Neck and back pain relieving pillow

Abstract

A substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly for a user and a method for using the same to relieve neck pain of the user. The pillow includes a fabric outer surface assembly circumscribing a compressible inner portion. Two compressible and substantially cylindrical foam tube assemblies are parallelly disposed within the compressible inner portion, the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly having differing pliability to optimally support the user's neck. A depressed portion of the compressible inner portion is laterally disposed between the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and is designed to support the user's head.

1 . A substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly comprising:
 a fabric outer surface assembly circumscribing a compressible inner portion;   two compressible and substantially cylindrical foam tube assemblies parallelly disposed within the compressible inner portion, the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly having differing pliability adapted to support the user's neck; and   a depressed portion of the compressible inner portion laterally disposed between the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly adapted to support the user's head.   
     
     
         2 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compressible inner portion is a poly fill. 
     
     
         3 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compressible inner portion is a down fill. 
     
     
         4 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 3  wherein the down fill is substantially six ounces. 
     
     
         5 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compressible inner portion is a memory foam. 
     
     
         6 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compressible inner portion is at least partially air wherein inner air pressure at least partially determines the degree of compressibility. 
     
     
         7 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein a cover fabric comprises a synthetic fiber. 
     
     
         8 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 7  wherein the synthetic fiber is anti-microbial. 
     
     
         9 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the depressed portion of the compressible inner portion laterally disposed between the cylindrical foam tube assemblies is further a central cavity portion adapted to limit lateral movement of a user's head. 
     
     
         10 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 9  wherein the central cavity portion of the depressed portion is substantially four and a half to seven inches in diameter. 
     
     
         11 . The substantially planar therapeutic pillow assembly of  claim 1  wherein the fabric outer surface assembly is interchangeable. 
     
     
         12 . A method for mitigating neck pain for a user comprising the steps of:
 providing a fabric outer surface cover;   inserting into fabric cover two compressible and substantially cylindrical foam tube assemblies parallelly disposed within a compressible inner portion circumscribed by the fabric outer surface cover, the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly having differing pliability adapted to optimally support the user's neck; and   aligning a depressed portion of the compressible inner portion laterally disposed between the first substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly and the second substantially cylindrical foam tube assembly to support a user's head in a substantially horizontal state thereby aligning a user's spine.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 13  wherein a memory foam of the compressible inner portion further supports the user's head in a substantially horizontal state aligning the user's spine. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein a central cavity portion of the depressed portion of the compressible inner portion is laterally disposed between the cylindrical foam tube assemblies and aligned to limit lateral movement of the user's head to further support the user's head in a substantially horizontal state aligning the user's spine. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the depressed portion of the compressible inner portion adapted to limit lateral movement of the user's head is substantially four and a half to seven inches in diameter. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the central cavity portion is at least partially filled with air wherein inner air pressure further optimizes compressibility as defined by a user.
