Hybrid Support Pillow

Abstract

A novel form of hybrid pillow is proposed which has memory foam in cylindrical form and shredded form is included. The hybrid support pillow structure provides comfort for all 3 types of sleepers. People sleep in various positions and typically change positions during sleep, so this is the universal solution for all types of sleepers.

Claims

1. A cylindrical base hybrid pillow having an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge, the pillow comprising two parts: a firmer part and a softer part comprising: a memory foam in the cylindrical piece and base; a pillow filled with shredded memory foam;

2. The pillow of claim 1, where the firmer and softer parts are internally sealed together along the entirety of their surfaces.

3. The pillow of claim 1, where the firmer lower part has different pillow material density than the pillow material of the softer upper part.

6. The pillow of claim 1, where the firmer part is made from the same pillow material as the softer part.

7. The pillow of claim 1 where the two parts, once sealed together, are covered by a covering, where the covering includes a top layer and bottom layer.

8. The pillow of claim 1 where the firmer part and a softer part are made of memory foam.

9. The pillow of claim 1 where the bottom surfaces of the firmer lower part and softer upper part are generally flat.

2. A pocket where the cylindrical pillow stays secure at the base and the filling of the pillow does not move all around the base of the pillow.

[0030] The apparatus and method components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

[0031] The apparatus and method components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0033] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0034] Accordingly, this is a new design for bed pillows. Most pillows are uniform in materials as they are either solid memory foam or filled with all shredded memory foam, or all latex, or filled with all down/synthetic down filling. However, the hybrid support pillow combines a solid cylinder made of memory foam which provides the best support for the curvature of the neck and shredded memory foam which creates a softer area for superior comfort for the head and face.

[0035] This pillow is also ideal for side sleepers who place a pillow between their legs when they sleep. The firmness of the cylinder at the base of the pillow forms ideal space between the knees for proper spine alignment, while the soft area of the pillow provides improved comfort for the legs.

[0036] The advantage of the hybrid neck support pillow is that it provides exceptional support for the curvature of the neck with a solid memory foam cylinder and maintains comfort for the head and face with shredded memory foam (or alternatively, synthetic down filling). There are no foreseeable disadvantages to the hybrid support pillow.

[0037] The target market consists of people who want the best pillow so they can get the best rest possible. People sleep in various positions and typically change positions during sleep, so this is the universal solution for all types of sleepers.

[0038] The hybrid pillow is made of a long cylindrical piece of memory foam that is 3 to 4 inches in diameter and between 26 inches and 36 inches long (depending on the size of the pillow) that is secured and runs along the base of the pillow to provide neck support. The rest of the pillow is filled with shredded memory foam to provide comfort to the head and face (which is ideal for side and stomach sleepers). The pillow ranges in size from Standard (20 inches by 26 inches), Queen (20 inches by 30 inches), and King (20 inches by 36 inches). The pillow zips up at one end so that shredded memory foam filling can be added or removed to adjust the firmness for personal preference.

[0039] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0040] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiment illustrated and described. Rather, it is intended that the scope of this invention be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0041] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
