Description

[DESCRIPTION] [Invention Title]
WASHABLE AND HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE PILLOW
[Technical Field]
The present invention relates to a pillow, and more particularly to a ' pillow including embossing mats quilt-sewn to have a plurality of embossed portions, which is capable of being washed for a sanitary use, preventing a filling from forming clumps or bunching to one side even after washing or long-term use, and being adjusted in height by folding the embossing mats in multi-layers or rolling the same according to a user's body shape and sleeping posture regardless of whether the user sleeps on the back or on the side or although the user unconsciously changes the sleeping posture, to thereby enable the user to fall into deep sleep and prevent neck and shoulder aches and deformity.
[Background Art]
In general, a pillow is enclosed in a pillow case. A conventional pillow contains various fillings therein, such as buckwheat husks, chaff, dried herbs, ceramic, synthetic resin, foaming resin, feathers, wool, polyester, latex or the like.
However, such fillings of the pillow cannot be washed, which creates a hygiene problem. In particular, fillings like cereal, cereal husks or dried herbs are perishable by humidity, and provide a good environment for inhabitation of , various bacteria or rat mites, which are causes of dermatitis or allergies. Also, according to a product standard or amount of the fillings, a size and height of the pillow are determined. As such, the pillow cannot be adjusted in the height.
When washing the pillow filled with cotton, the cotton may form clumps or bunch up to one side. Also, the pillow cannot be restored to the original height after it becomes thin due to use for a certain period of time, and is therefore no longer capable of supporting a user's head and neck thereon in the proper position. Consequently, the pillow has to be discarded. In other words, the conventional pillow is not economical to use.
While the user is sleeping on one side with resting his/her head on the conventional pillow having a height adequate for side-lying, if he/she changes unconsciously the sleeping posture to lie on the back, the conventional pillow may cause neck aches or sleep disorders. On the other hand, while the user is sleeping on the back while using the conventional pillow having a height adequate for back-lying, if he/she changes the sleeping posture to lie on the side, the height of the pillow does not match with the height of one shoulder, which causes shoulder aches or sleep disorders.
