Spinal Alignment Pillow

Abstract

A pillow includes a torso cushion tapering from a top end to a bottom end. A torso support surface extends from the top end to the bottom end of the torso cushion. A back surface joins to the bottom end of the torso cushion at a first elevation angle between the back surface and the support surface. A head cushion attaches to the top end of the torso cushion. The head cushion includes a back surface joined to the back surface of the torso cushion, a first angled surface joined to the back surface of the head cushion at a second elevation angle, and a second angled surface joined to the back surface of the head cushion at a third elevation angle. The first angled surface and the second angled surface join to one another along a crest extending from the top end of said torso cushion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pillow, comprising:
 a torso cushion tapering from a maximum thickness at a top end to a bottom end, comprising:
 a torso support surface extending from said top end to said bottom end; and 
 a torso cushion end face joined to said torso support surface at said top end; 
   a head cushion joined to said torso cushion end face, comprising:
 a first angled surface joined to said torso cushion end face; and 
 a second angled surface joined to said torso cushion end face, 
   wherein said first angled surface and said second angled surface attach to one another along a crest coplanar with said torso support surface.   
     
     
         2 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein said head cushion and said torso cushion have a same width dimension. 
     
     
         3 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein a lateral edge of said head cushion is not coplanar with a lateral edge of said torso support surface. 
     
     
         4 . The pillow of  claim 3 , wherein said first angled surface on said head cushion is planar. 
     
     
         5 . The pillow of  claim 3 , wherein said second angled surface on said head cushion is planar. 
     
     
         6 . The pillow of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a back surface extending from said bottom end of said torso cushion to said top end of said head cushion;   a first cushion side joined to said back surface, to said torso support surface, to said first angled surface, and to said torso cushion end face; and   a second cushion side joined to said back surface, to said torso support surface, to said second angled surface, and to said torso cushion end face.   
     
     
         7 . The pillow of  claim 6 , further comprising a cushion side joined to said back surface, to said torso support surface, to said second angled surface, and to said torso cushion end face. 
     
     
         8 . The pillow of  claim 6 , wherein an acute angle between said torso support surface and said back surface is in a range from 10 degrees to 30 degrees. 
     
     
         9 . The pillow of  claim 8 , wherein said acute angle between said torso support surface and said back surface is 12 degrees. 
     
     
         10 . The pillow of  claim 6 , wherein an acute angle between said back surface and said torso cushion end face is in a range from 30 degrees to 90 degrees. 
     
     
         11 . The pillow of  claim 10 , wherein said acute angle between said back surface and said torso cushion end face is 45 degrees. 
     
     
         12 . The pillow of  claim 6 , wherein said torso support surface is joined to said first cushion side with a first radius near said top end of said torso cushion and a second radius near said bottom end of said torso cushion, wherein said first radius is larger than said second radius. 
     
     
         13 . The pillow of  claim 1 , further comprising a jaw support extending from said top end of said torso cushion toward a top end of said head cushion, wherein said jaw support comprises a top surface coplanar with said torso support surface. 
     
     
         14 . The pillow of  claim 13 , wherein said pillow is formed with an arcuate boundary between said torso support surface and said torso cushion end face, and said arcuate boundary extends from said jaw support to a side of said pillow joined to said back surface. 
     
     
         15 . The pillow of  claim 1 , wherein said torso cushion end face is formed with a curved surface.
