Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of therapeutic pillows, and specifically relates to a traditional Chinese medicine sleep aid and neck support pillow. Background Technology

[0002] Sleep quality is directly related to a person's health. Sleeping postures are generally divided into lying flat and lying on one's side. When lying on one's side, because the shoulders are wider and the pillow is lower, the spine and cervical vertebrae cannot be on the same horizontal plane, which can cause cervical fatigue. When lying flat, the occipital bone is in a lower plane. Therefore, to ensure cervical comfort when lying flat, the pillow height must be lowered. Although some sleep pillows on the market are divided into side-lying and flat-lying areas, the pillow height is fixed when lying on one's side and cannot be adjusted according to the individual's shoulder width, so the adaptability is not strong. Moreover, relying solely on ergonomic design and increasing the softness of the pillow material to achieve the purpose of promoting sleep, without using drugs or other means to promote sleep, the effect of assisting sleep and cervical physiotherapy and maintenance is limited.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN2022203633504" discloses a soft, sleep-aiding neck pillow, including a pillow body. The upper surface of the pillow body has a recessed head support area for supine sleeping and two recessed side sleeping areas, which are respectively located on both sides of the head support area for supine sleeping. A smooth, raised rib is formed between the head support area for supine sleeping and the side sleeping areas. A protrusion is provided on the inner side of the pillow body near the neck, and the upper surface of the protrusion has a neck and back support area. An arc-shaped neck support area is formed between the head support area for supine sleeping and the neck and back support area. Although this prior art document provides side sleeping areas on both sides of the pillow body and can support the head when sleeping on one's side, and has an ergonomically designed protrusion to conform to the curvature of the cervical spine, it still cannot solve the problem of adjusting the height of the side sleeping area according to different individuals' shoulder widths, and it also lacks other sleep-aiding physiotherapy methods, thus limiting the effects of assisting sleep and physiotherapy and maintenance of the neck.

[0004] The above background information is provided only to assist in understanding the utility model concept and technical solution of this utility model, and it does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above information was disclosed on the filing date of this patent application, the above background information should not be used to evaluate the novelty and inventiveness of this application. Utility Model Content
