A pillow (10) includes an upper surface (16), a lower surface (18) and side edges (12, 14) wherein the upper surface (16) includes a raised edge (20, 21) proximate the upper and lower edges of the upper surface (16). The upper surface (16) includes at least one cut out (24) through either the raised edge (20 or 21) proximate the upper or lower edge that is configured to support the user's neck in an anatomically correct position. A recessed surface (22) in the upper surface (16) for supporting the back surface of the user's neck and cranium and the sides of the user's head extends from proximate a left edge (12) to proximate a right edge (14) and is in communication with the at least one cut out (24). The pillow (10) is of a sufficient height to extend from the user's neck to above the user's ears and face. The pillow (10) includes at least one internal armature (40, 42) that is flexible and bendable such that the pillow (10) can be manipulated into a selected configuration with manual force. The armature (40, 42) is sufficiently strong while being malleable such that the pillow (10) can be configured from a substantially flat configuration and into a substantially "U" shape where left and right edges (12, 14) are in front of the user's face. In the "U" shaped configuration, the user can roll from side to side while the pillow (10) remains in direct contact and rolls uniformly with the user's head maintaining support for both the neck and head and thereby provide a more comfortable rest or sleep. |
