Abstract
A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.

A pillow comprising:
- a first panel;
- a second panel opposite the first panel;
- and
- a gusset joining the first and second panels, the gusset being flat from the first panel to the second panel, the pillow comprising a plurality of ports extending through the gusset,
- wherein the first panel, the second panel and the gusset define an outer cover having an inner surface defining a chamber,
- wherein an inner cover is positioned within the chamber, the inner cover being resistant to airflow therethrough, and
- wherein the inner cover is filled with a fill material such that the pillow is free of springs therein.
