睡眠や横たわった姿勢で休息する場合に使用される枕は、其の使い心地や使い勝手が重要な要素であることから、健康枕・安眠枕などとして形状や機能に関する様々な提案がなされている。
しかしながら、例えば特許文献１のように木材の香り効果を利用する場合その効果の持続性に問題があり、また例えば特許文献２のように特殊な材料を特殊な加工を施して使用する物では、素材の供給量やコストの面で問題がある。Pillows used when sleeping or resting in a lying position are important factors in their comfort and usability, and various proposals regarding shape and function have been made as health pillows and sleep pillows.
However, for example, when using the scent effect of wood as in Patent Document 1, there is a problem in the sustainability of the effect, and for example, in a thing using a special material with special processing as in Patent Document 2, There are problems in terms of material supply and costs.

杉や檜などの木材の香りが精神安定効果を有することは広く知られており、これを枕の材料として用いれば、その香りの精神安定効果により安眠や安らぎに寄与し、健康促進が期待できる。更に林業において其の処分に困っている間伐材の活用が促進され、いわゆる健康枕の低コスト化を実現でき、香りが薄れてきた場合には容易にチップを交換または使い捨てが出来る。It is widely known that the scent of wood such as cedar and camellia has a tranquilizing effect. If this is used as a pillow material, the scent of the scent contributes to sleep and peace of mind and can be expected to promote health. . Furthermore, the use of thinned wood that is difficult to dispose of in forestry is promoted, so that the cost of so-called health pillows can be reduced, and when the fragrance has faded, chips can be easily replaced or disposable.
