Claim:
An adjustable air pillow for obtaining the proper alignment of the individual's head, neck and spine, comprising: a single, pliable and deformable, generally rectangularly shaped air bladder enclosing an air chamber that holds a given volume of air; a padding removably attachable to the air bladder surrounding and conforming to the air bladder the padding being approximately three inches thick; the padding including a recessed concave upper surface for supporting thereon the head and neck of the individual and a flat bottom surface; air inlet means in registration with the air bladder for discharging air into the air chamber and evacuating air from the air chamber; an air pump interconnected to the air inlet means for directing air through the air inlet means into the air chamber and evacuating air from the air chamber; and a manually operable control means interconnected to the air pump for selectively discharging air into the air chamber for inflating the air bladder and increasing the height and firmness of the air pillow and for selectively evacuating air from the air chamber deflating the air bladder and thus decreasing the height and firmness of the air pillow whereupon the inflation and deflation of the air bladder allows for the adjustment of the air pillow to obtain the proper alignment of the individual's head, neck and spine.
