Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] A side-sleeping pillow, as shown in Figure 1, includes an elastic pillow body 100. The elastic pillow body 100 has a first recessed groove 110, a protrusion 120, and a second recessed groove 130 arranged sequentially along its length. The protrusion 120 extends downwards on both sides along its length to the bottom of the first recessed groove 110 and the bottom of the second recessed groove 130, respectively. The protrusion 120 also extends downwards on both sides along its width to the two long sides of the elastic pillow body 100, with its height gradually decreasing. That is, the protrusion 120 is highest in the middle of the elastic pillow body 100 and decreases towards the periphery. Thus, the protrusion 120 becomes an area unsuitable for back sleeping. When a user sleeps on their back and places their head on the protrusion 120, guided by the transition surface between the protrusion 120 and the recessed grooves on both sides, the user can easily roll to their side, placing their head within the recessed groove.
[0028] The first sinking groove 110 has a first neck support 190 on both sides along the width direction. The first neck support is higher than the bottom of the first sinking groove 110. The second sinking groove 130 has a second neck support 200 on both sides along the width direction. The second neck support is higher than the bottom of the second sinking groove 130. This can support the neck, relax the neck muscles, and improve sleep comfort.
[0029] In this embodiment, the first sinking groove 110, the protrusion 120 and the second sinking groove 130 are integrally formed structures connected in sequence, and the use of this integral structure is more comfortable.
[0030] In other alternative embodiments, referring to Figure 2, the elastic pillow body 100 is provided with a slot 210, and the protrusion 120 is engaged in the slot. The elastic pillow body 100 and the protrusion 120 are set as separate structures. In this way, it is convenient to replace and adjust the protrusion 120 of different heights to improve the user experience. At the same time, the protrusion 120 can be made of a material with elasticity and high hardness, such as a high elastic material. In this way, it will be relatively uncomfortable for the user's head to be placed on the protrusion 120, thereby guiding the user to sleep on their side.
[0031] The elastic pillow body 100 in Figure 2 is only a simplified illustration.
[0032] In this embodiment, the elastic pillow body 100 has a limiting protrusion 140 on both sides along the length direction, located outside the corresponding sinking groove. The limiting protrusion 140 is higher than the corresponding sinking groove and lower than the protrusion 120, which can alleviate the problem of the head slipping from the side and causing a stiff neck.
[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic pillow body 100 is provided with a first breathing channel 150 extending along the length direction. One end of the first breathing channel 150 is connected to the first sinking groove 110, and the other end of the first breathing channel 150 extends to the end of the elastic pillow body 100 away from the protrusion 120. The elastic pillow body 100 is provided with a second breathing channel 160 extending along the length direction. One end of the second breathing channel 160 is connected to the second sinking groove 130, and the other end of the second breathing channel 160 extends to the end of the elastic pillow body 100 away from the protrusion 120. In this way, air circulation can be maintained when sleeping on one's side, breathing can be smooth, and sleep quality can be improved.
[0034] The first breathing channel 150 and the second breathing channel 160 are located on the corresponding limiting protrusion 140 and are lower than the bottom of the corresponding sinking groove, which can alleviate the problem of air circulation being affected by the setting of the limiting protrusion 140.
[0035] Preferably, the first breathing channel 150 and the second breathing channel 160 are located in the middle of the width direction. This position is suitable for most users to be opposite the nose, so as to facilitate airflow and improve sleep quality.
[0036] More preferably, there are multiple first breathing channels 150, which are spaced apart along the width direction; and there are multiple second breathing channels 160, which are spaced apart along the width direction.
[0037] The bottom of the first recessed groove 110 is provided with a first ear cavity groove 170, and the bottom of the second recessed groove 130 is provided with a second ear cavity groove 180, which can significantly reduce pressure on the ears when sleeping.
[0038] More preferably, the first ear socket groove 170 is located in the middle of the first sinking groove 110, and the second ear socket groove 180 is located in the middle of the second sinking groove 130.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
