TECHNICAL AREA
[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of bedding, in particular a pillow structure. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Gel pillows belong to a category of bedding primarily designed to support the head during sleep. Human body temperature is higher when awake than when asleep; moreover, body temperature tends to decrease during restful sleep. This reduction in body temperature is therefore essential for sleep. Cooling the head facilitates falling asleep and improves the quality of deep sleep. The gel layer incorporated into the pillow's surface, due to its high thermal conductivity and cooling effect, quickly dissipates heat from the head. This slows blood flow and reduces nerve activity in the brain, giving the gel pillow a calming effect that promotes sleep.However, cooling the neck area leads to a local narrowing of the capillaries, which impairs blood circulation and may cause shoulder or neck pain or cervical spondylosis.
[0003] Existing gel pillows often cause the neck and shoulder area to cool down during use due to their large contact area and lack of zoned design, which poses potential health risks. CONTENTS OF THE PRESENT USE SAMPLE
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pillow structure that offers the benefit of a cool head and a warm neck, in order to solve the problem that existing gel pillows, due to their large contact area and lack of zone design, often cause cooling of the neck and shoulder area during use, which entails potential health risks.
[0005] To achieve the above objective, the present utility model uses the following technical solution: a cushion structure comprising a cushion base, wherein a gel layer is installed on one side of the cushion base; wherein a head-enclosing zone is arranged in the middle on one side of the gel layer facing away from the pillow base, and wherein a side-lying zone is arranged on the gel layer on the left and right sides of the head-enclosing zone; and wherein on one side of the pillow base a neck support zone is arranged on the upper and lower side of the head wrapping zone, and wherein on the pillow base a shoulder adjustment zone is arranged on the left and right side of the neck support zone.
[0006] A preferred embodiment of the cushion structure of the present utility model consists in the cushion base being made of polyurethane memory foam.
[0007] A preferred embodiment of the pillow structure of the present utility model consists in the head-enclosing zone being lower than the side-lying zone, so that the gel layer forms a concave shape from the outside in.
[0008] A preferred embodiment of the cushion structure of the present utility model consists in the fact that the two side lying zones are symmetrically distributed.
[0009] A preferred embodiment of the pillow structure of the present utility model consists in the head covering zone being circular.
[0010] A preferred embodiment of the pillow structure of the present utility model consists in the neck support zone being 2-4 cm higher than the head wrapping zone and 1-2 cm lower than the shoulder adjustment zone.
[0011] A preferred embodiment of the cushion structure of the present utility model consists in the gel layer having a concave arc design, thereby creating a gel-free area in the shoulder-neck zone.
[0012] Compared to the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages: 1. In the present utility model, the gel layer has an ergonomic zone design, which provides cooling in the head area while effectively avoiding the shoulder and neck area, thus achieving zoned temperature control with a cool head and a warm neck, thereby preventing the gel material from impairing the health of the neck and shoulders; 2. In the present utility model, the pillow base, which serves as the foundation for the entire pillow structure, consists of polyurethane memory foam and thus provides comfortable support, and when in contact with the human body, the gel layer utilizes the cooling properties of the gel material with high thermal conductivity to quickly dissipate heat from the head and thus promote sleep.

Reference symbol list 1 pillow base 2 Gel layer 3 side lying zones 4 Head covering zone 5 neck support zones 6 Shoulder adjustment zone DETAILED DESCRIPTION Example 1
[0013] Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, a cushion structure comprising a cushion base 1, wherein a gel layer 2 is installed on one side of the cushion base 1.
[0014] Furthermore, the pillow base 1 consists of polyurethane memory foam.
[0015] Furthermore, gel layer 2 has a concave arc design, creating a gel-free area in the shoulder-neck zone.
[0016] The cushion base 2 serves as the foundation for the entire cushion structure, is made of polyurethane memory foam and thus provides comfortable support.
[0017] When in contact with the human body, gel layer 2 utilizes the cooling properties of the gel material with high thermal conductivity to quickly dissipate heat from the head, thus promoting sleep.
[0018] Furthermore, a head-enclosing zone 4 is arranged in the middle on one side of the gel layer 2 facing away from the pillow base 1, wherein a side-lying zone 3 is arranged on the gel layer 2 on the left and right sides of the head-enclosing zone 4.
[0019] Furthermore, the head-enclosing zone 4 is lower than that of the side-lying zone 3, so that the gel layer 2 forms a concave shape from the outside in.
[0020] Furthermore, the head-enclosing zone 4 is circular in shape, with the two side-lying zones 3 being symmetrically distributed.
[0021] When the user's head rests in head-enveloping zone 4, the contact area between the neck and shoulders and the gel layer 2 is reduced. This prevents the neck and shoulders from coming into contact with the cooling gel material, thus protecting their health. Furthermore, when sleeping on the back, the head is effectively enveloped, providing a feeling of security while maintaining balance between the head and body. In this position, the gel layer on top quickly dissipates heat from the head, slowing blood flow and reducing nerve activity in the brain to produce a calming effect that promotes sleep. The side-lying zones 3 support the user's head and effectively brace the head and face to prevent neck strain when turning over. When sleeping on the side, the gel layer on top of the side-lying zones 3 also reduces the surface temperature of the facial skin.
[0022] Furthermore, on one side of the pillow base 1, a neck support zone 5 is arranged on the upper and lower side of the head wrapping zone 4, wherein a shoulder adjustment zone 6 is arranged on the left and right side of the neck support zone 5 on the pillow base 1.
[0023] Furthermore, the neck support zone 5 is 2-4 cm higher than the head wrapping zone 4 and 1-2 cm lower than the shoulder adjustment zone 6.
[0024] Neck support zone 5 connects to head-wrapping zone 4, forming a head-neck curve. When sleeping on your back, this design lifts the neck, providing effective support to maintain the natural curvature of the cervical spine. Simultaneously, the concave arch design of the gel layer structure creates a gel-free area in the shoulder-neck zone. This reduces the contact area between the neck and the gel layer, preventing contact between the shoulder-neck area and the cooling gel material, thus protecting your health. Shoulder adjustment zone 6 is connected to neck support zone 5, forming a gel-free area that further reduces the contact area between the shoulder and the gel layer, preventing contact between the shoulder area and the cooling gel material, and thus protecting your health.
