Abstract
An adjustable support/pad that retains any shape to which it is configured and which may be reshaped to serve another purpose. The support/pad has at least one pliable coil spring in the shape of a flexible tube capable of being bent into multiple positions and holding any of the positions until it is again bent. The coil spring is embedded in a deformable cushion to provide comfort of the body wherever the support/pad is applied. The adjustable support can be made into a neck supporting pillow, or a cushion adapted to be removably attached to the back of a chair, to support the back of a seated user.
