Adjustable pillow

Abstract

An adjustable pillow comprising a support surface for receiving and supporting at least a part of a human body and forming a plurality of apertures there through for providing air circulation and substantial washability and at least one foldable channel. The foldable channel is a recess in the support surface about which the support surface generally folds is disclosed. The plurality of apertures provides efficient conduits through which air and water may flow while the pillow is folded along a foldable channel or unfolded.

       4 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the cushion material has a thickness of between approximately 1 to 3 inches. 
   
   
       5 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the cushion material comprises a pliable material. 
   
   
       6 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 5 , wherein the cushion material comprises at least one of a foam construction, latex, natural fibers, or synthetic fibers. 
   
   
       7 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 6 , wherein the cushion material comprises a foam construction of at least one of open cell construction, closed cell construction, small cell construction, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, or polyether foam. 
   
   
       8 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 6 , wherein the cushion material further comprises a protective coating applied to at least one of the first support surface or the second support surface. 
   
   
       9 . An adjustable pillow, comprising:
 a first support surface;   a second support surface opposite the first support surface;   a cushion material disposed between the first support surface and the second support surface for providing a cushion body;   a foldable channel in at least one of the first support surface and the second support surface, providing an axis about which at least a portion of the at least one of the first support surface and the second support surface generally folds; and   a plurality of apertures extending between the first support surface and the second support surface, the plurality of apertures providing a conduit for ventilating the first support surface and the second support surface,   wherein the foldable channel forms a contour in the at least one of the first support surface and the second support surface.   
   
   
       10 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of apertures further extends through the foldable channel. 
   
   
       11 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 9 , where the cushion material comprises a pliable material. 
   
   
       12 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 11 , wherein the cushion material comprises at least one of a foam construction, latex, natural fibers, or synthetic fibers. 
   
   
       13 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the cushion material comprises a foam construction of at least one of open cell construction, closed cell construction, small cell construction, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, or polyether foam. 
   
   
       14 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the cushion material further comprises a protective coating applied to at least one of the first support surface, the second support surface, or the cushion material. 
   
   
       15 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the cushion body is approximately 3 inches thick. 
   
   
       16 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the cushion material disposed between the foldable channel and one of a group consisting of a second foldable channel, the first support surface, and the second support surface is at least approximately 1 inch thick. 
   
   
       17 . An adjustable pillow, comprising:
 a first portion defining a plurality of apertures for ventilating the first portion; and   a second portion interconnected with the first portion,   wherein the second portion defines a channel about which the first portion substantially folds, the first portion and the second portion comprising a foam construction of at least one of open cell construction, closed cell construction, small cell construction, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, or polyether.   
   
   
       18 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 17 , wherein the second portion defines a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channels providing a fold about which the first portion rotates. 
   
   
       19 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 17 , wherein the second portion further defines of plurality of apertures for ventilating the second portion. 
   
   
       20 . The adjustable pillow of  claim 17 , wherein the second portion has a thickness of between approximately 1 to 3 inches, and the first portion has a thickness of at least approximately 3 inches.
