A pillow of resilient material has a generally rotatable portion (cervical roll) for supporting the cervical region of a user. With a user\s neck received across the pillow cervical roll and the user\s head received on the pillow, rotation of the cervical roll in conjunction with collapse of angled chambers defined within the resilient pillow establishes traction in the cervical region of the user. Once its internal chambers are essentially fully collapsed, the pillow provides a generally continuous support medium for optimized resilient support of the user\s neck and head, while maintaining a degree of cervical region traction with natural cervical curvature achieved through curved support of the user\s cervical region across the cervical roll of the pillow.

A traction pillow, comprising: a generally integral body of resilient material having a substantially solid cervical roll means situated generally along one side edge of said body; and a plurality of collapsible chamber means defined within said body by angled, opposing walls which are directed generally towards another side edge of said body which is situated opposite said one side edge thereof, said chamber means being situated generally outside of said cervical roll means; wherein said cervical roll means and said chamber means functionally respond to receipt of a patient\s head on said pillow with the cervical region of such patient received across said cervical roll means, in conjunction with manipulation of said cervical roll means for rotation towards said chamber means, for collapsing said chamber means, generally in a direction away from said cervical roll means, so that said opposing walls contact one another for substantially continuous resilient support of a patient\s head, and further for inducing a degree of traction outwardly along such patient\s spine while generally maintaining a normal cervical curve of the patient.
