Chambered pillow

Abstract

A chambered pillow with zones of varied densities for supporting a plurality of sleeping positions. The chambered pillow has varied density zones comprising a neck support zone wherein the neck support zone is medium to firm density, a central zone wherein the central zone is medium to firm density and two side zones wherein the side zones are a soft density. The chambered pillow may be filled with a fiberfill blend material, where the fiberfill blend consists essentially of, by weight, (a) from about 50 to about 70% eviscerated latex, and (b) from about 30 to about 50% polyester fiberfill.

Benefits of technology

[0019]The current invention satisfies the above needs by providing a chambered pillow with zones of varied densities for a variety of sleeping positions. The chambered pillow may be filled with a fiberfill blend material. As used herein, the terms fiberfill blend, fiberfill, blend and filler are used to generally define the content of the filling of a pillow.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the pillow chosen by the sleeper won't always be designed for the maximum support and comfort for the individual user's sleeping pattern.

The drawback to standard, single chambered pillows is the inability to vary the density of different sections of the pillow.

The user does not have the option of selecting variations of density in one pillow.

This is problematic because people sleep in different ways and thus require different densities in different sections of the pillow in order to be comfortable.

Fiber filled, single chamber pillows have issues retaining resiliency.

However, pillows known in the industry typically only provide one density which is tailored to one position of sleeping.

Accordingly, when a user changes their sleeping position, the pillow is no longer comfortable.

Should a back sleeper roll over on his or her side, the firmer pillow is no longer suited for such a position and is no longer comfortable.

None of the known prior art methods solve the problem of providing chambered pillow with zones of varying densities that is resilient and which retains its original fluffiness and varying densities even after extended periods of compression.
