AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The disclosed invention is a therapeutic pillow that can be adjusted to support different user positions, such as side and back sleeping. It has a center chamber and two adjustable side chambers that can move fill between them to change the pillow's configuration. The corners of the pillow have a rounded shape to provide more comfort.

Problems solved by technology

Individuals that prefer to utilize more than one of these positions may have trouble finding a pillow that works for them.
Many pillows come short when attempting to provide support for an individual's head, neck, and shoulders typically due to the lack of support from an inability to alter the shape of the pillow to customize the pillow to conform to the individual's body.
This may reduce the ability for an individual to comfortably sleep or rest on their back, sides and / or in the quarter turn position between the back and side positions.
An example of poor joint posture may include a situation where articular joints are forced to stay at end-ranges for prolonged periods of time.
