Abstract

A pillow adapted for supporting the head of a user. In some embodiments, the pillow can have a visco-elastic body having a center portion elevated with respect to adjacent lateral side portions, each of which can have a recess. The recess can have a concave shape in both lateral and forward/rearward directions of the pillow, can extend and be open to the front and/or lateral sides of the pillow, and can be positioned and shaped to lie beneath the face of a user whose head is at least partially supported by the center portion of the body. Also, the center portion of the pillow can be separated from the laterally adjacent recesses by arcuate-shaped boundaries.
