ABSTRACT:
A pillow adapted to support the head of a user includes a core having an axis extending through a central section and opposing end sections. The central section has a thickness adapted to support the head of a user and a length generally equivalent to the width of the user's head. The end sections are bent from the central section and are generally coextensive in a common direction to provide the core with a U-shaped configuration. Portions of the core define a slit extending into the core and a spring is disposed in the slit to extend through the central section and into each of the end sections. The spring has properties for biasing the end sections toward each other to provide a snug fit relationship with the ears of the user and thereby attenuate environmental sound. Speakers can also be placed in the slit to accommodate transmission of audio sound to the ears of the user. The pillow can be provided with a pillow case surrounding the core and a tote bag permanently attached to the pillow case. The tote bag has a stored position within the pillow case and a tote position everted from the pillow case for carrying the pillow. A method for carrying the pillow includes the step of everting the tote bag over the pillow and pillow case to carry the pillow.
