Description

The present invention relates to a pillow invention intended to improve sleep.

When using a pillow at bedtime, there is usually only one, and when the hardness and height of the pillow do not match, sleep falls. In addition, while the head is in contact, the temperature of the pillow becomes high, which causes poor sleep. In the conventional pillow, once the surface temperature of the pillow once increases due to body temperature, the high state is maintained as it is. In addition, in the case of a pillow that is simply combined with stored items, the material stored in the pillow cannot be found unless the items stored in the pillow are replaced and used repeatedly.
In addition, the pillow provides a good sleep when it is at a moderately low temperature. However, if a cooling agent is stored in the pillow in order to maintain a low temperature, it will not be effective unless the cooling agent is cooled in the refrigerator every day.
There are a wide variety of items stored in pillows, such as buckwheat husks, feathers, plastic pipes, and low-resilience urethane. There are also pillows that store magnets, charcoal, pebbles and the like in the storage. However, there are individual differences, and it is difficult to find the material that suits you unless you try it.
On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-144286 makes it possible for each person to select a stored item and to make a pillow suitable for him. However, there are few materials that suit you and you can easily change the height of the pillow. Therefore, as a pillow whose hardness and height can be adjusted, according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-64532, by providing side edges at both ends of the pillow and moving the filled material, Pillows that attempt to adjust the hardness are provided.
JP 2003-144286 A JP 2002-65432 A

In order to ensure good quality sleep, it is essential to improve sleep. I want to sleep, but it's mentally painful if I don't fall asleep. Currently, there are few pillows that can be easily changed in height, hardness, and shape when used in order to improve sleep.
Moreover, in the case of the pillow which combined the some stored item of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-144286, when turning upside down, it may become the hardness of one's liking.
Moreover, although the thing of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2002-65432 can adjust a hardness and height by bringing the side edge part in both ends and bringing the contained filling to a head seat part, it can adjust. In the case of the integrated memory foam pillow, it is not possible to freely bring a part to the head seat. Further, since the side string portion and the head seat portion are separated by the tightening string, if the head seat portion is to be raised, the pillow becomes hard at the same time. For a user who desires a pillow with a high head seat and a soft hardness, the pillow cannot provide a good sleep.
With the conventional low-elasticity pillow, the shape is different between the front and the back, so if you turn it over, it will not fit your head well.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned various problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pillow that can be easily adjusted in height, can improve sleep, and provide a good sleep.

The present invention is a pillow in which pillow members containing any one of buckwheat husks, feathers, plastic pipes, low-resilience urethane and the like are connected to each other. Since a plurality of pillow members can be connected and the front and back of each pillow member can be used, the surface area of the pillow increases, and when the pillow is turned upside down, a new surface that has not yet been heated appears. The height of the pillow can be adjusted by changing the combination and the number of pillow members.
Also, the hardness of the pillow can be adjusted by selecting a pillow member that the user feels comfortable with.

Since a plurality of pillow members are connected, when the pillow member 13 is moved onto the pillow member 11 and the pillow member 12 is moved under the pillow member 14 in FIG. 1, the height of the pillow is still the same as before. You can get a good night's sleep because a new, unwarmed surface emerges.
Moreover, since there are a plurality of types of pillow members, the hardness can be adjusted by the user selecting a favorite pillow member.
The user can easily adjust the height of the pillow by combining a plurality of pillow members. As a result, it is possible to provide an environment that can easily lead to a good sleep.
Since the pillow members 11, 12, 13, and 14 can be detached, it is convenient that the pillows can be detached one by one when washing or drying in the sun.
Moreover, in a facility used by an unspecified number of people such as an inn, a hotel, a hospital, etc., a pillow that suits each person's preference can be provided by the user selecting a pillow member before going to bed.
In addition, taking advantage of a larger surface area than a normal pillow, if you are hit by a disaster such as an earthquake while sleeping, you may wear it as a disaster hood.
