Therapeutic support pillow

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a pillow including a top layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer. The top layer includes a front neck supporting buttress, a back neck supporting buttress and a cavity connecting the front neck supporting buttress and the back neck supporting buttress. The cavity is configured to accommodate a facial mask. The middle layer is connectable to the top layer and includes at least two inserts. Removal of at least one of the inserts provides for customized angulations of the pillow. The bottom layer is connectable to one of the top layer or the middle layer.

1 . A pillow, comprising:
 a top layer including a front neck supporting buttress, a back neck supporting buttress and a plurality of lateral cavities connecting the front neck supporting buttress and the back neck supporting buttress along a plane substantially perpendicular to the breadth of the pillow and thus being configured to accommodate a facial mask;   at least one middle layer connectable and temporarily affixed to at least the top layer and including at least two inserts, wherein removal of at least one of the inserts allowing the top and bottom layers to become affixed by an interlocking means and thereby provides for customized angulations of the pillow; and   a bottom layer connectable to one of the top layer or the at least one middle layer.   
     
     
         2 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of a contour of the back neck supporting buttress is about half an inch larger than a diameter of a contour of the front neck supporting buttress. 
     
     
         3 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one middle layer is used to increase a height of the pillow. 
     
     
         4 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein a height of the pillow is customizable by removal of at least one of the middle layer and the bottom layer or part thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein an angle of the front neck supporting buttress and the back neck supporting buttress is customizable by removal of at least one insert of the at least one middle layer. 
     
     
         6 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein each of the top layer, at least one middle layer, and bottom layer is extended to provide a stabilizing strut to increase surface contact between the pillow and a surface on which the pillow is placed. 
     
     
         7 . The pillow of  claim 6 , wherein the stabilizing strut is attachable to one of the front neck supporting buttress or the back neck supporting buttress. 
     
     
         8 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the cavity further includes at least one concave bridge to support a head of a user and ribbing between multiple concave bridges, between a first concave bridge and the front neck supporting buttress, and between a last concave bridge and the back neck supporting buttress. 
     
     
         9 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein each insert of the at least one middle layer includes an extension that is connectable to a corresponding opening in the bottom of the top layer. 
     
     
         10 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein bottom layer includes extensions, each of which is connectable to a corresponding opening in one of the top layer or the at least one middle layer. 
     
     
         11 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein each of the back neck supporting buttress or the front neck supporting buttress is for supporting the neck of a user. 
     
     
         12 . A pillow, comprising:
 a top layer including a front neck supporting buttress, a back neck supporting buttress and a plurality of lateral cavities connecting the front neck supporting buttress and the back neck supporting buttress along a plane substantially perpendicular to the breadth of the pillow and thus being configured to accommodate a facial mask; and   a bottom layer connectable to the top layer,   wherein at least one angulation insert includes an extension which is inserted in an opening in the bottom of the top layer and an extension of the bottom layer is inserted in an opening in the bottom of the at least one angulation insert thereby affixing the at least one angulation insert to both the top and bottom layers to resist the angulation insert from being freely dislodged, the at least one angulation insert being configured to customized angulation of the pillow.   
     
     
         13 . A pillow, comprising:
 a top layer including a front neck supporting buttress, a back neck supporting buttress and a plurality of lateral cavities connecting the front neck supporting buttress and the back neck supporting buttress along a plane substantially perpendicular to the breadth of the pillow and thus being configured to accommodate a facial mask;   wherein at least one angulation insert is inserted in an opening in the bottom of the top layer, the at least one angulation insert being configured to customized angulation of the pillow.
