Self-adjusting pillow
View Patent ↗A self-adjusting pillow includes a pillow portion and an adjustment portion below the pillow portion. The adjustment portion includes a planar portion and an arc portion connected with the planar portion, the planar portion being connected with the pillow portion. The longitudinal section of the adjustment portion has a shape of the letter “D” when the height direction of the person lying on the pillow is taken as the longitudinal direction.
1. A method for self-adjusting the height of a pillow where the pillow receives the gravity point of an user's head, the method comprising:
providing a pillow having pillow portion with an upper surface and a lower surface and a non-inflatable adjustment portion, wherein the non-inflatable adjustment portion is made of a single piece and includes a planar and flat upper surface and an arc-shaped lower surface connected with said planar and flat upper surface; the planar and flat upper surface is connected with and covers the entire central area of the lower surface of the pillow portion; and a longitudinal section of the non-inflatable adjustment portion has a shape of the letter “D” when a height direction of the person lying on the pillow is taken as a longitudinal direction;
determining the shape of the longitudinal section and the maximum height of the non-inflatable adjustment portion so that, when an user lies on his side, the gravity point of the user's head is close to the central position of the longitudinal section, where the non-inflatable adjustment portion has its maximum height, and when the user lies on his back, the gravity point of the user's head moves in the longitudinal direction toward the edge of the self-adjusting pillow, where the non-inflatable adjustment portion has a height less than its maximum height.
