Abstract
A pillow device supports a person's head without pinching of nerves or arteries. The device includes an envelope and a filling positioned in the envelope wherein the envelope and filling define a pillow. A main section of the pillow has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter edge. A projection of the pillow extends from the perimeter edge and the filling extends into the projection. The projection is substantially L-shaped wherein a distal section of the projection is configured for positioning under an arm of a user when a head of the user is positioned on the main section of the pillow.
Claims16
A pillow device comprising:
- an envelope;
- a filling positioned in said envelope wherein said envelope defines a pillow;
- a main section of said pillow having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter edge coupled to and extending between said top surface and said bottom surface;
- a projection of said pillow extending from said perimeter edge of said pillow, said filling extending into said projection, said projection being substantially L-shaped having a distal section relative to said main section and a connection section coupled to and extending between said distal section and said perimeter edge wherein said distal section of said projection is configured for positioning under an arm of a user when a head of the user is supported by said main section of said pillow;
- and
- an outer covering coupled to and extending around said main section, said connection section of said projection extending outwardly through said outer covering.

A pillow device comprising:
- an envelope;
- a first filling positioned in said envelope wherein said envelope and said filling define a pillow;
- a main section of said pillow having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter edge coupled to and extending between said top surface and said bottom surface, said main section being substantially rectangular, said perimeter edge having a pair of longitudinal sides extending between opposed end sides;
- a projection of said pillow extending from said perimeter edge of said pillow, said filling extending into said projection, said main section and said projection being coplanar, said projection being substantially L-shaped having a distal section relative to said main section and a connection section coupled to and extending between said distal section and said perimeter edge wherein said distal section of said projection is configured for positioning under an arm of a user when a head of the user is supported by said main section of said pillow, said connection section extending from one of said longitudinal sides, said connection section extending from said perimeter edge proximate one of said opposed end sides wherein said connection section is offset from a center of said one of said longitudinal sides, said distal section of said projection extending towards said center of said one of said longitudinal sides parallel to said one of said longitudinal sides;
- an outer covering coupled to and extending around said main section, said connection section of said projection extending outwardly through said outer covering;
- and
- a second filling being encased between said pillow and said outer covering, said second filling having a density different than a density of said first filling.
