Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] I. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to a height adjustable pillow and, more specifically, to a pillow having an extendable and resilient pillow body, inside which installed an air cushion that can be charged or discharged. By adjusting the amount of air filled in the air cushion, the thickness of the pillow can be manipulated. [0003] II. Description of the Prior Art [0004] For a good night's sleep, a soft and fluffy pillow with flexibility is provided with build in head and neck support. A pillow of such construction is typically made of soft plastic, soft rubber, or foam products of plastic and rubber. It is also known to construct a pillow ergonomically designed to have a curved contour, with one higher hump and one lower hump. A pillow of this kind is typically made of special foams to provide pressure relief and is called “memory form”. [0005] Such kind of pillow typically has limited sizes available, which means t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a height adjustable pillow having a pillow body and an air cushion. The pillow body is extendable and resilient, made of soft plastic, rubber, or foam products of plastic and rubber. Inside the pillow body is a chamber for accommodating the air cushion. By charging or discharging air through a valve, the thickness of the pillow can be easily modified.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a height adjustable pillow, of which the air cushion can be freely charged and discharged so that users can modify the thickness of the pillow to create sleep comfort.

Problems solved by technology

Such kind of pillow typically has limited sizes available, which means the shape and thickness can't be freely modified to fulfill different sleep needs.

To manufacturers, providing multiple sizes of pillows is not economical since it inevitably increases cost for production and still may not suit all consumers' need.

Although some adjustable pillows are available on the market, they are not well-design to meet the needs of consumers.
