[0029] The pillows currently on the market cannot meet people's needs for high-quality sleep. Most pillows are easily deformed during use. In addition, most pillows on the market do not conform to the curve of the human neck. The pillows are too soft and cannot provide good support for the human neck, which is not a good role in protecting the neck.
[0030] The utility model provides a pillow.
[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pillow 100 includes:
[0032] A pillowcase 1 having a filling cavity formed therein, the pillowcase 1 having a first contact area 11 and a second contact area 12 arranged along a width direction, wherein the first contact area 11 is used to contact the user's neck, and the second contact area 12 is used to contact the user's head; and
[0033] The spacer 2 is arranged in the filling cavity to divide the filling cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The first sub-cavity is filled with a first filler, and the second sub-cavity is filled with a second filler. The hardness of the first filler is greater than the hardness of the second filler. The first sub-cavity is set corresponding to the first contact area 11, and the second sub-cavity is set corresponding to the second contact area 12.
[0034] In the technical solution of the present invention, the pillow 100 is provided with different contact areas and filler hardnesses. The first contact area 11 is used to support the user's neck, and the second contact area 12 is used to support the user's head. The spacer 2 divides the filling cavity into two sub-cavities, and the two sub-cavities are divided correspondingly according to the positions of the two contact areas on the pillowcase 1. In this solution, the first sub-cavity corresponding to the first contact area 11 is filled with a first filler, and the second sub-cavity corresponding to the second contact area 12 is filled with a second filler. The hardness of the first filler is greater than that of the second filler, so that the first contact area 11 of the neck can provide stronger support, while the second contact area 12 of the head is more comfortable due to the softer filling. The neck and head can obtain different support strengths. This differentiated hardness design can meet the support and comfort needs of different parts of the body, help maintain the natural curve of the cervical spine, reduce neck pressure, prevent cervical diseases, and thus obtain the best sleeping experience.
[0035] Specifically, there are no specific limitations on the widths of the first and second contact areas 11, 12. For example, the first contact area 11 is typically located at the narrower end of the pillow 100, contacting the user's neck. The filling within it is relatively hard, providing sufficient support to prevent the neck from sinking. The width of the first contact area 11 can be between 1 / 3 and 1 / 2 of the width of the entire pillow 100. The second contact area 12 is typically located at the wider end of the pillow 100, contacting the user's head. The filling within it is relatively hard, and can be slightly flat or slightly concave to accommodate the weight and shape of the head. The width of the second contact area 12 can be between 1 / 2 and 2 / 3 of the width of the entire pillow 100. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are no specific limitations on the types of the first and second fillings, as long as the hardness of the first filling is significantly greater than that of the second filling and the neck support function is achieved.
[0036] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The width of the first contact area 11 accounts for 1 / 5-3 / 5 of the total width of the pillowcase 1. For example, the ratio of the width of the first contact area 11 to the total width of the pillowcase 1 can be 1 / 5, 2 / 5, or 3 / 5. In this way, this design ratio can provide more precise support for the neck. This width range ensures that the pillow 100 can adapt to different neck lengths and user preferences, thereby effectively maintaining the natural curve of the cervical spine. Optionally, the width of the second contact area 12 accounts for 2 / 5-4 / 5 of the total width of the pillowcase 1. For example, the ratio of the width of the second contact area 12 to the total width of the pillowcase 1 can be 2 / 5, 3 / 5, or 4 / 5. This design ratio can provide a wider comfort area for the head, allowing the head to move freely during sleep and find the most comfortable posture.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, along the length of pillow 100, the length of first contact area 11 is shorter than that of second contact area 12. The shorter neck contact area helps stabilize the neck position, reducing neck movement during sleep, thereby avoiding pain and discomfort caused by excessive neck movement. The specific length of first contact area 11 is not limited; it is designed to better adapt to the shape and size of different users' necks, thereby providing more tailored support and improving neck comfort.
[0038] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 Along the length of pillow 100, the middle portion of first contact zone 11 is recessed, creating a smooth, curved depression between the pillowcase 1 and the neck. This better accommodates the physiological curvature of the cervical spine and provides more tailored support for the neck. Furthermore, this central recess allows the neck to rest more comfortably within pillow 100 during sleep, reducing neck discomfort and dangling, thereby improving overall sleep comfort. The specific curvature of the recess can be designed based on the user's specific needs.
[0039] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An extension 111 is provided along the edge of the first contact area 11 facing away from the second contact area 12. This extension 111 protrudes away from the second contact area 12 and is filled with a third filler that is harder than the second filler. The protruding design of extension 111 provides better support for the neck, helping to align the cervical vertebrae with the spine, thereby reducing cervical pressure and potential pain. Extension 111 also reduces shoulder pressure when sleeping on your side, providing more support for the neck and reducing the potential for shoulder pressure.
[0040] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The surface of the extension portion 111 facing away from the first contact area 11 is arranged in an arc shape. The surface of the extension portion 111 is arranged in an arc shape. There is no specific limitation on the specific size of the arc. It is based on the curve that can fit the neck, provide a uniform and appropriate support surface, reduce the pressure points on the neck; it is also beneficial to stabilize the position of the neck and reduce the movement of the neck during sleep. In addition, the arc surface of the extension portion 111 can adapt to the changes in the sleeping posture of different users, and can provide appropriate neck support whether sleeping on the side, back or stomach. Optionally, the extension portion 111 is arranged in the middle of the length direction of the first contact area 11, that is, the extension portion 111 is in the middle of the entire pillow 100, which helps the user maintain a correct posture during sleep and reduces physical discomfort caused by a bad sleeping posture.
[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pillowcase 1 is provided with a first zipper, which is arranged along the edge of the first contact area 11 to open or close the first sub-cavity. For example, it can be arranged along a portion of the first contact area 11. The provision of the first zipper facilitates the cleaning, replacement or rearrangement of the first filling material in the first sub-cavity, thereby maintaining the hygiene of the pillow 100 and extending its service life. In addition, the user can also conveniently adjust the filling amount of the first filling material according to personal preferences and neck needs, thereby adjusting the support hardness for the neck. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sub-cavity can also be opened or closed by providing Velcro on the pillowcase 1.
[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pillowcase 1 is provided with a second zipper, which is arranged along the edge of the second contact area 12 to open or close the second sub-cavity. For example, it can be arranged along a portion of the second contact area 12. The provision of the second zipper facilitates the cleaning, replacement or rearrangement of the second filling material in the second sub-cavity, thereby maintaining the hygiene of the pillow 100 and extending its service life. In addition, the user can also conveniently adjust the filling amount of the second filling material according to personal preferences and neck needs, thereby adjusting the support hardness for the head. Of course, in other embodiments, the second sub-cavity can also be opened or closed by providing Velcro on the pillowcase 1.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first filler includes at least one of buckwheat husks, wooden beads, and ceramic beads.
