Betty's moon rest
Abstract
It is a cushion object designed to provide support and comfort
for the head, neck, back, legs, etc. It can be used individually
while sitting up or lying down. It is made of any materials
suitable for making cushioned objects. Its form and size varies
depending on its use, but the characteristics are the same. 1) Head
and Neck Support Cushion (Lying Down) From a vertical view, the
Head and Neck Support Cushion curves into the middle with even
depth curves making a narrow center. From the horizontal viewpoint,
the narrow center becomes wider as it expands to the sides forming
the body. The streamlines curve in or out forming a crest moon
facing in or out at each end. The cushion object has built-in
pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fibers.
The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on
one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side. 2)
Head and Neck Support Cushion (Sitting Up) From a vertical view,
the cushion object curves into the middle with one curve deeper
than the other making a narrow center. The deeper curve goes up and
around the center and then goes down making the space that holds
the neck in place. As in cushion number one, the narrow center
becomes wider as it expands to the sides forming the body. The
streamlines curve in or out forming a crest moon facing in or out
at each end. The cushion has built-in pockets filled with pellets
(or any bead type material) or fiber for extra support and comfort.
The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on
one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side. 3)
Upper and Lower Back Support Cushion From a vertical view, the
cushion is arched on the top and curved in at the bottom. The sides
form two straight lines going downward. The cushion object has
built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or
fibers. The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet
pockets on one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the
other. 4) Leg Support Cushion From a vertical view, the cushion
curves outward in the front and inward in the back. The cushion
object has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead type
material) or fibers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] This cushion was developed to provide relief from a history
of neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It is a cushioned object designed to provide support and
comfort for the head, neck, back, legs, etc. It can be used
individually while sitting up or lying down. It is made of any
materials suitable for making cushioned objects. Its form and size
varies depending on its use, but the characteristics are the same.
Its design allows the user to feel more relaxed by relieving the
pressure on the joints, muscles, and nerves in the neck, shoulders,
back, and legs.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
[0006] FIG. 1 (Top View).
[0007] From the front, version 1 of the Moon Rest, the Head and
Neck Support Cushion curves into the middle with even depth curves
making a narrow center. The ends are curved inward forming a crest
moon shape. The narrow center becomes wider as it expands to the
sides forming the body. The cushion object has built-in pockets
filled with pellets (or any bead type material) or fibers. The
cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on one
side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side.
[0008] FIG. 1 (Side View).
[0009] From the side, version 1 of the Moon Rest, the Head and Neck
Support Cushion curves inward on both the vertical and horizontal
ends. The thickness of the cushion varies according to the amount
of filling placed inside of it.
[0010] FIG. 2 (Top View).
[0011] From the front, version 2 of the Moon Rest, the Head and
Neck Support Cushion curves outward at the middle with one curve
deeper than the other making a narrow center. The deeper curve goes
up and around the center and then goes down making the space that
holds the neck in place. As in version 1, the narrow center becomes
wider as it expands to the sides forming the body. The streamlines
curve in or out forming a crest moon facing in or out at each end.
The cushion has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any bead
type material) or fiber for extra support and comfort. The cushion
object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on one side and
single or multiple fiber pockets on the other side.
[0012] FIG. 2 (Side View).
[0013] From the side, version 2 of the Moon Rest, the Head and Neck

placed inside of it.
[0014] FIG. 3 (Top View).
[0015] From the side view, version 3 of the Moon Rest, the Head and
Neck Support Cushion curves into the middle with one curve deeper
than the other making a narrow center. The deeper curve goes up and
around the center and then goes down making the space that holds
the neck in place. As in cushion number one, the narrow center
becomes wider as it expands to the sides forming the body. The
streamlines curve in or out forming a crest moon facing in or out
at each end. The cushion has built-in pockets filled with pellets
(or any bead type material) or fiber for extra support and comfort.
The cushion object can have single or multiple pellet pockets on
one side and single or multiple fiber pockets on the other
side.
[0016] FIG. 3 (Side View).
[0017] From the side, version 3 of the Moon Rest, the Head and Neck
Support Cushion curves in forming a crest moon facing outward. The
thickness of the cushion varies according to the amount of filling
placed inside of it.

[0019] From the front, version 4 of the Moon Rest, the Upper Back
Support Cushion is arched on the top and curved in at the bottom.
The cushion object has built-in pockets filled with pellets (or any
bead type material) or fibers. The cushion object can have single
or multiple pellet pockets on one side and single or multiple fiber
pockets on the other.
[0020] FIG. 4 (Side View).
[0021] From the side, version 4 of the Moon Rest, the Upper Back
Support Cushion has two straight lines going downward. The
thickness of the cushion varies according to the amount of filling

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0030] Moon Rest is a pillow or cushion improved by adding built in
fiber or pellet pockets or the combination of pellet pockets on one
side and fiber pockets on the other side. The pockets are located
in the center or the end of the cushion or pillow. These pockets
are designed to provide extra support and comfort making a cushion
that can be soft on one side and firm on the other side depending
on the user's needs. Moon Rest is also a pillow improved in its
form. It has a narrow center and crest moon shaped on the side and
ends to provide better support. Some versions of Moon Rest include
a pocket for eyewear.
[0031] Constructing a Moon Rest pillow or cushion consists of
several steps. First, the templates should be placed on top of the
fabric chosen and the main body and pockets cut. The main body
requires two pieces of fabric and the pockets require one piece of
fabric per pocket.
[0032] Second, the pockets should be positioned on the parts of the
main body that will be on the inside of the pillow and sewn in
place leaving a small opening on one end to allow for the entry of
the filler material.
[0033] Third, the two pieces of fabric for the main body should be
placed together with the pockets on the outside. Sew the main body
together, leaving one end open to allow for entry of the filler
material.
[0034] Fourth, fill both pockets with pellets, or both pockets with
fiber material, or one pocket with pellets and the other with fiber
material. Sew the pockets closed to prevent the filler from
escaping. Use of a small funnel is recommended to fill the pockets
with pellets.
[0035] Fifth, turn the main body inside out. This will allow the
pockets to become enclosed inside the pillow. Fill with fiber
material to desired thickness or consistency. Sew the open closed.
Fluff the pillow to ensure even distribution of filler material.
This completes the pillow construction.
