Sound deafening pillow

Abstract

A pillow comprises a resilient median portion, two resilient lateral portions and sound deafening earmuffs. The median portion is adapted to receive a back of a person's head. The two lateral portions are attached to an opposite side of the median portion. The earmuffs comprise two sound deafening ear coverings and a flexible band connecting the two sound deafening ear coverings. Each one of the two lateral portion have a cavity to accommodate the sound deafening ear coverings. In use, the flexible band is operative to bias the two sound deafening ear coverings over two ears of the person.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A pillow comprising:
 a resilient median portion, said median portion being adapted to receive a back of a person's head;   two resilient lateral portions, said two lateral portions being attached to an opposite side of said median portion, each one of said two lateral portion having a cavity;   two sound deafening ear coverings, said two sound deafening ear covering being located within said cavity of a different one of said two lateral portions, each one of said two sound deafening ear coverings having:
 a shell; 
 a sound absorbing material, said sound absorbing material being placed within said shell; and 
 a seal, said seal being made of a resilient material, said seal being located on a perimeter of said shell so as to surround an ear of the sleeper when in use; and 
   a flexible band connecting said two sound deafening ear coverings;   wherein in use, said flexible band is operative to bias said two sound deafening ear coverings over two ears of the person.   
     
     
         2 . The pillow of  claim 1  wherein said cavity is located substantially in a central portion of said lateral portion. 
     
     
         3 . The pillow of  claim 2  wherein said seal is made of a gel. 
     
     
         4 . The pillow of  claim 2  wherein said two resilient lateral portions are thicker than said sound deafening ear covering. 
     
     
         5 . The pillow of  claim 3  wherein the flexible band is routed inside said resilient median portion. 
     
     
         6 . A pillow comprising:
 a resilient median portion, said median portion being adapted to receive a back of a person's head;   two resilient lateral portions, said two lateral portions being attached to an opposite side of said median portion, each one of said two lateral portion having a cavity in its central portion;   noise deafening earmuffs, said earmuffs having two ear coverings connected by a flexible band;   wherein in use, said flexible band is operative to bias said two sound deafening ear coverings over two ears of the person.   
     
     
         7 . The pillow of  claim 6  wherein each one of said ear covering is located substantially in a central portion of a respective one of said two lateral portions. 
     
     
         8 . The pillow of  claim 7  wherein each one of said two ear coverings comprise a seal operative to surround an ear of a person. 
     
     
         9 . The pillow of  claim 8  wherein said seal is made of a gel. 
     
     
         10 . The pillow of  claim 8  wherein said two resilient lateral portions are thicker than said sound deafening ear covering. 
     
     
         11 . The pillow of  claim 9  wherein the flexible band is routed inside said resilient median portion.
