Abstract:
1. A pillow of the type comprising a body ( 12 ) of elastically deformable material provided with a top side ( 14 ) upon which the head of a user (H) can be rested, and an underside ( 16 ) designed to be placed upon a pillow support, the top side ( 14 ) being connected to the underside ( 16 ) by at least one scapular side ( 18 A, 18 B), wherein the top side includes a recess, called the head receiving recess, that partially accommodates the head of the user, the scapular side ( 18 A, 18 B) being provided with a scapular cut-out ( 20 A, 20 B) that forms both an indentation for the cervical vertebrae of the user (H) when he is lying on his back, and an accommodating space for the shoulder of the user (H) when he is lying on his side, the top side includes a cervical gutter forming a cervical indentation extending between the head receiving recess and the scapular cut-out so as to prevent or at least limit contact between the neck of the user and the top side of the body, the body of deformable material includes an orifice, called the ear orifice, opening at one end into the head receiving recess and at the other into the underside, this ear orifice making it possible to prevent or at least limit the compression of the ear of the user in contact with the pillow when the user is lying on his side, the body is made of a composite material in such a way that that part of the body which forms the top side is relatively dense, and therefore suitable for the winter, and that part of the body which forms the underside is relatively aerated, and therefore suitable for the summer, and the overall shape of the body of deformable material is that of a prism.
