DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The anti-wrinkle/anti-snoring/therapeutic foam pillow accommodates sleep in a more comfortable way for each type of sleep position (prone, supine and side). It does this by utilizing its unique design of a center hole/tunnel 40 and side slopes 30.

[0017] The center hole/tunnel 40 permeates the pillow from the upper surface 10 to the lower surface 20 and permits the face to rest gently facing downward for the prone sleeper, upward for the back sleeper and on one's side.

[0018] The center hole/tunnel 40 permits the user to sleep on their front without having to turn the neck to a 90 degree angle causing neck pain. This interior tunnel 50 creates the air space needed below the face while in the prone position. Sleeping on one's front in this way also smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by gripping the perimeter of the face and causing the skin to gently pull outward.

[0019] The neck rest 60 connects the center hole/tunnel 40 to the front panel 70 and keeps the head in place, neck supported and spine aligned when in the supine position. It does this by gently keeping the face facing upwards so that one's neck does not turn 90 degrees causing neck pain.

[0020] The interior tunnel 50 creates a head cradle that does not permit the head to waver off to one side or the other while sleeping. The neck rest 60 is a recessed curved groove that along with the center hole/tunnel 40 keeps the head facing upwards and allows for a manner of sleeping in which facial skin does not come in contact with the pillow thus reducing any nocturnally caused friction causing facial creases.

[0021] The interior tunnel 50 accommodates long hair when pulled back allowing the user to sleep more comfortably on their back while keeping the hair away from tangling surfaces.

[0022] This center hole/tunnel 40 accommodates the user's ear when side sleeping on the upper surface 10 permitting the user to sleep more comfortably.

[0023] Each side slope 30 (left and right side) accommodates for sleeping on one's side while smoothing out the skin around the eyes, cheeks and mouth. With the side of the face positioned near the top of the slope 30, gravity gently pulls the face downward toward the side panel 90 while the skin remains in the same position so that the skin is pulled taut.

[0024] With a good night's sleep using the side slope 30, creases, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed out on the side that the sleeper is on.

[0025] Using the side slope 30 also helps breathing and reduces snoring by spreading the nasal cavities on that side.

[0026] Using the side slope 30 can also eliminate a clenched jaw by putting pressure on the joint so that it cannot tighten and permit teeth grinding and temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
