The hardness is different from the hardness, and the one end 3a and the other end 3b have different hardnesses. In the figure, the hardness of the one end 3a is the hardness of the other end 3b. It shows that it is larger.

FIG. 3 shows the pillow body 1 provided with a plurality of holes 4 each having an opening at one end in the thickness direction thereof, and a rod-shaped cushion body 5 is inserted into each hole 4. The rod-shaped cushion body 5 is made of the same material as that of the rod-shaped cushion body 3 except that it has a length equal to the depth of the hole 4, and has a hardness different from that of the pillow body 1. Of course, the hardness of the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5b are different, and in the figure, the hardness of the one end portion 5a is larger than the hardness of the other end portion 5b.

The hardness of the pillow main body 1 and the one end portions 3a, 5a and the other end portions 3b, 5b of the rod-shaped cushion bodies 3, 5 are the same as those of the pillow body 1, and the rod-shaped cushion body 3 has the largest hardness. , 5 one end portion 3a, 5a is next to this, and the other end portions 3b, 5b are made to have the smallest hardness, or one end portions 3a, 5a of the rod-shaped cushion bodies 3, 5 are made largest and the other end portions 3b, 5b are made the largest. Next to this, the hardness of the pillow body 1 is made the smallest, or the end portions 3a, 5a of the rod-shaped cushion bodies 3, 5 are made the largest, and the pillow body 1 is next, and the rod-shaped cushion body 3, 5. It is possible to make the hardness of the entire pillow different by taking any combination such as minimizing the hardness of the other ends 3b and 5b of 5.

Of course, since the pillow of the present invention has the above-described structure, the through holes 2 and the one end opening of the pillow body 1 are vertically changed while vertically changing the rod-shaped cushion bodies 3 and 5 according to the user's preference. By inserting it into the hole 4 and lowering the hardness of the part that contacts the occipital region and increasing the hardness of the part that contacts the neck muscles, for example, it is possible to obtain a desired pillow with various soft and soft performances with different hardness. I can.

When the rod-shaped cushion bodies 3 and 5 inserted into the pillow body 1 are taken out from the pillow body 1 and the upper and lower sides are changed, the elasticity of the pillow body 1 is used to facilitate the taking-out. It can be carried out.
