- a member made of resilient material having two elongated cylindrical shaped bolsters of substantially the same size attached to opposite long ends of a generally horizontal rectangular resilient element that connects the bolsters to each other, having generally planar upper and lower surfaces, and a thickness smaller than the diameters of the bolsters, thereby defining an upper and lower cavity;
- two generally rectangular resilient cushions, each being substantially the same size as said planar surfaces, each consisting of a multitude of pyramid shaped nodes arranged in a matrix fashion on one side, each cushion being joined to a respective upper and lower surface of the resilient element, within the respective cavities so as to expose said pyramid shaped nodes,
- whereby a user can rest his or her head on either cushion while supporting his or her neck on either of said bolsters and yield maximum support and comfort.
