Adjustable contour pillow

An adjustable contour pillow provides for the manual or powered inflation of the chamber or chambers therein, as well as other alternative features such as heat, massage, and/or cooling, and is particularly valuable to persons suffering from neck strain. In one embodiment, the pillow includes three separate laterally disposed elongate fluid chambers, each having a coplanar lower wall. The central chamber has a center and an upper wall which is lower than the centers and upper walls of the other two chambers, thus defining an elongate valley extending from one end to the other of the pillow. The valley serves to cradle the back of the head, with the uppermost chamber (relative to the user) cradling the upper back of the head and the lowermost chamber supporting the back of the neck of a supine person. The selective and independent inflation of the different chambers may be accomplished manually, or by an automated powered pump arrangement. The control system may be integrated with the pillow, or may alternatively be supplied as a separate control for a pillow having one or more inflatable chambers therein.
