ABSTRACT:
A pillow includes a first main face having an essentially planar main surface. This planar main surface includes a head receiving recess. The second main face of the pillow, located opposite the first main face, includes a plurality of extending fingers arranged in rows, wherein the fingers extend such that a base of the finger is located closer to the first main face than is the tip (or free end) of that finger. The fingers are of a length such that the finger tips essentially lie on a common plane which is essentially parallel to the essentially planar main surface of the first main face. Several recesses are defined in the area between a finger and the surrounding, adjacent fingers of the second main face. In particularly preferred embodiments of the pillow, the recesses between adjacent fingers extend through the pillow so as to provide vent holes through the pillow in the area of the head receiving recess. These vent holes can be formed in a preferred embodiment which involves coordinating the depth of the head receiving recess with respect to the depth of the adjacent valleys so that the innermost end of certain valleys open out into the head receiving recess. The pillow is advantageously made from a polyurethane foam material.
