Abstract
In a pillow comprising at least three substantially flat bags successively layered, each of intermediate layer bags other than top and bottom layer bags is provided with closure means and provided substantially at the middle of each intermediate layer bag with a pocket having also its own closure means through which cedar chips are enclosed in this pocket. Chips of synthetic resin are enclosed in one of the outermost layer bags and a fibrous member containing aromatic essence of Japanese cypress is enclosed in the other outermost layer bag. No content is enclosed in the bags other than the intermediate layer bags in their regions over- and underlying the pockets so that a recess having no significant thickness is formed in those regions over- and underlying the pockets. The regions of the intermediate layer bag(s) extending adjacent the periphery of the pillow may be loaded with cedar chip bags so as to adjust a thickness of the pillow in its peripheral region. In this manner, the novel pillow supports the user's head and neck with comfortable stability and contributes to elimination of minute forms of life such as ticks as well as to a desired aroma-therapeutic effect.
