Description

This application relates to the technical field of bedding, and more particularly to a pillow that meets different head height requirements when sleeping on your back or side.

Traditional pillows are square and block-shaped overall, with a soft material filled inside the pillowcase and a small groove in the center.

A search revealed that publication number CN218651233U discloses a pillow. The pillow includes a main body with a storage cavity. The main body includes side walls, a first wall suitable for a headrest, and a second wall opposite the first wall. The side walls are connected between the first and second walls, and the second wall has a reference plane. The side walls are provided with first and second heat dissipation holes, both of which communicate with the storage cavity. The design of the first and second heat dissipation holes achieves a better heat dissipation effect without excessively increasing costs. The pillow is equipped with multiple units to provide the user with various health services, significantly improving the user experience.

However, when people sleep, they always need to find a comfortable position, whether they sleep on their back or on their side. However, with pillows made of the same material and the same height, it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy the necessary comfortable head height when sleeping on your back and on your side, and different sleeping positions can cause discomfort.

As a result, the pillow supports the head at an inappropriate height for long periods of time. When sleeping on your back, the cervical vertebrae are suspended in the air or elevated, and when sleeping on your side, the pillow is not high enough, causing the head to drop, naturally creating prolonged support and traction on the neck. Even short periods of use can cause excessive flexion of the cervical vertebrae, putting tension on the muscles and ligaments around the neck. This blocks the passage of the vertebral artery, and people often experience stiff neck, dizziness, and fatigue after waking up.

The overall result is poor quality sleep, difficulty falling into deep sleep, and even insomnia. Prolonged use of such pillows can lead to fat accumulation behind the neck and inflammation in the neck and shoulders.

To solve the above problems, it is necessary to provide pillows that meet the different head height requirements when sleeping on your back or side.

The above information disclosed in this Background Art section is intended solely to aid in understanding the background art of the concept of this application, and may therefore include information that does not constitute prior art.

Based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the problem that this application aims to solve is to provide a pillow that meets the different head height requirements when sleeping on one's back or side, and to solve the head support problems provided by conventional pillows when sleeping on one's back or side.

The technical solutions adopted in this application to solve this technical problem are as follows:
A pillow that meets different head height requirements when sleeping on one's back or side, comprising a nape portion, with side portions integrally formed at both ends of the nape portion, the nape portion and both side portions being attached to the periphery of the head by connecting members, or the nape portion and both side portions being arranged flat without using connecting members;
The inner surface of the nape portion is a posterior concave surface that is concave inward, and the inner surfaces of the side portions are lateral convex surfaces that are convex outward,
The bottom surface of the nape portion is provided with a rear convex portion that is outwardly convex, and the transition region between the side and the nape portion is provided with a side fastening portion that is inwardly concave.

Preferably, the connecting member includes a hook surface tape and a loop surface, the hook surface tape being sewn to the outer wall of one of the sides away from the nape, and the loop surface being sewn to the outer wall of the other side away from the nape, with the hook surface tape and loop surface being adhesively arranged.

Preferably, the total length of the nape and its two sides is 66 cm.

Preferably, the minimum thickness of the central nape portion is 3 cm, and the thickness gradually increases towards both sides of the nape portion until the maximum thickness of the side portions reaches 14 cm, with the difference in height between the nape portion and the side portions being 10 to 11 cm.

Preferably, the maximum width of the side portions is 15 cm, the maximum width of the side fastening portions is 9.4 cm, and the maximum width of the nape portion is 19 cm.

The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
The pillow's shape is designed based on the rational height for back and side sleeping, allowing the user to become one with the pillow while sleeping, and allowing the head to be placed at an appropriate and comfortable height whether sleeping on the back or side. The pillow is no longer simply flat, but fits the head perfectly, becoming a pillow with multiple heights, allowing the body to quickly relax after turning over in sleep without putting strain on the cervical vertebrae. Compared to conventional pillows, the turning pillow more effectively supports falling asleep and is a tool for improving sleep quality.
The height difference formed by the curved surface of the pillow itself prevents the feeling of falling when sleeping with the head turned to the side due to the pillow being too low, and the pain and other ailments caused by bending the cervical vertebrae when sleeping on the back due to the pillow being too high.
In addition to the above objects, features and advantages, the present application further comprises other objects, features and advantages.The present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

The examples and features of the present application may be combined with each other as long as no contradictions arise. Below, the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the examples, with reference to the drawings.

In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are not all embodiments, but only some of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the embodiments of the present application without exerting any inventive effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the present invention provides the following embodiments.
Example 1
This pillow meets the requirements for different head heights when sleeping on one's back or side, and includes a nape part 2, with side parts 1 integrally formed on both ends of the nape part 2, and the nape part 2 and the side parts 1 jointly form a pillow that meets the sleeping state, and the nape part 2 and the side parts 1 on both sides thereof are arranged flat on the bed, and can support the head when lying down.
The inner surface of the nape part 2 is a rear concave surface 5 recessed inward, the inner surface of the side part 1 is a side convex surface 3 convex outward, and the bottom surface of the nape part 2 is provided with a rear convex part 6 convex outward.

When a person is sleeping, the distance between the head and the bed surface is mainly divided into two parts.
When sleeping on one's back, it is the occipital region, and when sleeping on one's side, it is both sides of the head. The difference in distance between these two regions and the bed surface is at least 10-11 cm. Conventional pillows have difficulty simultaneously satisfying the height difference between these two regions, so it is necessary to search for the most comfortable position for the pillow while sleeping. In other words, if the pillow height is on the same plane, it cannot automatically adjust to the required height of the head relative to the pillow depending on the human body structure and sleeping position.
The pillow has an inwardly recessed rear concave surface 5 and a minimum thickness of 3 cm in the central part of the nape portion 2, which allows it to support the neck and back of the head when lying down in bed. The bottom surface of the nape portion 2 has an outwardly protruding rear convex portion 6, and the maximum width of the nape portion 2 is 19 cm, which increases the contact area between the nape portion 2 and the neck of the human body and further satisfies the requirements for a pillow that supports the neck and back of the head when lying down.

The inner surface of the side portion 1 is a convex side surface 3 that is convex outward, and the thickness of the side portion 1 gradually increases towards both sides of the nape portion 2 until it reaches a maximum thickness of 14 cm. The height difference between the nape portion 2 and the side portion 1 is 10-11 cm, so that when the head and neck are lying on the side portion 1, the head slides down into the nape portion 2, ensuring that the head and neck are at an optimal height.

Example 2
By making the following improvements based on Example 1, the requirements for a pillow that supports the head when sleeping on one's side can be met.
The transition area between the side portion 1 and the nape portion 2 is provided with an inwardly recessed side fastening portion 7, and the nape portion 2 and the side portions 1 on both sides thereof are secured around the head by connecting members 4, which include a hook surface tape 41 and a loop surface 42, with the hook surface tape 41 sewn to the outer wall of one side portion 1 away from the nape portion 2 and the loop surface 42 sewn to the outer wall of the other side portion 1 away from the nape portion 2, and the hook surface tape 41 and the loop surface 42 being arranged by being adhesively bonded.

After placing the head on the nape portion 2 using the added connecting member 4, the hook surface tape 41 and the loop surface 42 are glued together, and the side portion 1 and nape portion 2 are placed around the head, forming a complete, circular pillow that encircles the head. The total length of the nape portion 2 and the side portions 1 on either side is 66 cm, which is the average adult head circumference of approximately 54 cm. In other words, by adding a pillow with an increased filling height around the head, a closed pillow is formed that is optimal for the head height when sleeping on one's side or back. Simulation calculations show that the length of the peripheral pillow is approximately 66 cm.
By providing the outwardly convex side surface 3 and the inwardly concave rear surface 5, the curved surface of the pillow itself creates a difference in height when using the turning pillow, preventing the feeling of falling when sleeping with the head turned sideways due to the pillow being too low, and the pain and other ailments caused by bending the cervical vertebrae due to the pillow being too high when sleeping on one's back.When lying down or turning from side to side, the head and pillow together form a complete circle, so that no matter how the body turns, the head is always kept at the same horizontal height, reducing strain on the neck.In other words, when the body turns from side to side, the center of the head is used as the axis, and the height is horizontal.

In addition, the transition area between the side section 1 and the nape section 2 is provided with an inwardly recessed side clamping section 7. The maximum width of the side section 1 is 15 cm, and the maximum width of the side clamping section 7 is 9.4 cm. The narrowest part effectively prevents pressure on the ears caused by ordinary pillows, allowing all organs of the head to relax.

The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the present application. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present application. All amendments, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
