Abstract:

A travel pillow comprising a front having a thin planar portion for receiving the user's head and one or two lateral forwardly projecting cushioning portions. The distance the lateral cushioning portions project forward gradually increases from the thin planar portion to a peripheral portion of the travel pillow in an arced manner. The back of the pillow comprises an anti-skid material such as silicone coated fiberglass weave which keeps the pillow stationary when the user rests his/her head against the pillow. The user places the pillow on the seat and then rest the back of his/her head on the thin planar portion of the pillow. The user can then tilt or turn his/her head in many different positions on a lateral cushion and the pillow will remain stationary.
