Body support having hingedly connected semi-cylindrical cushions

A method of providing support to a person's neck, comprising the steps of:

• securing a body support in a closed position;
• and
• positioning the body support in contact with a back portion of the neck;
• the body support including:
• a first resilient cushion having a substantially semicylindrical shape defined by a semicylindrical top surface, two substantially semicircular end surfaces, and a substantially rectangular bottom surface having first and second long sides and two short sides, the first cushion containing a first quantity of stuffing such that the substantially rectangular bottom surface of the first cushion has a convex shape;
• a second resilient cushion having a substantially semicylindrical shape defined by a semicylindrical top surface, two substantially semicircular end surfaces, and a substantially rectangular bottom surface having first and second long sides and two short sides, the second cushion having a diameter that is approximately equal to a diameter of the first cushion and containing a second quantity of stuffing such that the substantially rectangular bottom surface of the second cushion has a convex shape, the first long side of the second cushion being hingedly connected to the second long side of the first cushion so that the first and second cushions can be rotated with respect to each other from an open position to the closed position in which the substantially rectangular bottom surface of the first cushion is in contact with the substantially rectangular bottom surface of the second cushion;
• and
• a zipper having a first zipper section connected along substantially an entire length of the first long side of the first cushion and a second zipper section connected along substantially an entire length of the second long side of the second cushion so that the first and second zipper sections can be zipped together to squeeze the convex shaped substantially rectangular bottom surfaces of the first and second cushions together in order to increase firmness of the first and second cushions when they are secured in the closed position.
