Claim:
A pillow for side sleeping having a top, a bottom and sides, and four ends for the reduction of lower lumbar and cervical pain comprising: a series of foam layers having an uppermost layer, a middle layer and a base layer, each layer laminated to an adjacent layer and each layer having a different ILD rating; and, a top surface further comprising: i) an uppermost region built up from the series of foam layers defining a level plateau for positioning under, and at least partially within the axilla, and bounded on three sides by the ends of the pillow; and, ii) a lowermost substantially planar region of lesser thickness than the plateau built up from the series of foam layers, and bounded on three sides by the ends of the pillow; and, iii) a middle region adjacent the uppermost region and abutting a side of the lowermost region, defined by a declination from the plateau transitioning to the region of lesser thickness; and, the entire pillow sized for placement beneath a side-sleeper wherein at least two ends are bounded by the side-sleeper's pelvis and shoulder for overall alignment of the spinal column and wherein the lowermost region resides under the ribcage.
