Abstract:

A pillow for a headrest having a pair of opposing lateral head supports pads each having inner opposing and top surfaces for supporting the head. Alternatively, the pillow may be used for supporting and immobilizing the cervical spine of a person in a supine position. The pillow preferably includes three layers of plastic film sealed together about their periphery forming a closed upper chamber and a closed lower chamber. Two baffles preferably extend the width of the lower chamber thereby forming longitudinally oriented outer, intermediate and inner lower subchambers. All chambers and subchambers are appropriately filled with a viscous gel.
