an anchor which extends from a forward portion of an outer surface of the body to a rearward portion thereof. Opposite ends of the anchor include connectors, each connector adapted to releasably hold one end of a strap. By positioning the body on one shoulder of the user, adjacent to the head, and with one end of the strap removably connected to a rearward portion of the body, the user may extend the other end of the strap around his/her torso and firmly hold the strap, so as to apply a pulling force on the anchor via the strap. This pulling force applied via the strap and the anchor enables the pillow to remain in place to support the head of the user.
Head and Neck Support Device for Seated or Recumbent Use
A device configured to support the head and neck of a person relative to the body of the person while the person is reading or otherwise using a laptop computer, tablet, E-reader or other mobile electronic device while sitting or lying in a recumbent position.
Latex foam pillow
A pillow is provided that includes a latex foam to provide comfort and support to the body of a user. The pillow includes a latex foam layer connected to at least one additional foam component. An internal foam layer is also included in the pillow, with the latex foam layer and the additional foam component disposed about the internal foam layer.
Upright sleep system
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.
CUSHION FORMED OF ARTICULATELY INTERCONNECTED PILLOW SECTIONS
The cushion is formed of a plurality of articulately interconnected pillow members in side-by-side relation such that the pillow members can be configured in a variety of different orientations. The pillow members are each formed of a resilient core enclosed in fabric covering. The pillow members each have substantially the same size and cylindrical shape with a flattened bottom. Adjacent pillow members are connected by sections of the fabric. The fabric has top and bottom sections. Resilient cores in spaced, parallel relation are situated on the bottom fabric section. The top fabric section is folded over the resilient cores. The top and bottom sections are stitched together along the fabric between adjacent resilient cores to form a flexible connection.
Device and methods for positioning the head of a reclining person
A method for alleviating the dizziness symptoms of a person suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo comprising the steps of: positioning the head of the person on a head-rest device that is formed of a first pillow structure; a second pillow structure with at least one slanted surface; and a non-permanent fastener on at least one surface of the first pillow structure and one surface of the second pillow structure so that the first and the second pillow can be placed in a user-selected configuration one on top of the other and the relative positions of the first pillow structure to the second pillow structure is fixed by the non-permanent fastener. The second pillow structure overhangs the first pillow structure so as to define an overhang region. The method includes the step of adjusting the second pillow structure so as to position a sleeping surface of the second pillow structure at an angle between about 20 degrees and 60 degrees relative to a horizontal reference surface. The overhang region is configured to receive a head and neck region of the person.
BACKREST PILLOW
A pillow is provided that includes a back section having opposite front and back surfaces that each extend between opposite top and bottom surfaces. The surfaces each extend between opposite first and second side surfaces. The pillow includes spaced apart first and second arms that each extend outwardly from the front surface. The first arm has an inner surface and an opposite outer surface that is continuous with the first side surface. The second arm has an inner surface and an opposite outer surface that is continuous with the second side surface. The inner surfaces are continuous with the front surface. The top surface and the side surfaces each include a first portion comprising a first material and a second portion comprising a second material that is different from the first material.
NECK PILLOW WITH CHIN SUPPORTS, MULTIPLE ANCHOR POINTS, AND MAGNETIC CLIP
A neck pillow for supporting the head of a user comprises left, right, and rear portions so as to be generally U-shaped. The neck pillow may include an inner frame which may be made of a material more rigid and denser than an outer material of the pillow so as to provide support. The left and right portions may include a chin support or protrusion so as to increase user comfort. Pillows according to the present disclosure may also include anchor points on each side for adjustment of the degree to which a closure mechanism attached to a connector such as a drawstring can be tightened. A closure mechanism which may be attached to the drawstring portions may include internal components that can prevent or make more difficult disconnection via horizontal force, and may also include magnets for connection of the left and right sides thereof.
