Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pillows, and particularly to an adjustable height pillow with a zoned structure. Background Technology

[0002] Current pillow products typically lack differentiated designs for different sleeping positions. Even those designed for all sleeping positions often have fixed heights or are loosely filled, making precise height control and shape maintenance difficult. For example, back-sleeping pillows support the cervical spine through a central depression or neck support structure, while side-sleeping pillows compensate for shoulder height differences by adding raised sections in the left and right areas. These pillows are often made of materials that deform easily under pressure, offering limited shape adjustment and freedom of movement. While they offer some comfort, this is unsustainable. In actual sleep, users frequently switch between back, left, and right sleeping positions, and current pillows struggle to provide personalized, comfortable, and stable support for all positions simultaneously. Some pillows use fixed three-zone, multi-zone, or wave-shaped structures to accommodate both back and side sleeping, but the height relationship between the central and side areas is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted according to different users or mattress conditions. Adjustable pillows often use soft materials, which can collapse or deform during sleep or over time, making precise maintenance difficult and severely impacting the user experience, even posing a threat to cervical spine health.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pillow that can be freely and personally adjusted in different zones to ensure precision and comfort, while maintaining its customized shape over a long period of time to adapt to different people and different sleep environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide an adjustable height pillow with a partitioned structure, comprising: a pillow and an adjustment structure, wherein an anti-slip connection structure is provided between the pillow and the adjustment structure or between two connected adjustment structures, and the adjustment structure is used to adjust the height of part or the entire pillow. The pillow includes a central area and side sleeping areas located on both sides of the central area along its width, and the height of the central area is lower than the height of the side sleeping areas.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the central region is provided with a neck support extending toward the neck. The neck support and the central region together constitute a supine support structure and can maintain a coordinated height relationship with the side-sleeping area based on height adjustment. The neck support is provided with an adjustment structure for adjusting the height and curvature of the neck support.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the neck support is a continuous curved surface structure or a stepped structure.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the central region is further provided with a shoulder support extending toward the shoulder, the upper surface of the shoulder support being provided with an inclined surface extending downward, the starting end of the inclined surface being transitionally connected to the neck support.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pillow and / or adjustment structure are provided with ventilation holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side sleeping area includes a left sleeping area and a right sleeping area, and the heights of the left and right sleeping areas are adjusted by an adjustment structure respectively.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment structure includes several detachable height adjustment modules or shape adjustment modules.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height adjustment module or the shape adjustment module is connected by a detachable surface-fit connection structure.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detachable surface-fit connection structure is a Velcro fabric.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pillow includes a shaping layer and a soft layer.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shaping layer is made of felt or shaping foam.

[0015] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution achieves the following beneficial effects: This adjustable height pillow with a zoned structure clearly divides the pillow structure into a central supine sleeping area and two side sleeping areas on either side, forming a clear height relationship. It provides stable support for the head and neck when sleeping on the back, and provides sufficient height compensation for the shoulders when sleeping on the side, allowing one pillow to adapt to multiple sleeping positions simultaneously. It also maintains the natural curvature of the cervical spine in the supine position and maintains continuity of neck support even with changes in overall or local height, reducing neck fatigue. Furthermore, the adjustable structure allows for independent adjustment based on different body postures and pressure states in the left and right side sleeping directions, significantly improving side sleeping comfort and adaptability.

[0018] To explain in detail the technical content, structural features, objectives, and effects of the technical solution, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable height pillow 1 with a partitioned structure, including: a pillow 1 and an adjustment structure. An anti-slip connection structure is provided between the pillow 1 and the adjustment structure, or between two connected adjustment structures. The adjustment structure is used to adjust part or the overall height of the pillow 1. The pillow 1 includes a central region 102 and side-sleeping regions located on both sides of the central region 102 along its width. The height of the central region 102 is lower than the height of the side-sleeping regions. In this embodiment, the pillow 1 structure is clearly divided into a central supine sleeping area and side-sleeping regions on both sides, forming a clear height relationship. This provides stable support for the head and neck when sleeping on the back, and provides sufficient height compensation for the shoulders when sleeping on the side. This allows one pillow 1 to adapt to multiple sleeping positions simultaneously. It can also maintain the natural curvature of the cervical spine in the supine position and maintain the continuity of neck support when the overall or partial height changes, reducing neck fatigue. Furthermore, by setting the adjustment structure, it can independently adjust for different body postures and force states in the left and right side-sleeping directions, significantly improving the comfort and adaptability of side-sleeping.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the central region 102 is provided with a neck support 105 extending towards the user's neck. The neck support 105 and the central region 102 together constitute a supine sleeping support structure, and can maintain a coordinated height relationship with the side-sleeping area based on height adjustment, that is, keep the height of the central region lower than the height of the side-sleeping area. The neck support 105 is provided with an adjustment structure for adjusting the height and curvature of the neck support 105. In this embodiment, by providing support to the user's neck with the neck support 105, the user is more comfortable. In addition, the neck support 105 is provided with an adjustment structure to adjust the height and curvature of the neck support 105, thereby adapting to the needs of different users and making it more versatile. In this embodiment, the neck support 105 is a continuous curved surface structure or a stepped structure.

[0021] In this embodiment, the side sleeping area includes a left sleeping area 103 and a right sleeping area 104. The heights of the left sleeping area 103 and the right sleeping area 104 are adjusted separately by the adjustment structure, thereby realizing the individual adjustment of the overall height and the height of each zone.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the adjustment structure includes several detachable height adjustment modules 101 or shape adjustment modules. The height adjustment modules 101 are used to adjust the height, while the shape adjustment modules are used to adjust the shape and curvature of the pillow 1. For example, the curvature of the part that fits against the neck can be adjusted by the shape adjustment module, so that the neck support 105 better conforms to the curvature of the user's neck. In the above embodiments, the height adjustment modules or shape adjustment modules are connected by a detachable surface-fit connection structure, which can be a Velcro fabric.

[0023] In some embodiments, the central region 102 is further provided with a shoulder support portion 106 extending towards the shoulder. The upper surface of the shoulder support portion 106 is provided with an inclined surface extending downward. The starting end of the inclined surface, that is, the higher end of the inclined surface, is transitionally connected to the neck support portion 105. In this embodiment, by providing support to the shoulder with the shoulder support portion 106, the pressure on the neck can be shared, making the user more comfortable when lying flat or sleeping on their side.

[0024] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the pillow 1 and / or the adjustment structure are provided with ventilation holes 107 to facilitate ventilation for side sleepers.

[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to maintain a certain shape while achieving comfort, the pillow 1 includes a shaping layer 108 and a soft layer 109. The shaping layer 108 can be made of felt or shaped foam; the soft layer 109 can be made of soft cloth, wool, etc.

[0026] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of the present invention, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
