Abstract
A pillow construction which enhances the transport of medication either from a medication-dispensing structure used in conjunction with the pillow, or from a separate source of medication, to a person or animal resting on the pillow. The pillow includes lengths of resilient tubing interposed between an inflated or stuffed inner layer and a gas-permeable covering layer. A gas or mixture of gases can be pumped into the tubes. The gas passes through openings in the tubes and through the permeable covering layer to expose the person or animal resting on the pillow to a stream of the gas or mixture of gases.
