Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a solution for keeping a pillow in place on a furniture seating apparatus. This is achieved by attaching a cape to the pillow, which can be placed over the back of the furniture seating apparatus. This device allows for easy adjustment and removal from the furniture seating apparatus, providing more comfort and flexibility for users."

Problems solved by technology

However, sometimes, a user of the furniture seating apparatus is not comfortable with the back of the apparatus, or additional support for the head, neck or back of the user is required.
This is particularly true where the back of the furniture seating apparatus is not tall enough to support the neck or head of the user sitting on the furniture seating apparatus.
The problem associated with the use of a pillow in these instances is that the pillow typically will not stay in the desired position against the back of the furniture seating apparatus.
The problem associated with this attempt to resolve the problem is that the pillow is not removable and not adjustable.
There are often users of differing sizes that may wish to use the furniture seating apparatus and, therefore, maintaining the pillow in one position against the back of the furniture seating apparatus may not be satisfactory to all users.
Moreover, some users may desire not to use the pillow at all.
