ABSTRACT:
A three component, self adjustable pillow is provided to support and align a user's head, and shoulders. The pillow comprises a head support base containing a soft fill such as polyester, nylon, foam, chip foam, etc., and shaped as a round or elliptical, solid cylinder. A cloth attachment piece is connected along one of its sides to the pillow by sewing along the pillow length. A circular-shaped, cylindrical neck support is sewn onto the cloth attachment piece along its remaining free side, and this enables the neck support to rest on the head support base for adjustable movement by the user.
Preferably, the user's shoulders are supported on the head support base and located somewhere between the edge of the support base and the base of the neck support, and usually at the edge of the support base. The soft fill construction of the head support base enables inward forces of compression produced by the user's shoulders to be transmitted into the pillow, and this causes these compressive forces to be directed along the head support base and upwards to the neck support. These upward forces will enhance the support function of the neck support. Since the user's head rests on the portion of the support base beyond the neck support, the overall effect of the adjustable pillow produces both an alignment and support of the user's shoulders, neck and head. This reduces the tendency to stiffness, discomfort, chronic muscle strain, and aching in the neck and shoulder area.
