Description

Functional pillow {Functional pillow}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a functional pillow, and more particularly, to a functional pillow capable of comfortably supporting a head and neck against a change in a user's lying position.

Sleep is a resting activity that removes the mental and physical fatigue that is accumulated while awake and provides new activity. If enough sleeping activity is provided, a relaxation effect of mind and body is provided, but if not enough sleep activity is not achieved, fatigue can not be removed and attention, concentration and work performance are reduced, which hampers daily life.

Normal sleep activities require adequate sleep time and sleeping environment. We recommend a suitable sleeping time of about 7 hours, though there is a slight difference between individuals. The sleeping environment is to externally maintain the proper environment with the temperature, humidity, and bedding of the bedroom. The room environment for the sleeping is the room temperature of 24 ± 2 ℃ and the humidity is in the range of 60-70% . Bedding, bedding, bedding, pillow, etc. are typical, and maintain the proper body temperature at the time of sleep and support the body to maintain the natural posture.

Among them, the pillow is a bedding that maintains a comfortable sleeping posture by supporting the neck against the movement occurring during the sleep, and studies on the form and the material have been actively carried out from the past. The height of the pillow is also very important. Studies have shown that the use of inadequate height pillows can cause blood circulation problems by bending the blood vessels in the neck, resulting in a risk of cerebral hemorrhage or stroke during long - term use and tense muscles of the cervical vertebrae and neck. As such, the height of the pillow should be designed to maintain a natural neck angle and to relieve blood circulation and nerve compression.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the functional pillow 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 110 and a protrusion 120 for supporting a user's head at a predetermined height.

The body 110 supports the head of the user when the user lies down in a proper posture. The body 110 may be made of elastic material such as urethane, rubber, latex or memory foam. The main body 110 further includes a head rest portion 112 and a cervical support portion 114 and may further include an auxiliary cushion groove 116. The auxiliary cushion groove 116 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 to be described later.

The head rest 112 is recessed so that the user's head is seated on the upper surface of the main body 110 on which the user's head is supported. When the user's head is seated in the headrest 112, the neck connected to the user's head is not bent or pressed. The surface of the head rest 112 may have a concave-convex portion 112a formed in a concave-convex shape. The concave and convex portion 112a acts as a ventilation member so that when the head is seated on the headrest portion 112, air is allowed to pass therethrough, so that sweating does not occur, so that the user can comfortably sleep.

The cervical vertebrae 114 are curvedly protruded to naturally support the shape of the cervical vertebrae in a 'C' shape at the edge of the headrest 112 where the user's cervical vertebra is supported. The cervical spine support 114 can comfortably support the neck to prevent or ameliorate the tortoise neck or elbow neck syndrome, and maintain a proper posture while sleeping so that the user can take a good night's sleep. In addition, the cervical vertebrae 114 has the effect of expanding the airway by expanding the neck to help improve snoring and breathing disorders.

The protrusions 120 are formed to protrude integrally from both sides of the main body 110 when the user lies sideways and the user's head is supported. The protrusion 120 is formed to be higher than the main body 110, and the upper surface of the protrusion 120 is formed with an ear prevention groove 122 concaved to seat the user's ear. Since the ears are seated in the ear-preventing groove 122, the ears are not pressed, and there is no inconvenience caused by the ears being pressed while sleeping.

Although not shown in the drawing, a separate cover (not shown) may be further provided to cover the main body 110 and the protrusion 120, as the case may be.
