Definitions

  • the object of the utility model is a specially formed pillow and mattress for patients suffering from reflux disease.
  • the specially formed pillow has a wedge shape, and at the larger end of the wedge it has a neck and head support conforming to the shape of the neck and head.
  • the special pillow in given cases is built together with a mattress portion.
  • reflux disease has become a popular disease.
  • the most common risk factors for reflux disease include obesity, drinking, smoking, excessive coffee consumption and stress.
  • An unhealthy diet and irregular eating, as well as an exercise-deficient lifestyle also contribute to the development of the disease.
  • Reflux often occurs in pregnant women, as the expanding uterus puts pressure on the abdominal organs.
  • Reflux backward flow
  • the frequent backflow of acidic gastric juice leads to the development of additional diseases.
  • the disease presents milder or more severe symptoms, varying by individual.
  • the disease is treatable, controllable by medical examination and therapy.
  • the aim of the utility model was to provide a pillow and mattress for patients suffering from reflux disease that is simple to produce, can prevent the backflow of acidic gastric juice into the esophagus, and in addition, its use ensures a comfortable and restful sleep.
  • the set aim was achieved with a specially formed pillow that has a wedge shape, and at the larger end of the wedge it has a neck and head support conforming to the shape of the neck and head.
  • the pillow in given cases can be built together with a mattress portion.
  • the utility model is based on the recognition that when a neck and head support conforming to the shape of the neck and head is formed on a wedge-shaped pillow, the neck and head are supported and free from tension during sleep, and thus no muscle strain occurs in the neck. Moreover, the formed neck and head support does not allow the body to slide down to the bottom of the wedge-shaped pillow, thus the body remains in a raised position compared to the horizontal plane throughout sleep. In this body position the acidic gastric juice does not flow back from the stomach into the esophagus, that is the pillow prevents the development of reflux disease.
  • the special pillow ensures a pleasant, restful and peaceful sleep, the feeling of perfect comfort even with constant use.
  • the object of the utility model is a specially formed pillow that has a wedge shape, and at the larger end of the wedge it has a neck and head support conforming to the shape of the neck and head.
  • the upper pillow portion supporting the neck and head, conforming to their shape in a curved manner is formed from a softer foam of a density of preferably 16 - 40 kg/m 3 , most preferably 16 kg/m 3 .
  • the pillow is 40 - 90 cm wide and 50 - 80 cm long, at the waist it is 1- 5 cm high, and at the top of the head the height of the wedge is 10 - 30 cm, preferably 15 - 25 cm.
  • the dimensions can be adjusted to the body dimensions and to add to the feeling of comfort.
  • the most common pillow dimensions are: 60 cm wide, 80 cm long, 1 cm high at the waist and 20 cm high at the top of the head. It is advisable to use the pillow with a cover (pillowcase), preferably made from cotton.
  • the pillow according to the utility model is formed in such a way that the wedge consists of at least 3 zones: a head zone, a shoulder zone and a waist zone.
  • the zones are formed from foams of different densities according to the body parts pressing into the foam in such a way that the density of the shoulder zone is lower than the density of the head zone and the waist zone. It is advisable to form the head zone and the waist zone from a foam of a density of 25 - 80 kg/m 3 , preferably 30 kg/m 3 , and the shoulder zone from a foam of a density of 16 - 40 kg/m 3 , preferably 25 kg/m 3 .
  • a viscoelastic foam is preferable due to its property of regaining its original shape slower than regular foams.
  • a foam of a density of 16 - 40 kg/m 3 , preferably 40 kg/m 3 , having a profiled surface is used as a viscoelastic foam layer.
  • the thickness of the layer is advisably 2 cm.
  • the diameter of the ventilation holes is 2 - 8 mm, preferably 5 mm.
  • the pillow according to the utility model can be built together with mattresses of various thicknesses and structures, material compositions and material densities known from the state of the art.
  • the mattress built together with the pillow also consists of several zones: a hip zone, a thigh zone, a leg zone and an ankle zone.
  • the pillow according to the utility model is made in such a way that first the wedge shape is glued together with foam glue from the zones formed from foams of appropriate densities.
  • the neck and head support is cut with a machine suitable for this purpose to a shape conforming to the shape of the neck and head, and glued on top of the parts already glued together at the head zone.
  • the wedge shape is formed by the neck and head support, as well as the head, the shoulder and the waist zones all together.
  • a 2 cm viscoelastic foam layer is glued on the whole upper surface of the pillow made in this way.
  • the head and the waist zones can be made from foams of the same hardness, but the shoulder zone (to allow the shoulder to sink more into the foam mainly in a lateral body position) shall be made from a sorter, lower density foam.
  • the pillow can also be cut from foams of the same density and type.
  • the pillow is perforated perpendicularly in several places with a punching tool for the purpose of forming ventilation holes.
  • the pillow according to the utility model can be made also in such a way that the wedge shape is sewn from a suitable fabric and filled - for the purpose of forming the zones - with materials of different softnesses, or different materials (polyester, wool, other).
  • the pillow shown in Figure 1 consists of a head zone 3, a shoulder zone 4 and a waist zone 5.
  • a neck and head support 2 is glued on the head zone 3.
  • the surface of the pillow is covered with a viscoelastic foam layer 1 having a profiled surface.
  • Vertical ventilation through-holes 10 are formed throughout the pillow.
  • the pillow consisting of the head zone 3, the shoulder zone 4 and the waist zone is built together with a mattress portion shown in Figure 2 .
  • the mattress portion consists of a hip zone 6, a thigh zone 7, a leg zone 8 and an ankle zone 9.
  • the surface of the mattress is covered with a viscoelastic foam layer 1 having a profiled surface.
  • Vertical ventilation through-holes 10 are formed throughout the mattress.
  • the specially formed pillow according to the utility model is simple to produce, prevents the backflow of gastric acid into the esophagus, and prevents the development of reflux disease.
