Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a bedroom pillow and the like, and particularly to the construction of a reversible pillow that seeks to enhance comfort based on the seasonality of sleeping conditions.[0002]Sleep comfort is a field that continues to draw attention given the lack of sleep suffered by many people in today's society. Given the changes in temperature throughout the year in many geographic locations, a need exists to provide a pillow that suits these changes in temperature. Many people sweat during the night creating a less comfortable sleeping experience around their head and neck area. Conversely, the cooler temperatures during the year create a need for warm materials for more insulation. Prior attempts to provide pillows with different comfort characteristics include US published application 20070056108 A1 (Nikolopoulos) disclosing a face rest with gel fill that may be adjusted to a temperature to heat or cool a user's face. U.S. Pat. No. 2,...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a personal seasonal pillow that can accommodate different seasonal temperatures. It consists of a reversible pillow with a cool side and a warm side. The cool side has a gel layer containing a fluid gel for coolness during warmer months, while the warm side has an insulation layer with a fill material for warmth during cooler months. The pillow has a resilient layer and a pillow cover. The resilient layer has a contoured surface with ridges and channels that help circulate the fluid gel across the pillow when the person moves. The fill includes natural feathers, natural down, natural fibers, synthetic fibers, synthetic material, cotton, and a mixture thereof. The pillow also includes indicators associated with the cover to differentiate the warm and cool sides. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a comfortable pillow that can adjust to different seasonal temperatures and provide efficient cooling or warming for the user.

Problems solved by technology

Many people sweat during the night creating a less comfortable sleeping experience around their head and neck area.

However, in spite of the prior efforts, a truly seasonal pillow having reversible sides providing effective warming and cooling has not been provided.

Thus, it can be seen that a pillow which aids in mitigating temperature changes and other associated comfort challenges is deserving of much consideration.
