  • Patent number: 6666426
    Abstract: A pillow holding mechanism for use on an adjustable surface of a bed provides a holding mechanism. The holding mechanism prevents a pillow (or other support member) from falling down or shifting to an uncomfortable position when the adjustable surface is raised and/or lowered. The holding mechanism may include a first elastic strap attached to a pillow and a second elastic strap attached to an adjustable surface. A first clip attaches to a pillow and a second clip attaches to the adjustable surface. A third clip attaches the first elastic strap and the second elastic strap and further adjusts the overall length of the pillow holding mechanism.
