ABSTRACT:
A pillow for increased comfort while sleeping which is stuffed with a fibrous filling in which are embedded capsules impregnated with a volatile substance. The volatile substance may be either a fragrance, a medicinal agent or a sanitizing agent. The capsules are held within the pillow in such a way as to prevent them from migrating through the filling. Devices for preventing such migration include strips of porous fabric with one or more compartments formed therein. The compartments retain individual groups of capsules in spaced apart relationship to each other within the pillow. Alternately, the fibers of the filling are pretreated with a volatile agent which is adsorbed on the fiber surfaces, preventing the agent from migrating within the filling. In pillows with a filling otherwise capable of releasing volatile agent(s) but having a non-breathable, air impermeable ticking of vinyl or the like, small vents are formed in each corner of the ticking to allow such agent(s) to escape. A compartmentalized strip holding capsules impregnated with a volatile substance can also be secured within a pillowcase, generally establishing the position of the capsules relative to any pillow which might be placed within the pillowcase.
