Abstract
A pillow component includes a material layer having a top layer, a bottom layer and one or more sides separating the top layer from the bottom layer, and an interior spaced defined between the top layer and the bottom layer, the interior space configured to receive a filler. The material layer is formed by seamless knitting and is seamless about an entirety of a periphery extending in a first direction around the top layer, the bottom layer and the one or more sides. The characteristics of the knit material layer or fabric can be widely varied. A pillow includes the pillow component and a filler in the interior space.
Claims18
A pillow component comprising:
- a material layer having a top layer, a bottom layer and one or more sides separating the top layer from the bottom layer;
- and an interior spaced defined between the top layer and the bottom layer, the interior space configured to receive a filler, wherein the material layer is formed by seamless knitting and is seamless about an entirety of a periphery extending in a first direction around the top layer, the bottom layer and the one or more sides, wherein the material layer is knit from more than one type of yarn, the more than one type of yarn have differing characteristics from each other type of yarn, the more than one type of yarn having different densities from each other type of yarn, wherein the material layer is knitted so as to have greater breathability in one area than in a different area, and wherein the material layer further includes one or more ribbed sections having a different elasticity than another section of the material layer.
A pillow comprising:
- a material layer having a top layer, a bottom layer and one or more sides separating the top layer from the bottom layer;
- an interior spaced defined between the top layer and the bottom layer and a filler disposed in the interior space, wherein the material layer is formed by seamless knitting and is seamless about an entirety of a periphery extending in a first direction around the top layer, the bottom layer and the one or more sides, wherein the material layer is knit from more than one type of yarn, the more than one type of yarn have differing characteristics from each other type of yarn, the more than one type of yarn having different densities from each other type of yarn, wherein the material layer is knitted so as to have greater breathability in one area than in a different area, and wherein the material layer further includes one or more ribbed sections having a different elasticity than another section of the material layer, the one or more ribbed sections configured to allow for expansion of the material layer.
