Claims (25)

1. A functional pillow comprising:

a support part ( 100 ) which has a center formed in a concave shape and is configured to support user's head and cervical spine; and

side parts ( 200 ) which are connected to both edges of the support part ( 100 ), are formed to be parallel to a ground, and are higher than the support part ( 100 ),

wherein the support part ( 100 ) includes a concave first groove ( 110 ) configured to extend in one direction parallel to the user's cervical spine, and

a concave second groove ( 120 ) which is connected to an edge of the first groove ( 110 ) and is configured to extend along the one direction or another direction,

wherein the first groove ( 110 ) has a lowest point that is higher than a lowest point of the second groove ( 120 ),

the first groove ( 110 ) includes a first region ( 111 ) corresponding to a central region in the one direction, and a second region ( 112 ) adjacent to the first region ( 111 ) and corresponding to both end regions in the one direction, the first region ( 111 ) being formed in a convex shape along the one direction, and

the second groove ( 120 ) includes a third region ( 121 ) that is disposed adjacent to the first region ( 111 ) and corresponds to the central region in the one direction, and a fourth region ( 122 ) which is adjacent to the third region ( 121 ) and corresponds to both end regions in the one direction, the third region ( 121 ) being formed in a convex shape along the one direction.

2. The functional pillow according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first groove ( 110 ) has a width greater than a width of the second groove ( 120 ).

3. The functional pillow according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first region ( 111 ) is configured to correspond to a back surface shape of the user's cervical spine, and

the second region ( 112 ) is configured to correspond to a back surface shape of the user's head.

4. The functional pillow according to claim 3 ,

wherein the fourth region ( 112 ) is configured to correspond to the side surface shape of the user's head.

wherein the width of the second region ( 112 ) is wider than the width of the first region ( 111 ).

8. The functional pillow according to claim 7 ,

wherein the width of the fourth region ( 122 ) is wider than the width of the third region ( 121 ).

9. The functional pillow according to claim 1 ,

wherein a boundary line between the first groove ( 110 ) and the second groove ( 120 ) is formed alongside with or oblique to the one direction.

10. The functional pillow according to claim 1 ,
