Abstract: A pillow component includes a material layer having a top layer, a bottom layer and one or more sides separating the top layer from the bottom layer, and an interior spaced defined between the top layer and the bottom layer, the interior space configured to receive a filler. The material layer is formed by seamless knitting and is seamless about an entirety of a periphery extending in a first direction around the top layer, the bottom layer and the one or more sides. The characteristics of the knit material layer or fabric can be widely varied. A pillow includes the pillow component and a filler in the interior space.

Abstract: A washable, high efficiency mask has a first, inner layer, a second, intermediate layer, and a third, outer layer. The second, intermediate layer is a filter media that achieves the 95% particulate filtration efficiency (PFE)/bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) filtration. The second, intermediate layer is bonded to a layer adjacent thereto.

Abstract: A pillow cover includes first and second panels joined to one another at front and rear edges to form upper and lower surfaces and side panels joined to the first and second panels at their respective peripheries. The side panels sides each have enlarged end portions with a thinning middle section to define an hourglass shape. The enlarged end portions having a major dimension. A baffle panel is joined to the first and second panels and extends between the side panels. The baffle panel has a height dimension less than the major dimension. The first and second panels, the side panels and the baffle panel define two continuous internal volumes. The baffle panel maintains the pillow in an hourglass shape. The side panels are symmetrical front to back. A filled pillow having an hourglass shape is also disclosed.
