Abstract:
1. A pillow, comprising: four substantially identical fabric sections, arranged in registry and secured together around the peripheries thereof; a line of securement between the middle two of the four fabric sections in a center area of the pillow, defining an area which is substantially smaller than the diameter of a user's head, but large enough to provide a cradle effect therefor, leaving a boundary region for filling between the line of securement and the respective peripheral edges of the two fabric sections; and filling positioned between the middle two fabric sections, between the line of securement and the peripheral edges thereof, with relatively little or no filling in the center area between the middle two fabric sections, as well as filling positioned between an upper fabric section and one middle fabric section and filling between a lower fabric section and the other middle fabric section over the entire area of the pillow, wherein the pillow thereby has a shallow area in the center of the pillow, resulting from the relative lack of filling between the middle two fabric sections in the center area compared to the remainder of the pillow.
