US Patent 11877661 Sling headrest

A recumbent head support system, designed as an alternative to conventional sleep pillows, comprising a frame which suspends a fabric platform that is adjustable for height, weight-bearing distribution and shifting of pressure point. It is a headrest that enables the user to personalize a desired level of support without having to lift their head off the support. The headrest suspension system includes base cross support members, a panel or base framework secured to base cross support member, vertical members secured to base cross support members, and a pair of horizontal members cantilevered and rotatably secured to vertical members (or upper cross support member), and a fabric sling that attaches to the rotatable horizontal members. Optionally, user-actuated control elements are provided to fine-tune height, concavity/droop, tilt and pitch of fabric platform.
