Patent ID: 8161588

Claim:
A pillow configured for reducing facial wrinkling for a user, the pillow comprising: a top surface providing a substantially central supine section flanked by a left side section and a substantially symmetrical right side section, the left and right side sections elevated relatively higher than the supine section, laterally sloping upwardly therefrom and terminating in a left edge and right edge, respectively, of the pillow; the supine section configured for accommodating the user when lying in a supine position and comprising a substantially semi-spherical cephalic indentation sized and configured for supporting a rear area of a head of the user; each of the left and right side sections configured for accommodating the user when lying in a side position and comprising: a side indentation sized and configured such that a perimeter edge of the side indentation contacts a portion of the user's head, substantially adjacent a face of the user, with the user's face elevated and positioned directly over the side indentation; and a front corner piece and a rear corner piece integral with the respective edge of the pillow and upwardly extending from the top surface of the pillow, said front and rear corner pieces configured for substantially preventing the user's head from unintentionally rolling off the respective edge of the pillow; whereby, with a bottom surface of the pillow positioned on a relatively flat sleeping surface, the pillow is capable of substantially assisting in physically directing the user in selectively transitioning between each of the supine position, left side position, and right side position as desired, while substantially maintaining the user's head, neck, shoulders, and back in neutral alignment and substantially preventing facial contact with the pillow or the underlying sleeping surface.
