Neck cushioning pad

In a cushion adapted to overlie a portion of a sink, which sink includes a bowl having an inner bowl surface, a substantially horizontal surface connected to and projecting outwardly from a top edge of the bowl, and a downwardly directed surface connected to and depending from said substantially horizontal surface, and which cushion includes a first portion adapted to overlie a portion of said bowl surface, a second portion integrally connected to said first portion and adapted to overlie a portion of said substantially horizontal surface, and a third portion integrally connected to said second portion and adapted to overlie a portion of said downwardly directed surface, and each of said first, second, and third portions having first, second, and third top surfaces, respectively, the improvement comprising:

• a relatively thin layer of silicone provided on said third top surface;
• a relatively thin layer of silicone provided on a first portion of said second top surface, adjacent said third top surface;
• said first top surface and a second portion of said second top surface being permeable to water;
• and
• said first and third portions being resilient and inclined toward one another.

• a flexible, resilient cushion, said cushion being sufficiently large and being adapted to overlie said portion of said sink, and said cushion including
• a first portion adapted to overlie a portion of said bowl surface,
• a second portion integrally connected to said first portion and adapted to overlie a portion of said substantially horizontal surface, and
• a third portion integrally connected to said second portion and adapted to overlie a portion of said downwardly directed surface;
• said first portion having a concave curvature so that a lower end of said first portion is inclined toward said third portion, and a thickness of said first portion increasing from a lower end of said first portion toward the opposite end of said first portion, adjacent said second portion;
• said third portion being inclined toward said first portion, and a thickness of said third portion increasing from a lower end of said third portion toward the opposite end of said third portion, adjacent said second portion;
