Abstract
A support pillow providing head and neck support to a user laying upon it. The device employs a support pillow insert surrounded by a pillow casing having planar top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall extending between them. An insert engage able in the casing provides substantially planar support surfaces with a centrally located passage providing a relief for positioning one's head on the pillow. Proper support and spine alignment is provided by a shoulder portion of the pillow for the neck which may be formed of different material than the pillow, or varied in with or compressive force using inserts.
Claims19
A pillow apparatus for spine alignment and neck support comprising:
- an pillow adapted for engagement within an interior cavity of a pillow casing;
- said pillow having a body formed of resilient material and having substantially planar first surface opposite a substantially planar parallel second surface;
- a sidewall communicating between said first and second surfaces, said sidewall defining a perimeter of said pillow;
- a passage defined by a cicumfrential edge, said passage communicating between apertures in said first and second surface at a central portion of said first surface and said second surface;
- opposing shoulder portions of said pillow defined by an area of said pillow body between said perimeter of said pillow and said cicumfrential edge defining said passage;
- said shoulder portions forming a support for a neck of a user having their head positioned in an as-used position, partially aligned with said passage when said pillow is positioned upon a support surface;
- said passage forming a relief for a communicating portion of said user's head positioned within said cicumfrential edge;
- said passage defining a heat sink for heat from said user's head positioned in said as-used position;
- and
- whereby a user positioning their head upon said support surface area in said as used position, is provided a neck support by a said shoulder portion concurrent with said heat sink by said passage.
