I-shaped pillow to maintain hairstyle

Abstract

An I-shaped pillow has a curved slot that fits the contour of a person's head and neck to allow them to comfortably sleep on their back. The pillow further includes a slot at the bottom to prevent the pillow from lying flat on a surface. This prevents a user from having their hair make contact with pillow, providing people with a convenient way to get a good night's sleep without flattening their hairstyle. The pillow provides neck support while sleeping, helping relieve neck pain. The pillow can be used by anyone looking to maintain their hairstyle during their sleep.

Problems solved by technology

There are not many options to do so outside of uncomfortably propping their head, neck and shoulders up.

If people try to sleep without protecting their hairstyle, their hair can become frizzy, matted or pulled out of place during the night.

Moreover, if someone wants to rest during the day by taking a quick nap, one could end up spending more time re-doing their hair than sleeping, as many people may not want the flattened “nap hair” evident.
