Hotel bed pillow set

Abstract

A set of at least two substantially rectangular pillows sold as a bundle for use in locations that accommodate a periodic changing or replacement of clientele, such as hotels, motels, hospitals, military barracks, college dormitories, and the like. A first substantially rectangular pillow has a longitudinal upper border having a proximal end and a distal end and a longitudinal lower border parallel to the longitudinal upper border, the longitudinal lower border having a proximal end and a distal end, each of the ends being oppositely disposed to the longitudinal upper border proximal end and the longitudinal upper border distal end, respectively. A first side border is connected to the proximal ends of the longitudinal upper border and the longitudinal lower border. A second side border is connected to the distal ends of the longitudinal upper border and the longitudinal lower border. A longitudinal partition is disposed parallel to the longitudinal upper border and the longitudinal lower border extending between the first and second side borders and extends entirely through the thickness of the first pillow, forming an upper portion and a lower portion of the first pillow. A first quantity of material fills the upper portion of the first pillow and a second quantity of material fills the lower portion of the first pillow, so that the upper portion of the first pillow has a first thickness, and the lower portion of the first pillow has a second thickness. A second substantially rectangular pillow is substantially identical to the first pillow, but the upper portion of the second pillow has a third thickness and the lower portion of said second pillow has a fourth thickness, the first thickness being less than the third thickness and the second thickness being less than the fourth thickness.
