Pillowhead
Pillowhead is a pillow constructed so that he can easily be worn on the head securely, allowing the wearer to comfortably rest their head and sleep in any position. It is ideal for travel, and uniquely shaped to cradle the head, contrary to current travel pillows, which only address neck, support or are just miniature pillows that unattached can move or lose contact while trying to rest the head.
Pillowhead is a wrap around pillow that you wear on your head like a pillow helmet that allows you to rest or sleep comfortably anywhere. It is made of a soft stretchable cotton/spandex or flannel blend material, and standard pillow filler. It is sewn ad held together at the top with a flat cloth cap, and a Velcro chinstrap to secure it below. It is compact, and particularly handy and practical for traveling on planes, trains, or in cars. Also, may be used for nighttime sleep or anytime, anywhere naps. An additional benefit is that it muffles noise.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONThe idea for pillowhead was originally conceived while traveling cross country on a flight from Los Angeles to Boston in August 2006. I obtained a provisional patent U.S. 60/861,567, filing date Nov. 30, 2006 Applicant: Nicholas Peter Zappas, title of invention: Pillowhead.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTIONPillowhead is a simply sublime designed pillow that you can securely and comfortably wear wrapped around your head, allowing you to sleep in any position. It is especially valuable for travel in cars, trains, buses, and planes. It also provides, because of its wrap around padding, a nice noise buffer and warmth, allowing improved slumber. I can also be considered decorative and worn as a hat that provides slight protection from bumping parts of your head.
