Abstract
A cushion designed to support the head and neck while the user is seated in a high-backed chair, passenger seat or hospital bed. The contour of the back of an average individual's head and neck is formed into the cushion, which is embodied in a medium firm enough to be the object of such forming and provide support, yet soft and pliable enough to adapt to the particular contour of the back of the head and neck of a particular individual. A tubular stretch-knit sleeve, open at two ends, for covering any part of a crescent- or horseshoe-shaped cushion which touches the skin or hair. An inflatable embodiment of the above head and neck support cushion made from a pre-formed vinyl upper half and a flat vinyl lower half, equipped with a valve and sealed. The use of tiny weights in the tips of an inflatable, horseshoe- or crescent-shaped cushion to balance the cushion on the shoulders without resort to wide lateral support wings or a snug fit.
