This non-provisional utility application claims the benefit and priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/868,049 filed Jun. 28, 2019, entitled “Sleep-in Beauty Pillow,” the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUNDWhen a person gets their hair or makeup done by stylists, she can be in the stylist's chair for long periods of time which can cause stress on the neck, among other areas. Even after the hair or makeup is complete, the person may not want to disturb their makeover when, for example, laying down on a bed.
SUMMARYA sleep-in beauty pillow is configured as a support element to be placed around a neck to protect and preserve the wearers hair and makeup, such as while sleeping. In other applications, the beauty pillow can be used to provide support to the user's neck or chin while the user is getting his or her hair and/or makeup done. The beauty pillow is comprised of polyester silk and includes memory foam to provide comfort to the user.
The support element of the beauty pillow tapers in height on both ends. While a bottom of the beauty-pillow is substantially flat, both tapered ends of the beauty pillow gradually increase in height to a respective peak. Each respective peak gradually decreases in height to form a recess, or plateau, at or near a center of the beauty pillow. The center recess is used to provide support to a portion of the user's body, such as the chin or neck, when the user is getting his or her hair or makeup done, respectively.
Velcro™ is attached on both end portions of the beauty pillow which can be used to attach and detach the beauty-pillow from around the user's neck. By using Velcro™, the beauty-pillow can accommodate a range of neck sizes (e.g., from thin to thick). While Velcro™ is depicted in the figures, other fastening mechanisms are also possible, such as tab and notch, friction fit, etc.
