The present invention having the above-described constitution and function is as follows according to a minimum supporting condition suitable for a characteristic of each part of a body in a lying posture as follows: Configuration, functions and effects are summarized as follows.

First, a hemispherical shape and a space are required in the headrest portion 12 to move the upper portion of the head more than the lower portion in order to secure free movement of the head.

Second, the bottom surface of the headrest 12 is required to be hemispherical in order to reduce the resistance to the head and the tension of the neck. It is preferable that the shape of the head restraint part 12 satisfying the above condition is hemispherical and a fine upward curved line is formed to the left and right in consideration of the rotation of the head. That is, the inclined surface is finely upwardly inclined in all directions with the center of the headrest 12 as a reference point.

The shape of the head restraint 12 as described above is intended to alleviate the excessive tension in muscles and nerves around the cervical vertebrae. In other words, when the head is moved from the hemispherical floor to the left and right, the center of gravity moves horizontally, while the center of the cervical vertebra increases so that the muscles and nerves around the center become strained. To solve this problem, It has been found that a hemispherical shape has to be constructed in order to cope properly.

To this end, according to the present invention, a head receiving portion is provided in a head receiving portion (12) for supporting a head of a sleeping person, and a head receiving portion has a hemispherical shape and a space .

Third, the shape of the head receiving groove 12G in the receiving part should be hemispherical with respect to the center of the back of the head. The cervical vertebrae 14A is formed in a semicircular shape to support the cervical vertebrae It relaxes the tension of the muscles and acts as a guide to the movement of the cervical vertebrae so that the back of the head is seated in the center of the hemisphere during sleep. This helps the cervical vertebrae to maintain the correct cervical curve without the neck or turtle neck, In the movement of the head, the center of the head is in a hemispherical extension that helps to move to the hemispherical center.

Fourthly, in order to form an ideal head moving line in the middle of the above-mentioned headrest 12 from the shape of the arc (i.e., the hemispherical shape of the head receiving portion), the lateral headrest 12 has a flat . This makes it possible for the user to use the pillow top surface in the center of the hemispherical headrest 12 and the top surface of the side headrest of the left and right side positions in an almost flat state so that the head can be used in a very comfortable state, , The shoulder and cervical vertebrae can be comforted by feeling the height of the pillow.

Fifth, in order to solve the inconvenience of the human body due to extreme bending of all the tissues and structures of the shoulder joint portion pressed by the body pressure in the side posture in which the person lies sideways, (That is, an outer covering CV), and it is preferable that the bottom surface corresponding to the lower shoulder portion of the shoulder is formed to have a downwardly inclined shape finely to the left and right. As described above, the body receiving portion 14 of the upper pillow 10 has a side surface inclined downward to the left and right with respect to the longitudinal center line between the upper and lower ends. The bottom surface composed of the stretchable foam and the vertebrae pillow cover 17 having such a suitable thickness is made of a stretchable material by deforming the shape thereof according to the body shape of the user. Therefore, it is very beneficial to the shoulder health and can provide a comfortable sleep for the user.
