[0030] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, the terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0031] The quality of the surrounding air during sleep affects both sleep quality and physical health; therefore, maintaining a fresh air environment is essential for good sleep. However, traditional pillows have several problems, such as:

[0032] Insufficient support: Traditional pillow fillings (such as sponge, fiber, buckwheat hulls) cannot conform to the physiological curve of the human cervical spine, resulting in uneven pressure distribution in the neck, which can easily cause stiff neck and muscle fatigue.

[0033] Poor breathability: The dense material obstructs air circulation, and sweat easily accumulates in the area in contact with the head, creating a stuffy feeling and affecting sleep comfort.

[0034] Limited functionality: Lacking additional functions such as sleep aids and massage, it cannot meet the diverse needs of modern users for healthy sleep.

[0035] This application discloses an adaptive breathable pillow that achieves dynamic support and optimized breathability by setting up functional zones in sections, which is suitable for improving sleep quality.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A self-adaptive pillow with zoned support using round cotton balls includes an upper filling layer 1 and a lower support layer 2. The upper filling layer 1 includes the following zoned fillings: a head comfort zone 11, located in the center of the upper filling layer 1 and having a concave structure, the head comfort zone 11 being filled with several first filling portions; a side-sleeping support zone 12, located on the left and right sides of the head comfort zone 11, the side-sleeping support zone 12 being filled with several second filling portions; a shoulder buffer zone 13, located on the upper and lower sides of the head comfort zone 11, the shoulder buffer zone 13 being filled with several third filling portions; and a neck support zone 14, located between the head comfort zone 11 and the shoulder buffer zone 13, the neck support zone 14 being filled with several fourth filling portions, the neck support zone 14 having a filling opening for adjusting the height by increasing or decreasing the number of fourth filling portions; the first, second, third, and fourth filling portions are all spherical structures, and the height of the neck support zone 14 is not lower than the other zones of the upper filling layer 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the upper filling layer 1 is divided into functional areas, with separate filling for the head, side sleeping, shoulders, and neck, matching the physiological curves of the human head, neck, and shoulders. The neck support area 14 is height-adjustable to accommodate different cervical curvatures. The concave structure of the head comfort area 11 reduces the peak pressure on the back of the head. The shoulder buffer zone 13 has a wraparound layout to absorb shoulder impact, making it suitable for various sleeping positions such as lying flat and side sleeping. The fluidity of the spherical filling forms a pressure balance network, while evenly distributing pressure and allowing for breathability, reducing the humidity on the pillow surface, keeping it dry and comfortable, providing good support and breathability, and optimizing sleep comfort.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes a pillowcase, which is divided into multiple independent chambers. Each independent chamber corresponds to a separate section of the lower support layer 2 and the upper filling layer 1. The pillowcase has vertically layered independent chambers, and the upper filling layer 1 has horizontally partitioned independent chambers to maintain the original functionality of the filling material in each section. The pillowcase surface has several ventilation holes.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pillowcase is made of double-layer breathable gauze with tiny air pores evenly distributed on the surface. The cavity can be covered with a leak-proof mesh. The pore size is moderate, which can ensure the air circulation in each independent cavity and prevent the filling from leaking out of the air pores. The pillowcase and the cavity partition are both made of elastic leak-proof mesh to ensure that the filling can deform freely under pressure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first, second, third, and fourth filling sections all use cotton balls. Cotton balls better conform to the curves of the head and neck, providing even support. The cotton ball structure enhances resilience and distributes pressure, offering greater comfort compared to traditional fillings such as buckwheat hulls and down. The spherical structure enhances the support of the filling, and by using cotton balls of different hardness and diameter, it can provide a certain massage effect on the head, improving sleep quality. The fiber structure of the cotton balls gives them good breathability, promoting air circulation, keeping the pillow dry, reducing stuffiness, and contributing to improved sleep quality. The cotton balls can be adjusted and shaped according to the user's needs. The user can manually adjust the number of cotton balls in the neck support area 14 according to their sleeping posture and neck height to adjust the height, making the pillow more suitable for individual comfort requirements. The cotton ball filling is spherical or elliptical in shape. When forming a spherical cluster, the cotton fibers have a cohesive force, resulting in a stable spherical structure that solves the problem of traditional sheet-like fillings easily clumping after washing.

[0041] Furthermore, cotton balls, as a natural fiber material, are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and meet the demands of modern society for eco-friendly products. During preparation, cotton fibers are selected, and after impurity removal, degreasing, and drying, they are combed into cotton slivers. These slivers are then processed into spherical shapes of corresponding diameters using a centrifugal forming machine. Cotton balls of different diameters are then arranged in different patterns within independent chambers, restricting their free movement.

[0042] For further details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the neck support area 14 is set as a raised arc surface, and the two neck support areas 14 have a height difference. Specifically, the neck support area 14 can be a raised arc shape, or the neck support area 14 can be set as a horizontal cylindrical structure, with different diameters of the two neck support areas 14 to achieve the height difference between the two neck support areas 14.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cylindrical diameters of the two neck support areas 14 can be 8cm and 10cm respectively, and their surfaces can be 10° inclined arc surfaces, adapting to different neck support heights by changing the direction; in other embodiments, the height of the neck support area 14 can be adjusted by filling more fourth filling cotton balls.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cotton balls in the fourth filling section have a diameter ranging from 0.5cm to 1cm, and they are tightly arranged to form a dot-matrix massage structure. The height of the upper filling layer 1 corresponding to the neck support area 14 ranges from 5cm to 10cm, and the selected data is the same as the selection range of the cylindrical diameter of the neck support area 14.

[0045] In this embodiment, the filling opening is provided with a zipper for opening and closing. The zipper can be an invisible zipper, or it can be closed with Velcro, or other opening and closing structures that can ensure quick opening and closing and prevent leakage of the fourth filling part.

[0046] The neck support area 14 disclosed in this application establishes a "rigid support column" by setting it at a high position and using small cotton balls. The height advantage maintains the physiological curvature of the cervical spine at 15°-20°, and the small-diameter high-density filling provides appropriate support strength.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The height of the upper filling layer 1 corresponding to the head comfort zone 11 ranges from 3cm to 5cm, and the diameter of the cotton ball in the first filling part ranges from 1cm to 2cm. The head comfort zone 11 is set between two neck support areas 14, and the height difference between the head comfort zone 11 and the neck support area 14 presents a central concave structure. The sparsely arranged filling cotton balls support the head and provide cushioning, reducing pressure on the back of the head.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The height of the upper filling layer 1 corresponding to the side-sleeping support area 12 and the shoulder buffer zone 13 ranges from 3cm to 5cm, and the diameter of the cotton balls in the third and second filling sections ranges from 2cm to 5cm to conform to the physiological curve of the human cervical spine. The shoulder buffer zone 13 extends to the edge of the pillow, and the side-sleeping support area 12 transitions to the head area at a slope, such as a 15° slope, while the large cotton balls provide pressure relief and protection for the ears when lying on one's side.

[0049] In this embodiment, the shoulder buffer zone 13 creates a pressure relief zone through a wraparound layout and the setting of extra-large cotton balls. The large compression rate of the cotton balls absorbs the impact force on the shoulders, and the upper and lower double-sided layout adapts to different shoulder widths and body types. The side-sleeping support zone 12 extends in a wing-like shape on the left and right sides through a wraparound layout and the setting of extra-large cotton balls, so as to realize the seamless switching of sleeping positions. When lying on the side, the cotton balls flow towards the ear area to fill it, avoiding compression of the vertebral artery.

[0050] For further details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower support layer 2 can be a single layer or multiple layers. In one embodiment, the lower support layer 2 uses washable needle-punched cotton as the bottom support structure, and its thickness can be selected from 3cm to 5cm. In other embodiments, the lower support layer 2 can also be configured with multiple layers according to other functional requirements, such as a middle sleep-aid layer filled with cotton balls containing sleep-aid microcapsules to improve sleep quality; and a bottom massage layer filled with tightly packed cotton balls, which form a stable base through the accumulation of cotton balls, allowing the pillow to be used on both sides.

[0051] This design achieves support through a four-zone linkage cotton ball filling structure. The high-positioned neck support zone 14 uses tightly arranged small cotton balls as the core fulcrum to maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. The concave head comfort zone 11 uses sparsely filled large cotton balls to distribute pressure on the back of the head. The surrounding shoulder buffer zone 13 and the side-sleeping support zone 12 use extra-large cotton balls to relieve pressure, allowing the cotton balls to migrate autonomously to form a continuous support surface when switching between supine and side-sleeping positions, further improving the comfort of the pillow.

[0052] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
