Abstract

It is a cushion object designed to provide support and comfort for the head, neck, back, legs, etc. It can be used individually while sitting up or lying down. It is made of any materials suitable for making cushioned objects. Its form and size varies depending on its use, but the characteristics are the same. 1) Head and Neck Support Cushion (Lying Down) From a vertical view, the Head and Neck Support Cushion curves into the middle with even depth curves making a narrow center. From the horizontal viewpoint, the narrow center becomes wider as it expands to the sides forming the body. The streamlines curve in or out forming a crest moon facing in or out at each end. The cushion object has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fibers. The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side. 2) Head and Neck Support Cushion (Sitting Up) From a vertical view, the cushion object curves into the middle with one curve deeper than the other making a narrow center. The deeper curve goes up and around the center and then goes down making the space that holds the neck in place. As in cushion number one, the narrow center becomes wider as it expands to the sides forming the body. The streamlines curve in or out forming a crest moon facing in or out at each end. The cushion has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fiber for extra support and comfort. The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side. 3) Upper and Lower Back Support Cushion From a vertical view, the cushion is arched on the top and curved in at the bottom. The sides form two straight lines going downward. The cushion object has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fibers. The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other. 4) Leg Support Cushion From a vertical view, the cushion curves outward in the front and inward in the back. The cushion object has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fibers.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Moon Rest is a pillow or cushion improved by adding built in fiber or pellet pockets or the combination of pellet pockets on one side and fiber pockets on the other side. The pockets are located in the center or the end of the cushion or pillow. These pockets are designed to provide extra support and comfort making a cushion that can be soft on one side and firm on the other side depending on the user's needs. Moon Rest is also a pillow improved in its form. It has a narrow center and crest moon shaped on the side and ends to provide better support. Some versions of Moon Rest include a pocket for eyewear.
  • Constructing a Moon Rest pillow or cushion consists of several steps. First, the templates should be placed on top of the fabric chosen and the main body and pockets cut. The main body requires two pieces of fabric and the pockets require one piece of fabric per pocket.
  • Second, the pockets should be positioned on the parts of the main body that will be on the inside of the pillow and sewn in place leaving a small opening on one end to allow for the entry of the filler material.
  • Third, the two pieces of fabric for the main body should be placed together with the pockets on the outside. Sew the main body together, leaving one end open to allow for entry of the filler material.
  • Fourth, fill both pockets with pellets, or both pockets with fiber material, or one pocket with pellets and the other with fiber material. Sew the pockets closed to prevent the filler from escaping. Use of a small funnel is recommended to fill the pockets with pellets.
  • Fifth, turn the main body inside out. This will allow the pockets to become enclosed inside the pillow. Fill with fiber material to desired thickness or consistency. Sew the open closed. Fluff the pillow to ensure even distribution of filler material. This completes the pillow construction.
