ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic pillow which enhances muscular relaxation during sleep and which minimizes snoring is constituted by a soft compressible material which underlies the head, nape of the neck and shoulders of a sleeper lying on his back. This pillow is generally rectangular in plan view and has its upper surface contoured to provide laterally spaced upstanding side margins at each side of a body-supporting central region. The central region has a centrally positioned nape-supporting portion of greatest elevation convexly curved from top to bottom and concavely curved from side to side to support the nape of the neck. The nape-supporting portion separates: (1) a side to side concave portion at the upper end of said pillow which is inclined downwardly from its highest point at said nape-supporting portion to a low point at the occipital portion of the head for supporting the back of the head; from (2) a second portion at the lower end of said pillow for supporting the upper portion of the back which is inclined downwardly from its highest point at said nape-supporting portion to a lower end of minimum elevation. The back-supporting inclined portion is bordered at both sides thereof by shoulder-receiving depressions where the pillow is of minimum thickness.
