<p>A cervical pillow (2) is provided having a multi-component polyurethane foam construction with an upper portion (4), intermediate portion (6) and foundation portion (8). The upper portion (4) includes a convoluted support surface (10) preferably having multi-density upwardly extending protrusions (14) and is laminated to the intermediate portion (6). The intermediate portion (6) is configured having two generally perpendicular channel depressions (20, 22) of equal depth for supporting and stabilizing the head and neck in an anatomically neutral position, the upper portion (4) conforming to the channels (20, 22) and communicating the channel contour to the support surface (10). Local support adjustment along one channel is facilitated by a cut-out (28) in the intermediate portion (6) which houses a removable insert. The foundation portion (8) includes a removable base (36) to provide adjustable vertical height of the support surface (10) to adapt to a wide range of users. In an alternative embodiment, the foundation portion (8) also includes a removable middle section positionable between an upper section (34) and the base (36) to provide additional vertical support adjustment. The middle section can be flat or wedge shaped to provide inclination of the support surface (10) when desired. Another alternative embodiment includes a removable cover which encloses the cervical pillow (2) and includes an external pocket positioned over a portion of a channel and removably house a supplemental member such as a thermal pack which can be used for therapeutic purposes.</p> |
