Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bedding technology, specifically relating to a foldable pillow for sleeping on your back, side, or turning over. Background Technology
[0002] A pillow is a type of bedding product, mainly used to support the head and neck during sleep to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, relieve neck muscle fatigue caused by postures such as looking down during the day, and allow the user to sleep comfortably.
[0003] Many people need to turn over while sleeping. For most adults, whose bodies are relatively strong, even if their pillows don't accommodate both back and side sleeping, it might still be manageable. However, some middle-aged and elderly people prone to back and shoulder pain may experience back pain after sleeping on their back for a while, or shoulder pain after sleeping on their side for a while.
[0004] In addition, people who work at a desk for long periods of time, teenagers who carry schoolbags and do their homework, and people who look down at their phones for long periods of time are prone to developing a forward head posture and need a pillow that can relieve this posture.
[0005] Some higher-end mattresses are often quite thick, and sleeping on your back for a long time in warmer weather can make your back feel too hot. In addition to using air conditioning to regulate the temperature, you can also improve sleep comfort by switching to side sleeping.
[0006] Therefore, people desperately need pillows that can accommodate both back and side sleeping. Currently, there are many types of single pillows on the market, a small portion of which can accommodate both back and side sleeping, but soft, comfortable, and height-adjustable ones are relatively rare. Double pillows almost never accommodate both back and side sleeping. Long-term use of unsuitable pillows can lead to problems such as straightening of the cervical spine and neck and shoulder pain. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable pillow for sleeping on your back or side, so as to solve the problems of traditional pillows that cannot be adjusted in height and cannot meet the needs of both back and side sleeping.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model relates to a foldable back-sleeping / side-sleeping turning pillow, which includes a back-sleeping pillow and a side-sleeping pillow. The number of back-sleeping pillows and side-sleeping pillows are equal and correspond one-to-one. The thickness of the back-sleeping pillow is not greater than the thickness of the side-sleeping pillow. The side-sleeping pillow is placed flat next to the corresponding back-sleeping pillow or stacked on top of the corresponding back-sleeping pillow.
[0009] Preferably, there is one supine sleeping pillow and one side sleeping pillow, which are integrated into one piece and connected by a thin cotton transition strip.
[0010] Preferably, there are two supine and two side-sleeping pillows. The supine and side-sleeping pillows are of a separate structure, while the two supine pillows are of a single-piece structure, and the two side-sleeping pillows are of a single-piece structure, thus forming two independent double supine and double side-sleeping pillows. A lower middle pillow is provided between the two supine pillows, and the lower middle pillow is connected to the two supine pillows on both sides by a thin cotton transition band. An upper middle pillow is provided between the two side-sleeping pillows, and the upper middle pillow is connected to the two side-sleeping pillows on both sides by a thin cotton transition band. The supine, side-sleeping, lower, and upper middle pillows are of the same shape, the size of the side-sleeping pillow is less than or equal to the size of the supine pillow, and the size of the upper middle pillow is less than or equal to the size of the lower middle pillow.
[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the lower middle pillow is less than the thickness of the supine sleeping pillow; and the thickness of the upper middle pillow is less than the thickness of the side sleeping pillow.
[0012] Preferably, the supine sleeping pillow has a head recess in the center.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the supine sleeping pillow is further provided with a neck recess, which is 1-2 cm higher than the head recess.
[0014] Preferably, the surface of the side-sleeping pillow has a strip-shaped recess.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: 1. This utility model relates to a foldable back-sleeping / side-sleeping turning pillow, comprising a back-sleeping pillow and a side-sleeping pillow. The side-sleeping pillow is placed flat next to or stacked on top of the corresponding back-sleeping pillow. When sleeping on one's back, only the back-sleeping pillow is used, and its height is relatively low. When sleeping on one's side, one can sleep on the thicker side-sleeping pillow. People with broad shoulders or those prone to shoulder pain can also stack the side-sleeping pillow on top of the back-sleeping pillow to increase its height, preventing shoulder pain. This structure simultaneously caters to the needs of both back-sleeping and side-sleeping, and after use, it is less likely to cause problems such as straightening of the neck curve or shoulder and ear pain due to pillow discomfort. It can also alleviate the problem of forward head tilting for long-term desk workers and teenagers carrying schoolbags while doing homework.
[0016] 2. The foldable back-sleeping, side-sleeping, and turning pillow involved in this utility model has a head depression in the center and a neck depression on the surface, which is suitable for the shape of the head, neck, and back and conforms to human biomechanics.
[0017] 3. The foldable back-sleeping, side-sleeping, and turning pillow involved in this utility model has strip-shaped indentations on its surface, so that the ears are not easily pressed and hurt when the human body is sleeping on its side. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To further understand the content of this utility model, the following embodiments are described in detail. The embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0021] Example 1 See attached document Figure 1 As shown, the foldable back-sleeping / side-sleeping / turning-over pillow of this utility model is a household single pillow, which includes a back-sleeping pillow 1 and a side-sleeping pillow 2. Each pillow is a single unit. Depending on the sleeping position, the side-sleeping pillow 2 can be placed flat next to the back-sleeping pillow 1 or folded up and placed on top of the back-sleeping pillow 2. In this embodiment, the back-sleeping pillow 1 and the side-sleeping pillow 2 adopt an integrated structure, and are connected by a thin cotton transition strip 3.
[0022] The thickness of the supine pillow 1 is no greater than that of the side-sleeping pillow 2. In this embodiment, the supine pillow 1, after being filled with cotton, is approximately 4-5 cm thick, with a slightly thinner filling in the recessed area. The side-sleeping pillow 2, after being filled with cotton, is approximately 6-8 cm thick, and approximately 3-4 cm thick when fully supported. The thin cotton transition strip 3 is approximately 5 cm wide, filled with a very thin layer of cotton inside, facilitating the folding of both the side-sleeping pillow 2 and the supine pillow 1. On one side of the pillow, centered on the transition strip, a concealed zipper approximately 25 cm long is installed as the entrance for the filling cotton.
[0023] When sleeping on your back, the head and back are basically at the same height. Therefore, the side sleeping pillow 2 can be placed flat next to the back sleeping pillow 1, and only the back sleeping pillow 1 needs to be used. When sleeping on your side, there is a greater height difference between the head and shoulders. Therefore, the head needs to be supported higher. The side sleeping pillow 2 can be folded over and placed on top of the back sleeping pillow 1. People with narrow shoulders can also sleep directly on the side sleeping pillow when sleeping on their side.
[0024] See attached document Figure 1As shown, the supine pillow 1 has a head recess 6 and a neck recess 7 in the middle. The head recess 6 is shaped like a four-leaf clover and is used to support the head when sleeping on your back. The thickness of the head recess 6 is 1-2 cm. The neck recess 7 is a slight indentation, with a width matching the human neck area and a height 1-2 cm higher than the head recess. The thickness when not under pressure is about 3-4 cm, used to support the neck when sleeping on your back, suitable for the shape of the head, neck and back when sleeping on your back (back lying on the bed), conforming to human biomechanics. The surface of the side-sleeping pillow 2 has a strip-shaped recess 8, leaving a little space for the ears when sleeping on your side, avoiding ear compression and pain. The head recess 6 and the strip-shaped recess 8 are formed by stitching. That is, after the supine pillow 1 and the side-sleeping pillow 2 are evenly filled with cotton, the front and back fabrics are sewn together. The sewing thread is moderately tightened so that the thickness of the sewn part is less than the original thickness of the supine pillow 1 and the side-sleeping pillow 2, thus forming the head recess 6 and the strip-shaped recess 8. The neck area of the side-sleeping pillow 1 has a head indentation 6 sewn on the side, which naturally creates a slight neck indentation 7. This slight indentation 7 can also be created by reducing the amount of stuffing in this area. The head indentation 6, neck indentation 7, and strip-shaped indentation 8 all serve an aesthetic purpose. The four-leaf clover shape can also be replaced with a heart shape, but several two-stitch topstitches need to be added at appropriate positions on both sides of the heart shape's tail end to give the neck area a similar shape. The stuffing thickness on this side can also be slightly less to accommodate people with thick necks or flatter backs of heads.
[0025] The back-sleeping pillow 1 and side-sleeping pillow 2 are filled with highly elastic, non-deformable, natural, high-elasticity, fluorescent-free baby pearl cotton. Since users' head, neck, and back shapes differ, if a user still feels discomfort in a specific area after selecting a suitable style, they can adjust the filling slightly by adding or removing small amounts of cotton through the zipper opening under after-sales guidance to suit their needs.
[0026] Example 2 See attached document Figure 2As shown, the foldable back-sleeping / side-sleeping / turning-over pillow of this utility model is a household double pillow, composed of two independent back-sleeping double pillows and a side-sleeping double pillow. It includes a back-sleeping pillow 1 and a side-sleeping pillow 2, each with its own middle pillow. In this embodiment, there are two back-sleeping pillows 1 and two side-sleeping pillows 2. The back-sleeping pillows 1 and 2 are of a separate structure, while the two back-sleeping pillows 1 and 2 are of a single-piece structure, thus forming two independent back-sleeping double pillows and a side-sleeping double pillow. A lower middle pillow 4 is provided between the two back-sleeping pillows 1, and the lower middle pillow 4 is connected to both sides of the back-sleeping pillows 1 via a thin cotton transition strip 3. An upper middle pillow 5 is provided between the two side-sleeping pillows 2, and the upper middle pillow 5 is connected to both sides of the side-sleeping pillows 2 via a thin cotton transition strip 3. This thin cotton transition strip 3 is only for a natural transition of thickness, and long needles can be used for sewing and stitching. The supine sleeping pillow 1, side sleeping pillow 2, lower middle pillow 4, and upper middle pillow 5 are all identical in shape. The side sleeping pillow 2 is smaller than or equal to the size of the supine sleeping pillow 1, and the upper middle pillow 5 is smaller than or equal to the size of the lower middle pillow 4. When the supine sleeping pillow 1 and side sleeping pillow 2 are the same size, and the lower middle pillow 4 and upper middle pillow 5 are the same size, the arrangement is neat and aesthetically pleasing. When the side sleeping pillow 2 is smaller than the supine sleeping pillow 1, and the upper middle pillow 5 is smaller than the lower middle pillow 4, the arrangement is more stable. Preferably, the side sleeping pillow 2 is approximately 10 cm shorter than the supine sleeping pillow 1 and approximately 5 cm wider than the supine sleeping pillow 1. Slightly smaller side sleeping pillows are easier to fold and less likely to bump against the headboard.
[0027] The thickness of the supine pillow 1 is no greater than that of the side-sleeping pillow 2. The thickness of the lower middle pillow 4 is less than that of the supine pillow 1, and the thickness of the upper middle pillow 5 is less than that of the side-sleeping pillow 2. In this embodiment, the supine pillow 1, after being filled with cotton, is approximately 4-5 cm thick, with a slightly thinner filling in the recessed area. The side-sleeping pillow 2, after being filled with cotton, is approximately 6-8 cm thick, and approximately 3-4 cm thick when supported. The lower middle pillow 4 and the upper middle pillow 5 are 3-4 cm thick, and approximately 1-2 cm thick when supported. The thin cotton transition band 3 is approximately 5 cm wide, filled with a very thin layer of cotton, making it easy for the side-sleeping pillows 2 on both sides to fold onto the upper middle pillow 5. When the lower supine double pillow needs to be used alone, it is also easy for the supine pillows 1 on both sides to fold onto the lower middle pillow 4. On one side of the pillow, with the transition band 3 as the center, a hidden zipper approximately 25 cm long is installed as the entrance for the filling cotton.
[0028] See attached document Figure 3As shown, depending on the sleeping position, the side-sleeping pillow 2 can be folded over the upper middle pillow 5 and placed on the lower middle pillow 4, or the side-sleeping pillow 2 can be unfolded and stacked on top of the back-sleeping pillow 1. Specifically, the back-sleeping pillow 1 and the lower middle pillow 4 are laid flat on the bed, the side-sleeping pillows 2 on both sides are stacked on the upper middle pillow 5, and then the upper middle pillow 5 is placed flat on the lower middle pillow 4. The two back-sleeping pillows 1 can be used by two people lying flat. When sleeping on your back, the head and back are basically at the same height, so only the back-sleeping pillow 1 is needed. When one or both people need to sleep on their side, the side-sleeping pillow 2 on that side can be unfolded and placed on the back-sleeping pillow 1. Because there is a large height difference between the head and shoulders when sleeping on your side, the head needs to be supported higher. Stacking the side-sleeping pillow 2 on the back-sleeping pillow 1 can increase the thickness of the pillow. When one partner folds the back-sleeping pillow 2 on top of the middle pillow and rests their arm under their partner's neck, they will not experience numbness.
[0029] The supine pillow 1 has a head indentation 6 in the center, shaped like a four-leaf clover, to support the head when sleeping on your back. Slight neck indentations 7 are located on both sides, accommodating the shape of the head, neck, and back when sleeping on your back, conforming to ergonomics. The side-sleeping pillow 2 has strip-shaped indentations 8 on its surface, providing some space for the ears when sleeping on your side, preventing ear compression and pain. Heart-shaped stitching can also be sewn into the center of the upper middle pillow 4 and lower middle pillow 5 to form the head indentation 6. The head indentation 6 and strip-shaped indentation 8 are formed by stitching; that is, after the supine pillow 1 or side-sleeping pillow 2 is evenly filled with cotton, the front and back fabrics are sewn together, with the thread moderately tightened so that the thickness of the sewn part is less than the original thickness of the supine pillow 1 and side-sleeping pillow 2, thus forming the head indentation 6 and strip-shaped indentation 8. The side-sleeping pillow 1 naturally forms a slight neck indentation 7 due to the head indentation 6 sewn on its side, or this slight neck indentation 7 can be formed by reducing the amount of cotton filling in this area. The head indentation 6, the neck indentation 7, and the strip-shaped indentation 8 all serve an aesthetic purpose.
[0030] When using it in winter, the two side sleeping pillows 2 can be brought closer together so that the upper middle pillow 5 is slightly raised, filling the gap between the two people's shoulders and preventing them from getting cold.
[0031] Since the supine sleeping pillow 1 and the side sleeping pillow 2 in this embodiment adopt a split structure, both the supine sleeping pillow 1 and the side sleeping pillow 2 can be used separately. When used separately, the upper middle pillow 5 or the lower middle pillow 4 is relatively thin, so parents can sometimes let the child sleep on the middle pillow.
[0032] The back-sleeping pillow 1 and side-sleeping pillow 2 are filled with highly elastic, non-deformable, natural, high-elasticity, fluorescent-free baby pearl cotton. Since the shapes of different users' heads, necks, and backs vary, if a user still feels discomfort in certain areas after selecting a suitable style, they can adjust the filling material slightly through the zipper opening under after-sales guidance to suit their needs.
[0033] Example 3 See attached document Figure 4 As shown, the foldable back-sleeping / side-sleeping pillow involved in this embodiment is an office single pillow (nap pillow). Its structure is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, only the size, the arrangement of the strip-shaped indentations, and the shape of the head indentation are different. Among them, the back-sleeping pillow 1 adopts a heart-shaped or peanut-shaped (flat four-leaf clover-shaped) quilting. When using the heart-shaped quilting, 1-2 two-needle knots are added at appropriate positions on both sides of the heart-shaped tail end to make the neck area of the pillow have a similar shape, and the thickness on this side can be lower. Compared with the household single pillow in Embodiment 1, the office single pillow is narrower, lighter and more portable, and has a larger length-to-width ratio. When using it, the method of using it on a folding bed is the same as that of the household single pillow; it can also be used as a nap pillow, lying face down on the back-sleeping pillow 1, or leaning sideways on the back-sleeping pillow 1 and the side-sleeping pillow 2 stacked together.
[0034] This utility model's foldable back-sleeping, side-sleeping, and turning-around pillow, if intended for mass production, is recommended to offer several styles for consumers to choose from, based on shoulder width, head, neck, and back shape, or to be customized to meet specific needs. For example, the double pillow option allows couples to have different preferences regarding pillow shape.
[0035] It should be noted that the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 The dashed lines in the text represent radians and do not represent any solid structure.
[0036] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments. However, the description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
