Abstract

In an existing pillow, when the user makes a return to on-the-back lying from on-the-side lying, a strain forms in a region associated with on-the-side lying, so that an elasticity-less material, such as chaff, pipes or the like cannot perfectly adjust the sinking of the pillow under the weight of the neck. The inventive pillow consists of a total three divisions, one for the neck and two for the head. Thus, even if the user moves from on-the-side lying to on-the-back lying, the head and neck enter the recesses in the three divisions, thus eliminating the possibility of a strain forming in a region associated with on-the side-lying. Minus surface fasteners are attached to the pillow back for the neck and the head, while plus surface fasteners are attached to the outer seams in the divisions for the neck and head; thus, the sinking rises as at by squeezing as at for center movement, and the problem of too much rising is solved by loosening as at for outer movement and fixing the plus and minus surface fasteners. If combined with my Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2001-002267 U and Japanese Patent No. 2001-333518 A and FIG. 19 ( 19, 28 ), this invention provides a pillow that adapts itself to the neck and head for all people in the world.

Claims (7)

1. A pillow, comprising:

two side panels removably attached to each other along a generally straight first seam to receive the head of a user therein;

a bottom panel for supporting the neck of the user and removably attached to the side panels along a second seam that is substantially perpendicular to the first seam; and

at least two cooperating adjustable fasteners attached to an exterior of at least one of the side panels and the bottom panel, wherein the two cooperating adjustable fasteners engage one another for adjusting the at least one of the side panels and the bottom panel.

2. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the side panels are each formed with an indentation abutting the first seam for receiving the head of the user therein.

3. The pillow of claim 1 , further comprising: adjustable fasteners attached to two or more of the side panels and the bottom panel for engaging one adjustable fastener to another adjustable fastener to adjust the pillow.

4. The pillow of claim 1 , further comprising: an insert received at the intersection of the seams to support the head of the user.
