Patent ID: 10813480

Abstract:
A pillow is provided with an insert or inner pillow that is removable. Having removable insert or inner pillow enables filling of the removable inner pillow with a different filling material that is not amenable to washing. Thus the outer pillow that is in contact with a person's body and tends to accumulate dust and microbes among the fill can be washed after removal of the insert or inner pillow. The insert or inner pillow can be filled with a less expensive filling material such as synthetic fibers, viscoelastic foam, latex etc. whereas the outer pillow can have a superior quality filling material that is softer, fluffier and has better insulating properties such as down or down mixed/blended with feather, thus providing an affordable pillow with comfort and superior characteristics of down and can be laundered to maintain hygiene. The outer surface of the inner pillow may include a fluid impermeable material.
