Abstract
Modular pillow systems include one or two individual bolster component(s) and a traditional pillow component. When two bolster components are employed, the traditional pillow component is positioned between the two bolster components, and when one bolster component is employed, the traditional pillow component is positioned to one side of the bolster component. The density and diameter and/or size of the individual modular components may be selected based on the anatomical characteristics and/or comfort and support characteristics of the user. The bolster component(s) and the traditional pillow component may be contained in a shell or cover or conventional pillowcase sized and dimensioned to snugly fit around the bolster component(s) and traditional pillow component and hold the components together.
