Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pillows, and particularly to a side-sleeping pillow. Background Art

[0002] A side-sleeping pillow can improve the sleep quality of a sleeper and also enhance the sleep comfort; the side-sleeping posture of a sleeper is beneficial to the protection of the cervical spine and the smoothness of the respiratory system, and can effectively reduce problems such as snoring and gastroesophageal reflux. The side-sleeping pillow needs to adapt to the head and neck curves during side-sleeping and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

[0003] Among them, from the perspective of the materials used and manufacturing processes of side-sleeping pillows, the side-sleeping pillows on the existing market generally adopt memory foam and latex materials and are manufactured into a pillow core through an integral molding process, so that the shape of the pillow core of the side-sleeping pillow conforms to the human curve of the side-sleeping posture; there are also some side-sleeping pillows that adopt natural materials such as cotton and down, and still need to be wrapped with a special pillowcase or inner liner to maintain their shape and support effect. The side-sleeping pillows using natural materials generally have good air permeability and softness, but the supportability of local areas of the pillow body is poor.

[0004] In the existing side-sleeping pillow solutions, through a wavy or grooved pillow body shape, when a sleeper takes a side-sleeping posture and leans on the side-sleeping pillow, the pillow body shape can conform to the human curve of the side-sleeping posture, but there are still certain defects. It is difficult to effectively balance the support requirements of the head and neck in terms of material and shape design of the existing side-sleeping pillows.

[0005] On the one hand, if memory foam and latex materials are adopted and manufactured through an integral molding process, the neck pillow area of the side-sleeping pillow has good supportability, but for the head of the sleeper, the head pillow area is at the lower part of the wavy or grooved shape. Although it can relatively limit the head of the sleeper to prevent the head from rolling and shifting in the side-sleeping posture, due to the limitations of the material itself, the softness of the head pillow area is poor, and the ears of the sleeper are easily squeezed and ischemic; on the other hand, if natural materials such as cotton and down are adopted and wrapped with a pillowcase or inner liner, for the head of the sleeper, the head pillow area of this side-sleeping pillow is relatively soft and has good pillow comfort, and the squeezing force on the ears of the sleeper is small, but due to the limitations of the material itself, the supportability of the neck pillow area is poor, which easily causes the cervical spine of the sleeper to be in an unnatural curved state, thereby causing neck discomfort and affecting the sleep quality in the side-sleeping posture. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a side-sleeping pillow, by changing the pillow body structure of the side-sleeping pillow, enabling different areas of the side-sleeping pillow to have appropriate softness and supportability, and having good side-sleeping pillow comfort.

[0007] According to the purpose of the present application, a side sleeping pillow is provided, including a pillow main body and side pillow blocks; the pillow main body includes a convex part and two side sleeping parts, the two side sleeping parts are respectively located on both sides of the convex part, and the convex part is higher than the side sleeping parts; wherein, a side sleeping pillow groove is provided on the side sleeping part, the side pillow block is arranged in the side sleeping pillow groove, and the softness of the side pillow block is greater than that of the pillow main body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the side sleeping pillow groove is recessed towards the bottom of the pillow main body; the side pillow block is located in the side sleeping pillow groove and is recessed towards the bottom of the pillow main body.

[0009] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the side pillow block is an inclined surface inclined towards the convex part.

[0010] In some embodiments, the upper end of the pillow main body extends towards both sides to form head support extension edges; the head support extension edges are located on the side of the side sleeping part away from the convex part; the head support extension edges are used to increase the support area of the side sleeping part for the head.

[0011] In some embodiments, the upper end of the pillow main body extends towards one side to form two neck support extension edges; the two neck support extension edges respectively match the two side sleeping parts; the neck support extension edges are used to increase the support for the neck by the side sleeping part.

[0012] In some embodiments, an identification groove is provided in the side sleeping pillow groove; the side pillow block is provided with an identification convex block matching the identification groove; the cooperation of the identification groove and the identification convex block is used to guide the setting of the side pillow block.

[0013] In some embodiments, a plurality of ventilation holes are provided in the side sleeping pillow groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pillow main body and the side pillow block are made of memory foam or latex material; the material density of the pillow main body is greater than that of the side pillow block.

[0015] In some embodiments, the pillow main body is made of memory foam or latex material; the side pillow block is made of cotton material, and the side pillow block is a cotton bag.

[0016] In some embodiments, a support pillow block is further included; a support pillow groove is provided on the pillow main body; the support pillow groove is located at the bottom of the pillow main body, the support pillow block is arranged in the support pillow groove, and the bottoms of the pillow main body and the support pillow block are on the same plane; the hardness of the support pillow block is greater than that of the pillow main body.

[0017] According to the technical solution of the present utility model, the side sleeping pillow includes a pillow main body and a side pillow block. The pillow main body includes a convex portion and two side sleeping portions. The two side sleeping portions are respectively located on both sides of the convex portion, and the convex portion is higher than the side sleeping portions. When a sleeper's head rests on the side sleeping pillow through the cooperation of the convex portion and the side sleeping portions, due to the height difference between the convex portion and the side sleeping portions, the head can naturally rotate from the convex portion to the side sleeping portion, realizing a natural change in the sleeping position. By providing a convex portion between the two side sleeping portions, it is difficult for the head in the side sleeping portion to rotate towards the convex portion, thereby limiting the sleeper's head. Among them, the side sleeping portion is provided with a side sleeping pillow groove, and the side pillow block is arranged in the side sleeping pillow groove, and the softness of the side pillow block is greater than that of the pillow main body. When the sleeper adopts a side sleeping position and rests on the side sleeping portion, due to the difference in softness between the pillow main body and the side pillow block, the softness of the head's pillow-falling area is better, and the extrusion on the sleeper's ear is relatively light. At the same time, the pillow-falling area of the sleeper's neck has relatively good support, which can keep the sleeper's cervical spine in a natural curved state, and effectively balance the support requirements of the head and neck in the side sleeping position, making the side sleeping pillow have better pillow-fitting comfort.

[0032] The following further detailed description of the present utility model will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments.

[0033] As used herein, the term "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment herein. The phrase as it appears in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it limited to mutually exclusive independent or alternative embodiments. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand that the embodiments herein can be combined with other embodiments without structural conflict.

[0034] In the description herein, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation", "connection", "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense and can be movable connection, fixed connection, or integrated. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] In the description herein, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "height", "length", "width" are intended to accurately describe the embodiments and simplify the description, rather than limiting the parts or structures involved to having a specific orientation, being installed or operated in a specific orientation.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, which respectively show the perspective view of the side sleeping pillow of the present application and the perspective view of the pillow body 1. The side sleeping pillow includes a pillow body 1 and side pillow blocks 2. Specifically, the side sleeping pillow includes one pillow body 1 and two side pillow blocks 2; the pillow body 1 includes a convex portion 11 and two side sleeping portions 12. The two side sleeping portions 12 are respectively located on both sides of the convex portion 11, and the convex portion 11 is higher than the side sleeping portions 12. Specifically, the pillow body 1 is divided into a pillow platform part and a pillow base part. The pillow platform part is located above the pillow base part. The pillow platform part is used to fit the head and neck of the sleeper, and the pillow base part is used to fit the mattress or other sleeping planes. Among them, the convex portion 11 and the side sleeping portions 12 are located on the pillow platform part of the pillow body 1. The advantage of this solution is that through the cooperation of the convex portion 11 and the side sleeping portions 12, when the head of the sleeper rests on the side sleeping pillow, due to the height difference between the convex portion 11 and the side sleeping portions 12, the head can naturally rotate from the convex portion 11 to the side sleeping portions 12, realizing a natural change in the sleeping position. By providing a convex portion 11 between the two side sleeping portions 12, it is difficult for the head in the side sleeping portion 12 to rotate towards the convex portion 11, thereby limiting the head of the sleeper to maintain the sleeping position as a side sleeping position.

[0037] The side sleeping portion 12 is provided with a side sleeping pillow groove 121, and the opening direction of the side sleeping pillow groove 121 is upward. The side pillow block 2 is arranged in the side sleeping pillow groove 121. Further, the two side pillow blocks 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the convex portion 11. Preferably, the side pillow block 2 matches the side sleeping pillow groove 121. Specifically, the outer contour of the side pillow block 2 fits the outer contour of the side sleeping pillow groove 121, and after the side pillow block 2 is placed in the side sleeping pillow groove 121, the upper surface of the side pillow block 2 is smoothly connected to the pillow platform part of the pillow body 1; the particularly key point is that the softness of the side pillow block 2 is greater than the softness of the pillow body 1. The advantage of this solution is that when the sleeper adopts a side sleeping position and rests on the side sleeping portion 12, due to the difference in softness between the pillow body 1 and the side pillow block 2, the softness of the head's pillow-falling area of the sleeper is better, and the pressure on the sleeper's ears is relatively light. At the same time, the pillow-falling area of the sleeper's neck has relatively good support, which can keep the cervical vertebra of the sleeper in a natural curved state, and thus effectively balance the support requirements of the head and neck in the side sleeping position, making the side sleeping pillow have better pillow-fitting comfort; further, the side sleeping pillow groove 121 is recessed towards the bottom of the pillow body 1, and the side pillow block 2 is located in the side sleeping pillow groove 121 and is recessed towards the bottom of the pillow body 1. Through the recessed structure, the side sleeping pillow has a better fit with the head of the sleeper and can reduce the pressure on the sleeper's ears. Thus, when the sleeper is in a side sleeping position, the head in the side sleeping portion 12 is relatively stable and not prone to lateral rotation, and the sleeping position stability is better.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the side pillow block 2 is an inclined plane that slopes towards the convex portion 11. The advantage of this solution is that when the sleeper is in a side-sleeping position, the sleeper's face is in a slightly upwardly inclined state, which can increase the breathability of the sleeper and also avoid the problem of drooling in the side-sleeping position. Further, when the side pillow block 2 is placed in the side-sleeping pillow groove 121, the highest point of the upper surface of the side pillow block 2 is flush with the highest point of the upper surface of the convex portion 11, and the upper surface of the side-sleeping pillow is in a W shape, having two head-resting areas.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows the front view of the pillow body of the present application. The upper end of the pillow body 1 extends to both sides to form a head support extension edge 13. The head support extension edge 13 is located on the side of the side-sleeping portion 12 away from the convex portion 11. Specifically, the head support extension edge 13 is located on both sides of the pillow platform portion of the pillow body 1. The head support extension edge 13 is used to increase the support area of the side-sleeping portion 12 for the head and can increase the comfort of the sleeper's pillow support. A space for placing the arm in the side-sleeping position is also formed below the head support extension edge 13.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows the perspective view of the second view angle of the pillow body of the present application. The upper end of the pillow body 1 extends to one side to form two neck support extension edges 14. Specifically, the neck support extension edges 14 are located on the side of the pillow platform portion of the pillow body 1 for supporting the neck. The two neck support extension edges 14 respectively match the two side-sleeping portions 12. The neck support extension edges 14 are used to increase the support of the side-sleeping portion 12 for the neck. Further, the lower side surface of the neck support extension edge 14 is an inclined plane that contracts inwardly of the pillow body 1, so that the neck support extension edge 14 has a space margin for downward deformation, thereby providing an appropriate support force for the sleeper's neck.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows the top view of the pillow body of the present application. The side-sleeping pillow groove 121 is provided with an identification groove 1211. Specifically, at least one identification groove 1211 is provided in each of the two side-sleeping pillow grooves 121. The two identification grooves 1211 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the pillow body 1. Preferably, the identification groove 1211 is arranged along the edge of the bottom wall of the side-sleeping pillow groove 121. Further, the structure of the identification groove 1211 is hemispherical.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows the bottom view of the side-sleeping pillow of the present application with the support pillow block removed. The pillow body 1 is provided with a support pillow groove 15. The support pillow groove 15 is located at the bottom of the pillow body 1 and has an opening facing downward. The support pillow groove 15 matches the convex portion 11 of the pillow body 1, and the support pillow groove 15 is located below the convex portion 11 of the pillow body 1.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, the pillow body 1 is divided into a pillow platform part and a pillow base part. The side edge of the pillow platform part protrudes above the pillow base part along the horizontal plane to form a pillow side edge 4, which can increase the pillow-leaning area of the pillow platform part.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a perspective view of the side pillow block of the present application from the first perspective. The side pillow block 2 is in the shape of a sheet, and the outer contours of its upper surface and lower surface are relatively smooth; the upper surface of the side pillow block 2 includes a first convex area 21, a second convex area 22, a third convex area 23, a fourth convex area 24 and a concave area 25. The first convex area 21, the second convex area 22, the third convex area 23 and the fourth convex area 24 are arranged around the concave area 25. The side pillow block 2 is recessed towards the bottom of the pillow body 1 through the concave area 25. The first convex area 21 and the second convex area 22 are oppositely arranged with the concave area 25 as the center. The third convex area 23 and the fourth convex area 24 are also oppositely arranged with the concave area 25 as the center. Further, the first convex area 21 is located on the side of the side pillow block 2 close to the neck support extension edge 14, the second convex area 22 is located on the side of the side pillow block 2 away from the neck support extension edge 14, the third convex area 23 is located on the side of the side pillow block 2 away from the convex part 11, and the fourth convex area 24 is located on the side of the side pillow block 2 close to the convex part 11. Furthermore, the height of the first convex area 21 is relatively lower than the height of the second convex area 22, the height of the third convex area 23 is relatively higher than the height of the fourth convex area 24, and the height of the fourth convex area 24 is relatively lower than the heights of the first convex area 21, the second convex area 22 and the third convex area 23. The advantage of this solution is that the first convex area 21, the second convex area 22, the third convex area 23 and the fourth convex area 24 cooperate to form an inclined plane that slopes towards the convex part 11, so that the face of the sleeper in the side-sleeping position is slightly lifted and tilted upwards. At the same time, the concave area 25 can also reduce the extrusion on the ears and increase the comfort of the ears of the sleeper.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 8 , which shows a perspective view of the side pillow block of the present application from the second perspective. The side pillow block 2 is provided with an identification convex block 20 that matches the identification groove 1211. The cooperation between the identification groove 1211 and the identification convex block 20 is used to guide the setting of the side pillow block 2. Specifically, through the identification groove 1211 and the identification convex block 20, it is possible to clearly distinguish the upper surface and the lower surface of the side pillow block 2 and to better guide the placement direction of the side pillow block 2.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10, which respectively show the perspective view of the support pillow block of the present application and the perspective view of the side sleeping pillow from the second perspective. The side sleeping pillow further includes a support pillow block 3, which is arranged in the support pillow groove 15. The bottom of the pillow main body 1 and the support pillow block 3 are on the same plane. The hardness of the support pillow block 3 is greater than that of the pillow main body 1. The advantage of this solution is that the convex part 11 can maintain a relatively stable protrusion even under the pressure of the user's head, thus ensuring the guiding effect of the convex part 11 on the sleeper to transform into a side sleeping position.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 11 , which shows the perspective assembly view of the side sleeping pillow of the present application. The pillow main body 1 and the side pillow sub-block 2 are made of memory foam or latex material. The material density of the pillow main body 1 is greater than that of the side pillow sub-block 2. The pillow main body 1 and the side pillow sub-block 2 made of memory foam or latex material have good deformability and resilience. In some embodiments, the pillow main body 1 is made of memory foam or latex material, and the side pillow sub-block 2 is made of cotton material. The side pillow sub-block 2 is a cotton package. The pillow main body 1 made of memory foam or latex material can provide good support for the neck of the sleeper, while the side pillow sub-block 2 made of cotton material has good softness and can provide good breathability for the head of the sleeper. By combining the pillow main body 1 made of memory foam or latex material with the side pillow sub-block 2 made of cotton material, the side sleeping pillow can have good pillow comfort.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 12 , which shows the top view of the pillow main body 1 of the present application with increased ventilation holes. In order to avoid the face being stuffy when fitting the side sleeping pillow in the side sleeping position, a number of ventilation holes 1212 are provided in the side sleeping pillow groove 121.

[0049] The purpose of the above embodiments is to make a detailed description of the present invention in combination with the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can understand the technical concept of the present invention.
