Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prone sleeping pillows, and more specifically, to a multifunctional prone sleeping pillow. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the demand for afternoon naps (and the more noticeable improvement in memory among those who nap), more and more people are choosing to take a nap face down at noon. To meet this demand, many face-down sleeping pillows have appeared on the market to satisfy customers' different needs for face-down sleeping, side sleeping, and hugging sleeping.
[0003] However, existing prone sleeping pillows are only suitable for prone sleeping, offering limited functionality and unsuitable for various environments. Furthermore, current prone sleeping pillows are too high; when users lie on their side to use their phones, they need to lean to one side and look down while simultaneously flipping the phone upwards, which can easily lead to fatigue and reduce user comfort.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop a multifunctional sleeping pillow that is less likely to cause discomfort to the user. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional sleeping pillow that can provide multiple usage states such as sitting, leaning, and lying down, so that users can have a more relaxed state when sleeping or sitting and resting, and enhance the user's comfort.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution
[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0009] A multifunctional prone sleeping pillow includes a headrest and a prone sleeping pillow body. The headrest is detachably connected to the upper end or back of the prone sleeping pillow body. The lower end surface of the headrest and the upper end surface of the prone sleeping pillow body are curved surfaces that match the curvature of the human jaw. The prone sleeping pillow body includes a pillow core, which includes a pillow core body and a support portion I extending upward from either end of the pillow core body. The outer side of the support portion I and the pillow core body is an arc surface that matches the curvature of the human chest cavity. The connection points between the pillow core body and the pillow core body on both sides are recessed inward to form support grooves. A pair of arc-shaped grooves matching the curvature of the bottom of the human thigh are provided at the end of the pillow core body away from the support portion I. The pillow core body extends along the direction of the pair of support grooves in a direction away from the support portion I to form a pair of support portions II.
[0010] Furthermore, the pillow core body has leg support portions extending from the outer end of the arc-shaped groove in a direction away from the support portion one, and the pillow core body has a support portion three with gradually decreasing thickness extending from the middle of a pair of arc-shaped grooves in a direction away from the support portion one.
[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the pair of support parts is less than the thickness of the pair of leg support parts.
[0012] Furthermore, the extension length of the third support is greater than the extension length of the pair of leg supports.
[0013] Furthermore, the two sides of the pillow core body are recessed towards the support part to form side grooves.
[0014] Furthermore, a ventilation hole is provided at the center of the pillow core body, offset from the support part one, and the ventilation hole penetrates the pillow core body; the thickness of the pillow core body on both sides of the ventilation hole shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing towards the side groove; the thickness of the pillow core body on the side away from the support part one shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the headrest and the upper end of the prone sleeping pillow body are both fixedly connected to matching zippers. The zippers on the headrest and the prone sleeping pillow body are covered with toothed fabric strips, and each long end of the toothed fabric strip is fixedly connected to the headrest and the prone sleeping pillow body respectively. When the headrest is detachably connected to the upper end of the prone sleeping pillow body, both of the toothed fabric strips are located on the side facing the pillow core body.
[0016] Furthermore, both the headrest and the prone sleeping pillow body have snap fasteners fixedly connected to their backs, allowing the headrest to be detachably connected to the back of the prone sleeping pillow body.
[0017] Furthermore, the back of the headrest is equipped with an elastic band, which is located below the snap fastener; the two ends of the elastic band are fixedly connected to the two sides of the headrest.
[0018] Furthermore, the headrest also includes a headrest core and a headrest cover covering the outside of the headrest core; the prone sleeping pillow body also includes a pillow cover whose shape fits the pillow core; and several anti-slip protrusions are fixedly connected to the front of both the headrest core and the pillow core.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please see Figures 1-9 A multifunctional prone sleeping pillow includes a headrest 1, a zipper 2, and a prone sleeping pillow body 3. The headrest 1 is detachably connected to the upper end of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 via the zipper 2.
[0036] like Figures 2-3 As shown, a pair of snap fasteners 5 are symmetrically fixed to the back of the headrest 1, and an elastic band 11 is provided on the back of the headrest 1. The two sides of the elastic band 11 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the headrest 1 and placed below the snap fasteners 5. The back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 is fixedly connected with snap fasteners 5 that match the snap fasteners 5 on the back of the headrest 1, so that the headrest 1 can be fastened to the back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 by a pair of snap fasteners 5, thereby increasing the thickness of the back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one half of the zipper 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the prone sleeping pillow body 3, and the other half is fixedly connected to the lower end of the headrest 1. A toothed fabric strip 21 covers the outside of each zipper 2. Either long end of the toothed fabric strip 21 is fixedly connected to either the headrest 1 or the prone sleeping pillow body 3. When the headrest 1 is detachably connected to the upper end of the prone sleeping pillow body 3, the toothed fabric strip 21 is located on the opposite side of the snap fastener 5. When the headrest 1 is snapped onto the back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3, the toothed fabric strip 21 covers the outside of the zipper 2, preventing the zipper from rubbing against the user and thus reducing discomfort caused by the zipper.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the prone sleeping pillow body 3 includes a pillow core 31 and a pillowcase that matches the shape of the pillow core 31 and can cover the outside of the pillow core 31. The pillow core 31 includes a pillow core body 311. A support portion 313 extends upward from either side of the top surface of the pillow core body 311, and a ventilation hole 319 is opened at the center of the pillow core body 311, biased towards the support portion 313; the ventilation hole 319 completely penetrates the pillow core body 311.
[0039] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the connection points between the support part 313 and the pillow core body 311 on both sides are recessed inwards to form a support groove 3121. Figure 6(As shown in bold black in the middle). The width of the support groove 3121 gradually increases and then decreases from the back of the support part 313 toward the air vent 319. The pillow core body 311 extends along the pair of support grooves 3121 toward the support part 313 to form a pair of support parts 312. The side of the support part 313 facing the air vent 319 and the connection surface with the pillow core body 31 is a slope. This slope gradually concaves from bottom to top, forming an arc that conforms to the shape of the human spine. When the user sits on the pillow for a prone position, the support part 313 can fit against the user's back, providing support without causing discomfort. This design allows the user's arms to pass through the support groove 3121 and wrap around the front of the support part 313 when the user hugs the support part 313 from behind, with the elbow resting on the pair of support parts 312. This design reduces the strain on the user's arms when hugging, enhancing the user's feeling of relaxation.
[0040] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the pillow core body 311 has a pair of arc-shaped grooves 315 at the end away from the support part 313, matching the curvature of the lower side of the human thigh. Leg support parts 314 extend from the outer end of the arc-shaped grooves 315 away from the support part 313. Between the pair of arc-shaped grooves 315, a support part 316 with gradually decreasing thickness extends from the support part 313. This design allows the pillow core body 311 to better fit the back of the user's thighs while preventing the thighs from being raised too high and compressing the user's abdomen, thus reducing user discomfort. Furthermore, the extension length of the support part 316 is greater than the extension length of the pair of leg support parts 314. This design allows the end of the pillow core body 311 away from the support part 313 to fit snugly against the human thigh, reducing contact between the legs and effectively reducing the probability of sweating. The thickness of the pillow core body 311 from the ventilation hole 319 to the support part 316 shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, so as to form an arc that matches the curve of the human cervical spine.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the two sides of the pillow core body 311 are recessed towards the support part 313 to form side grooves 317. The distance between the pair of side grooves 317 gradually decreases as it moves away from the ground of the pillow core body 311. The thickness of the pillow core body 311 on both sides of the ventilation hole 319 shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing towards the side grooves 317.
[0042] like Figure 8As shown, the headrest 1 also includes a headrest core 12 and a headrest cover covering the outside of the headrest core 12. Several anti-slip protrusions 4 are fixedly connected to the side of the headrest core 12 and the pillow core 31 facing the ventilation hole 319 to prevent the headrest core 12 and the pillow core 31 from shifting in position inside the headrest cover and the pillow cover, thereby reducing the discomfort caused to the customer.
[0043] In practical use, the prone sleeping pillow of this utility model includes at least the following usage states:
[0044] State 1, Regular Seat Cushion Use: Place the prone sleeping cushion on the seat. The headrest 1 is secured to the front of the prone sleeping cushion body 3 by the elastic band 11, which is located within a pair of support grooves 3121. After the user sits down, the support part 316 reduces contact between the user's legs, thereby reducing the user's sweating; the headrest 1 is located at the user's waist, providing support for the user's waist, reducing pressure on the user's waist, and bringing comfort.
[0045] Scenario 2, use of the nap cushion: Place the nap cushion on the chair. The headrest 1 is detachably connected to the nap cushion body 3 via zipper 2 and secured to the chair with elastic band 11. The user can sit on the nap cushion and lean back, semi-reclining on the chair. At this time, the user's back is pressed against the support part 313 and the inside of the headrest 1, allowing the user to semi-recline on the chair without feeling uncomfortable.
[0046] In state three, when the seat is too deep, the user can remove the headrest 1 from the top of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 and fasten it to the back of the prone sleeping pillow using the snap fastener 5 (e.g., Figure 9 (As shown), the elastic band 11 is then wrapped around the headrest 11 and placed over the back of the seat to secure the prone sleeping pillow to the seat and prevent it from moving. The user can then sit on the prone sleeping pillow, which provides support for the user's lower back, thus reducing the likelihood of lower back pain after a nap.
[0047] In state four, during a midday nap, the user fastens headrest 1 to the back of the prone sleeping pillow using snap fastener 5, widening the space for the user's chin while sleeping prone. The user wraps their arms around the main body 3 of the prone sleeping pillow from the back, with their chin resting on the end of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 and headrest 1 where the zipper 2 is installed. Elbows are placed on support part two 312, and both hands are wrapped around support part two 312 and then meet at the front of the prone sleeping pillow body 3. This not only reduces pressure on the arms during a midday nap but also enhances the user's comfort while sleeping prone.
[0048] In state five, when the user is looking at the computer at the desk, a pair of arc-shaped grooves 315 can be fastened to the upper part of the user's thighs. The support part 313 and the top of the headrest are pressed against the user's chest by the edge of the desk to control the distance between the user and the desk, so that the user can sit upright and is less likely to hunch over.
[0049] In state six, when the user is lying on their side on the sleeping pillow and using their phone, their head is positioned above the ventilation hole 319, and their chest rests against the support part 316. At this time, the curvature of the pillow core 311 from the ventilation hole 319 to the side groove allows the user to clearly see the content on their phone while lying on their side without any obstruction to their view. Simultaneously, the sleeping pillow prevents pressure on the user's arms, thus improving the user's comfort when using their phone while lying on their side.
[0050] In state seven, when the user lies on their back in bed, the back of their head rests on the ventilation hole 319. This design reduces the sticky feeling caused by sweating during prolonged sleep. Furthermore, the user's cervical spine conforms to the curvature of the pillow core body 311 between the ventilation hole 319 and the support part 316, providing effective support for the cervical spine. This reduces the probability of cervical lordosis caused by an excessively high pillow and the probability of straightening of the cervical curvature caused by an excessively low pillow. Additionally, the farthest end of the support part 316 conforms to the connection between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, evenly distributing the pressure on the spine, thereby reducing the pressure load at the connection point and allowing the user to lie on their back in a relaxed state.
[0051] In state eight, when the user is sitting against the wall on the bed, the back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 is in contact with the wall, the user's buttocks are above the ventilation hole 319, and the headrest 1 is wrapped around the support part 313 by the elastic band 11 and is located between the prone sleeping pillow body 3 and the user's lower back, so that the user's waist is not easily suspended and exerted, thereby reducing the pressure on the intervertebral discs and surrounding muscles.
[0052] In state nine, when the user is lying face down on the bed with their phone, the headrest 1 is fixed to the back of the prone sleeping pillow body 3 by the snap fastener 5, increasing the contact thickness between the prone sleeping pillow and the user's chin. When the user's chin is placed on the upper part of the headrest 1 and the prone sleeping pillow body 3, the user's cervical spine can still maintain its natural forward curve under the action of the prone sleeping pillow. Compared with the traditional upright support, this structure can effectively inhibit the forward head movement (commonly known as "head-down"), reduce the static load on the cervical joints and surrounding muscle groups, and thus prevent chronic cervical spine injury caused by long-term head-down posture. At this time, the user's line of sight will be slightly below the horizontal line. In order to see the content displayed on the phone better, the user's forearm will unconsciously extend away from the prone sleeping pillow, thereby causing the elbow to shift away from the prone sleeping pillow; causing the weight of the upper limb to be distributed to the support part two (312) through the support groove (3121). This avoids tension in the trapezius muscles caused by unsupported shoulders, and achieves trunk stability through three-point support (headrest + elbows), ultimately achieving the dual effect of muscle relaxation and fixed posture.
