摘要： The present invention provides a tubular pillow including a cover tube and method for enclosing the inside and outside surfaces thereof. The tubular pillow has a tubular body formed of a soft and resilient material with a central tunnel passing through longitudinally. The cover tube is a fabric tube having closure elements preferably of the snap fastener type. The cover tube is mounted onto the tubular body by passing through the central tunnel and bringing each end of the cover tube around the tubular body with a set of snap fasteners engaging a complementary set of snap fasteners on the tubular body. In a second embodiment, the cover tube has a set of closure elements mounted on each end, configured and mounted so as to connect to each other. When the cover tube is assembled to the tubular body, the tubular pillow of the invention simulates the appearance of a conventional pillow.
