AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an orthopedic pillow system that provides customized support for a user's head and neck by using an orthopedic cylindrical neck support. This pillow system can be combined with a pillow case to provide proper support for the user's head and neck. The orthopedic neck support is made of memory foam and can be removed from the pillow case and combined with another pillow and pillow case. The pillow system is designed to provide better support for the user's head and neck by adjusting the level of support for different parts of the body. This helps to prevent muscle strain and fatigue. The patent text also describes the shape and cross-section of traditional pillows and how they fail to provide proper support for the user's head and neck. The invention solves this problem by providing a customized pillow system that can adjust to the user's needs.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the shape and filling of most pillows, they are often less than ideal for providing proper support for a user's head and neck.
Because traditional pillows generally have a uniform filling, using a pillow that adequately supports the neck may result in a filling that is too firm for the head.
Similarly, using a pillow soft enough for the back of the head may provide insufficient support for the neck.
Improper support of the head or neck can lead to muscle strain and fatigue.
Unfortunately, for a user to benefit from the support offered by these pillows, a user must give up their existing pillows and pillow cases.
Requiring users to purchase new pillows and pillow cases can create a burden on the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]In a preferred embodiment, FIG. 1A shows an orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 longitudinally aligned with a pillow 20 the combination of which is encompassed by a pillow case 30. In a preferred embodiment, the orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 is composed of a memory foam and is approximately the length of a sleeping pillow. In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 is uniform throughout its length. The diameter of the orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 is such that it generally approximates the curvature of the user's neck. The orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 can be removed from the pillow case and combined with another pillow 20 and pillow case 30. In a preferred embodiment, the orthopedic cylindrical neck support 10 is aligned at a bottom of the pillow case 31 displacing the pillow 20.

Abstract

A method and system for customizing the orthopedic support of a pillow by inserting an orthopedic neck support into a pillow case with a pillow such that the orthopedic neck support provides support to the curvature of the neck.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to pillows, and more particularly, an orthopedic pillow system providing customized support with independent adjustments for a user's head and neck.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are a wide variety of pillows available on the market. Pillows are generally rectangular, have a generally elliptical cross-section, and are stuffed with a generally uniform filling. Pillows are often used in conjunction with pillow cases. Generally, a pillow case is a soft sleeve with a closed and an open end. A user will generally insert a pillow into a pillow case such that when a user uses the pillow, the pillow case will be between his or her head and neck. The pillow case generally serves to provide an easily cleanable soft interface between the pillow and the user because continued use of a pillow can leave debris in a location where the user has been lying.[0003]Due to the shape and filling of most pillows, they are often less than ideal for pro...
