Abstract

The present invention pertains to a multi-position cervical pillow and an adjustable pillow set thereof to support a user's head and neck. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-position cervical pillow comprises a rectangular memory foam pad, the transversal cross section of which is bone-shaped with two lobes protruded towards two opposite lateral ends and a shallow trough in between forming a concave head support portion on each of the two support surfaces; said two lobes are different in size and asymmetrical in shape. By inverting and reversing the pillow pad it provides four unique positions. An adjustable pillow set comprises a main multi-position cervical pillow and an unattached ancillary pillow, the upper surface of the latter has a transversally convex, asymmetrical curvature for the main pillow to stack and slide on top of it, forming four stacking configurations, with each providing two unique positions.
