[0002] A pillow is a type of bedding designed to support the head and neck, typically placed on a bed for enhanced sleep comfort. Its outer shell is often made of soft, breathable fabric and can be paired with pillows of varying fillings, such as memory foam, latex, and down, to suit different sleep preferences. The height and shape of a pillow are crucial to sleep quality and cervical health. Choosing the right one can effectively improve sleep quality and prevent cervical problems, making it an indispensable household item in modern life.

[0003] After searching, a height-adjustable pillow (authorized announcement number: CN 202664998 U) was found. "A height-adjustable pillow aims to overcome the disadvantage of traditional pillows in the prior art that the height cannot be adjusted. A height-adjustable pillow is provided, comprising a pillowcase and a sponge pillow core disposed within the pillowcase. The sponge pillow core is composed of a lower pillow core, an upper pillow core, and a middle pillow core. The upper surface of the lower pillow core and the lower surface of the upper pillow core are wavy curved surface structures with corresponding concave and convex shapes. The upper and lower surfaces of the middle pillow core are wavy curved surface structures with corresponding concave and convex shapes, respectively, to the lower surface of the upper pillow core and the upper surface of the lower pillow core. The middle pillow core is fixedly installed between the lower and upper pillow cores. This utility model can meet the pillow height requirements of different people and is suitable for the environment in which pillows are used." Based on the above-mentioned related technologies, the applicant believes that when the pillow in the above-mentioned technology is actually used, the height of the pillow pad cannot be automatically adjusted according to the user's own needs, and can only be adjusted manually. It is even more impossible to remember the height of the pillow pad according to the user's usage habits.
