  • Patent number: 8813283
    Abstract: A supplemental pillow for preventing the hair of a user from making contact with a sleeping surface is provided. The pillow includes a cylindrical body, an elevated middle section, and a detachable strap. The pillow can be positioned under a conventional sleeping pillow to create an elevated sleeping surface. The strap can be used to transport the pillow, condense the pillow for storage or travel, or secure the pillow to a conventional sleeping pillow. The elevated middle section is made of a less dense filler than the body of the pillow, which provides a soft sleeping surface. The middle section also acts as a wedge against a user's neck to retain the positioning of the pillow on top of the sleeping pillow when the detachable strap is not in use.
