[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The height of the pillow when sleeping on your back is different from that when sleeping on your side. The pillow required when sleeping on your back is lower, while the height required when sleeping on your side is higher (the height is consistent with half the width of the shoulder), and the pillow needs to have a certain curvature when sleeping on your side.

[0019] In order to solve the problems in the prior art that pillows cannot simultaneously meet the natural curvature of the head and neck when sleeping on the back and side, and the different heights of sleeping on the back and side, the embodiment of the utility model provides a special pillow for side sleeping. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the pillow provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1As shown, its structural features include: the overall shape of the pillow, including a central part 1 as a straight support area, and the two ends of the pillow are provided with downward curved arc structures, and the central part 1 and the two ends 2 are filled with materials of different densities to provide corresponding support and comfort.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the pillow includes a central part 1 and two ends 2, wherein the central part 1 is a straight support area for supporting the head and neck when lying on the back; the downwardly curved parts of the two ends 2 are designed as arc structures, and the bending angle matches the natural curvature of the human neck and head when sleeping on the side, so as to fit the bending posture of the head and neck.

[0021] The pillow's interior features a zoned filling design. The central section (1) uses high-density material for firm support, while the curved sections (2) at each end are made of soft, low-density material for comfort and a snug fit. The curved sections (2) transition from the central section (1) downward (toward the abdomen).

[0022] As an optional embodiment, the downwardly bent portions at both ends 2 may be provided with symmetrical arc structures, that is, two arc structures are provided, and the first end 2 and the second end 2 are both provided with two arc structures.

[0023] As an optional embodiment, the downward bending angles of the arc-shaped structures of the first end 2 and the second end 2 are the same.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the downward bending angles of the arc-shaped structures of the first end 2 and the second end 2 are different.

[0025] As an optional embodiment, the filling density of the central part 1 is 24-32 kg / m3.

[0026] As an optional embodiment, the filling density of the arc-shaped structures at both ends 2 is 12-20 kg / m3.

[0027] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: Ergonomic design: The curved ends of the pillow conform to the natural curvature of the head when sleeping on the side, reducing cervical discomfort. Zoned support: Different densities of filling material provide zoned support, effectively alleviating neck pressure in different sleeping positions. Comfort and functionality: The combination of the flexible outer material and the internal support structure ensures the pillow is both comfortable and supportive.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the side structure of the pillow provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, the two ends 2 of the pillow gradually bend downward from the central part 1 to the outside. The two ends 2 gradually rise from the central part 1 to the outside to a set height, which is set according to the width of one shoulder of the user to ensure that the head can naturally fit into the pillow surface when sleeping on the side.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the height of the central portion is 8-10 cm, and the set heights of the two ends are 12-16 cm.

[0030] This embodiment preferably allows for multiple pillow designs, allowing users to choose a pillow that suits their shoulder width. For example, someone with a 40cm shoulder width could choose a pillow with 12cm height settings at both ends; someone with a 50cm shoulder width could choose a pillow with 17cm height settings at both ends; and someone with a 60cm shoulder width could choose a pillow with 22cm height settings at both ends. Therefore, any design with higher heights at both ends than in the center should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the downward bending angle of the two ends 2 of the pillow is 20-30 degrees. The downward bending angle of the two ends 2 is set to 20-30 degrees, which can meet the needs of most users within this angle range.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, pillows with different curvatures can be designed, and users can choose a suitable pillow to purchase.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, the filling density of the central part 1 is 24-32 kg / m3. The central part 1 is made of high-density material to achieve a stable support for the head. Within this density range, the preferred material is memory foam.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, the filling density of the arc-shaped structures at both ends 2 is 12-20 kg / m3. The arc-shaped structures at both ends 2 are made of low-density material to achieve a soft fit. Within this density range, buckwheat husk is the preferred material.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the central part and the two end parts are no longer divided into sections, and the entire section is filled with buckwheat husks.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the central portion and the two end portions are filled with buckwheat husks, but the filling density of the buckwheat husks in the two end portions is lower than that in the central portion, which makes the two end portions softer.

[0037] This embodiment of the utility model provides a pillow specifically designed for side sleeping, which has the following beneficial effects: Ergonomic design: The curved ends of the pillow conform to the natural curvature of the head when sleeping on the side, reducing cervical discomfort. Partitioned support: Different densities of filling material provide partitioned support, effectively alleviating neck pressure in different sleeping positions. Comfort and functionality: The combination of the flexible outer material and the internal support structure ensures that the pillow is both comfortable and supportive.

[0038] The above specific implementation methods of the utility model further describe in detail the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model. It should be understood that the above content is only the specific implementation methods of the utility model and is not used to limit the scope of protection of the utility model.
