Claims

1. A pillow that aims to prevent simple snoring and sleep apnea that occurs when lying and/or sleeping supine position with lying faces downwards, the pillow comprising: a face cavity opened on the surface of a pillow body, allowing the pillow to remain stable and the people to breathe while lying on the face; a face pad in said pillow body of face cavity which distributes the weight of the head to the parts touching the face when lying face downwards and can take the shape of the face.

2. A pillow according to claim 1, comprising an arms gap which allows the arms to move forward when sleep by using the pillow and provides lying comfortable by the way of cross around the pillow.

3. A pillow according to claim 1, wherein said face pad is made of a viscoelastic sponge material.

4. A pillow according to claim 1, wherein the pillow body, which allows the pillow to remain stable, is a hard-built sponge made of polyurethane material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] In this detailed description, preferred structures of the anti-snoring pillow (1) of the invention are explained only for a better understanding of the subject matter and without any restrictive effect.

[0032] The pillow (1) of the invention eliminates all the above-mentioned problems, and minimizes sleep apnea and snoring. In the middle of the said pillow (1), there is a face pad (2) having a soft spongy structure. The pillow (1) comprises a face pad (2) that contacts with the face when lying facedown position distributing the weight of the head to the parts where the face is in contact on the pillow and can take the shape of the face. The pillow face pad (2) that is a soft-built and can take the shape of the face made of a viscoelastic sponge material. The visco is a material that is capable of heat formation and does not irritate the skin. The pillow is shaped by the weight of the head of a person lying on the face pad (2) made of said visco-material and with this flexibility, equal pressure is applied to each point around the face.

[0033] The parts that do not touch/contact with the face constitutes the pillow body (3). The pillow body (3) is intended to provide the use of pillow (1) in lying positions such as on the back, to right and left. Moreover, with its full structure, it ensures that the pillow (1) remains stable in the supine position, in face downwards. For this reason, it is designed using a more rigid sponge material. Thus, the person can sleep comfortably in the prone position (lying face downwards) without any difficulty in breathing while using the anti-snoring pillow (1).

[0034] In the middle part of the said pillow (1), there is a cavity that allows breathing comfortably while lying face downwards. This cavity in the form of facial lines is defined as the face cavity (4) and the face pad (2) surrounds this face cavity. In addition to all these, there is another opening called the arms gap (5) at the back of the pillow (1). The arms gap (5) allows the arms to move forward and allows to sleep in accordance with the spine.

[0035] By its structure, the pillow (1) can be designed by using all the materials (sponge, plastic, cotton, fiber, wool, etc.) used in the manufacturing of a pillow (1). It is possible to use various materials as it is designed for individuals to sleep in the prone position, without having difficulty in breathing. High or low-pressure polyurethane insulation foam can be injected into the mold as polyurethane liquid by injection machine and can be densified with heat. When cooled, the pillow body (3) containing the desired hardness sponge structure can be obtained. Mentioned pillow (1) provides the opportunity to sleep in face downwards and allows the airline to stay clear (open). Thus, it prevents snoring and sleep apneas. The pillow (1) achieves to increase the quality of sleep especially in patients with simple snoring and OSAS complaints.
