Abstract
A pillow for supporting the head of a reclining body. The pillow has a core formed with variable displacement parameters along the length and width and the pillow has a cover formed of a soft material for encasing the core. The cover imparts a soft feeling to the head on the pillow and distributes the weight of the head over the core. The core and the cover are displaced by the head as a function of the displacement parameters of the core so that the pillow functions to control the alignment of the head in a comfortable sleeping position while maintaining natural neck and head alignment.
Claims21
A pillow for supporting a head and neck of a reclining body on a mattress where the pillow has a pillow length, a pillow width and a pillow thickness comprising,
- a core having core variable displacement parameters along the pillow length and the pillow width in the direction of the pillow thickness for supporting the head in a non-distorting aligned position,
- a cover having a cover chamber containing a fill where the cover chamber has a chamber thickness forming a portion of the pillow thickness, where the fill has fill displacement parameters and where the core is located within a core opening formed by the cover so that the cover encases the core, and
- whereby the cover imparts a soft feeling to the head supported by the pillow and whereby the core and the cover are displaced by the head as a function of the displacement parameters to support the head in the non-distorting aligned position.
A pillow for supporting a head and neck of a reclining body on a mattress where the pillow has a pillow length, a pillow width and a pillow thickness comprising,
- a core having a substantially uniform thickness and including a plurality of holes providing core variable displacement parameters along the pillow length and the pillow width in the direction of the pillow thickness for supporting the head in a nondistorting aligned position, the core including a central region and a first region on one side of the central region and a second region on another side of the central region,
- a cover having a chamber for receiving a fill where the chamber has a chamber thickness forming a substantial portion of the pillow thickness, where the fill has fill displacement parameters substantially softer than the core variable displacement parameters and where the core is located within a core opening so that the cover encases the core, and
- whereby the cover imparts a soft feeling to the head supported by the pillow and whereby the core and the cover are displaced by the head as a function of the displacement parameters to support the head in the non-distorting aligned position.
A pillow for supporting a head and neck of a reclining body on a mattress where the pillow has a pillow length, a pillow width and a pillow thickness and where the mattress has a mattress length, a mattress width and a mattress thickness where the mattress includes mattress variable displacement parameters along the mattress length and the mattress width in the direction of the mattress thickness for supporting the body in a non-distorting aligned position comprising,
- a core having core variable displacement parameters along the pillow length and the pillow width in the direction of the pillow thickness for supporting the head in a non-distorting aligned position when located on the mattress with the length of the pillow perpendicular to the length of the mattress, said core variable displacement parameters tailored to match the mattress variable displacement parameters for alignment of the head and other parts of the body,
- a cover having a cover chamber containing a fill where the cover chamber has a chamber thickness forming a substantial portion of the pillow thickness, where the fill has fill displacement parameters and where the core is located within a core opening formed by the cover so that the cover encases the core, and
- whereby the cover imparts a soft feeling to the head supported by the pillow and whereby the core and the cover are displaced by the head as a function of the displacement parameters to support the head in the aligned position.
