ABSTRACT:
A support for the neck and head of a human being, such as a travel pillow, comprises a right and a left elongate support member (101,102; 201,202; 302;303; 401,402; 400A,401A;500,502; 504,506; 906,908), and a collapsible intermediate section (100,106; 200; 300,305; 400; 510,512; 910). The support members are adapted to extend in the human being's cranial-caudal direction and to support a right and a left portion of the back head and neck, whereby the support members define left and right edges for engaging the human being's neck and mastoid bones behind the human being's ears to provide a stable support for the human being's head when the support is under pressure from the human being's head and neck. Each of the support members and the intermediate section is sufficiently bendable to conform to the natural contour of the left and right neck and head portions of the human being.
