Pillow construction

Abstract

A pillow construction is designed to provide a user desirable support to the head and neck of a user, air permeability, ventilation, and air-cooling, to maintain a healthy thermal homeostatis by covering with a breathable cover sheet and a predetermined arrangement of apertures. The pillow construction comprises a head support having a hollow case, made by a solid-state or semi-solid-state material, wherein at least one aperture is formed on a plurality of horizontally opposed side walls on an exterior surface of the head support. A buffer material or a damper material may be selected to be attached onto the surface of the head support for the purpose of enhanced elastic support. A set of holes or slits may be selected to be formed on the surface of the head support to facilitate air convection.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a pillow construction, and more particularly to a pillow construction, wherein a head support having a hollow case in which a surface area of said hollow case is covered by a plurality of apertures, and coated with breathable material to achieve a range of air permeability, circulation, and cooling.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Sleeping is an essential physiological function for energy restoration in life. In fact, studies have shown that sleep duration of seven to eight hours per day is generally an optimal amount in humans. Regular sleep schedule and good environment for sleeping are instrumental in staying healthy and performing up to one's potential during daytime functioning, and as such, it is a necessity to maintain a healthy outlook on the environment and quality of the activity. On the other hand, a poorly arranged sleep environment can be a contributing factor caus...

Benefits of technology

[0012]Seen against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pillow construction defined in the introduction of a breathable cover sheet which enfolds upon the contact region between a user and the pillow construction, a set of apertures, slits, holes, and contoured surface upon the pillow construction, o

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, a poorly arranged sleep environment can be a contributing factor causing sleep deprivation and other sleep intervention.

1. Disclosures showing pillows made of foam materials have shown insufficient support to elevate the head during sleep due to extra softness, and higher susceptibility to shape change as caused by external depression.

2. Disclosures showing pillows made of wooden materials, though featuring great support to the head, have shown to be overly
