Abstract

The pillow has the shape of a complete or partial ring and incorporates a neck support region (20) for supporting the user's neck when lying down and the head support region (21) for supporting the upper half of the head when lying down. The neck support region is adapted to support the user's neck at a height greater than the height at which the head support region supports the upper half of the user's head when the user is resting on the pillow.
