Pillow

Abstract

A pillow includes a core of chip foam, at least one fiber layer, and a cover. The chip foam core is positioned in a leak proof liner. The at least one fiber layer is positioned at least in part around the chip foam core. The cover encloses the chip foam core and the at least one fiber layer. Another pillow includes a core of chip foam and a quilted layer positioned at least in part around the core of chip foam.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pillow comprising:
 a core of chip foam positioned in a leak proof liner;   at least one fiber layer positioned at least in part around the chip foam core; and   a cover enclosing the chip foam core and the at least one fiber layer.   
     
     
         2 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the fiber layer is positioned only on one side of the chip foam core. 
     
     
         3 . The pillow of  claim 1 , further comprising a quilted layer at least one of forming the cover and/or positioned around the at least one fiber layer. 
     
     
         4 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the chip foam is a polyurethane or latex foam material. 
     
     
         5 . The pillow of  claim 1 , further comprising a solid foam layer or a fiber layer positioned inside the chip foam core. 
     
     
         6 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the chip foam core includes at least a first type of chip foam and at least a second type of chip foam, wherein the first and second types of chip foam are intermixed, or the first and second types of chip foam are positioned in separate layers. 
     
     
         7 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fiber layer comprises a pair of fiber layers, with one fiber layer positioned on top of the chip foam core and a second fiber layer positioned under the chip foam core. 
     
     
         8 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fiber layer comprises multiple fiber layers. 
     
     
         9 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fiber layer comprises a plurality of fiber layers, with a first fiber layer positioned around the chip foam core, and a second fiber layer positioned around the first fiber layer. 
     
     
         10 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fiber layer comprises a single fiber layer that completely surrounds the chip foam core. 
     
     
         11 . A pillow comprising:
 a core of chip foam;   a quilted layer positioned at least in part around the core of chip foam.   
     
     
         12 . The pillow of  claim 11 , wherein the core of chip foam is positioned in a liner; and
 further comprising a fiber layer positioned between the chip foam core and the quilted layer; or a fiber layer positioned around part of the chip foam core between the quilted layer and the chip foam core.   
     
     
         13 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the fiber layer is positioned in a liner. 
     
     
         14 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the fiber layer includes multiple fiber layers that are stacked on top of one another. 
     
     
         15 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the fiber layer is positioned directly adjacent the chip foam core. 
     
     
         16 . The pillow of  claim 11 , wherein the chip foam core includes at least a first type of chip foam and at least a second type of chip foam, wherein the first and second types of chip foam are intermixed, or the first and second types of chip foam are positioned in separate layers or rows, with each layer or row being positioned in a liner. 
     
     
         17 . The pillow of  claim 11 , wherein the chip foam core includes a solid layer of foam or a layer of fiber positioned inside the chip foam core. 
     
     
         18 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the fiber layer is positioned only on a top surface of the chip foam core. 
     
     
         19 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the fiber layer includes a first fiber layer positioned on a first side of the chip foam core and a second fiber layer positioned on a second side of the chip foam core, with the first and second fiber layers being different from one another. 
     
     
         20 . The pillow of  claim 12 , wherein the chip foam is made of one or more of polyurethane foam, latex foam, a viscoelastic or memory foam, polyethylene foam; and
 the fiber layer is made of one or more of polyester, polyurethane, natural, organic, or synthetic fibers, feathers, down, or a combination thereof.
