Claims

1. An adjustable neck support pillow comprising:

a first layer having a first, contoured surface and a second surface having at least one cavity extending along a length dimension of the first layer; and

a second layer having a first surface having at least one projection that fittingly and removably engages the at least one cavity of the first layer and having a second surface having at least one cavity extending along a length dimension of the second layer.

2. An adjustable neck support pillow comprising:

a first layer having a first, contoured surface and a second surface having at least one cavity extending along a length dimension of the first layer; and

a second layer having a first surface having at least one projection that fittingly and removably engages the at least one cavity of the first layer;

a second surface on said second layer, said second surface opposite said first surface of said second layer; and

at least one lower layer, where each of the second and lower layers have opposite surfaces and combinations of conduits or projections on either said opposite surface.

3. An adjustable neck support pillow comprising:

a first layer having a first, contoured surface and a second surface having at least one cavity extending along a length dimension of the first layer; and

a second layer having a first surface having at least one projection that fittingly and removably engages the at least one cavity of the first layer;

a second surface on said second layer, said second surface opposite said first surface of said second layer; and

at least one lower layer;

a means of attaching one layer to another in varying combinations in order to provide a unitary functional unit where said means consists of a projection and conduit; and

where each of the second and lower layers has opposite surfaces and combinations of conduits or projections on either said opposite surface where the first layer has either projection or conduits on only one surface.
