A composite head and neck cushion is provided for use by a person in a supine position. The cushion includes a first, resilient member having an upper surface which conforms to and supports the physiologic curvature of the cervical vertebrae. A second member supports the head in a raised, but unflexed position. The invention may alternatively be described as a method for cushioning the head and neck. The method comprises (1) resiliently supporting the back of the neck of the person in an elevated position while permitting the cervical vertebrae to maintain their normal, physiologic curvature, and (2) supporting the head of the person in an elevated position while maintaining the cervical vertebrae and the occiput in an unflexed, physiologic position.
