An inflatable pillow that is of low cost, thus disposable. The inflatable pillow taught is one fabricated from very low cost materials and of a very low cost fabrication process resulting in a disposable inflatable pillow. The present invention teaches a user comforted seam, the seam either placing the seam allowance within the gas enclosure or finished such as by rolling. The pillow is fabricated by an assembly process of bonding a section of the perimeter seal, inverting the inflatable pillow, then bonding the remaining seams. A sealable valve is assembled prior to the bonding of the final seams. Artwork can be added for a number of desires including advertising.

I claim: 1. An inflatable pillow, the pillow comprising: an upper gas impervious sheet, a lower gas impervious sheet, an inflatable pillow at least partially fabricated by creating a gas impervious bond between said upper gas impervious sheet and said lower gas impervious sheet and utilizing a self-sealing valve for filling said inflatable pillow; said gas impervious bond creating a gas capturing enclosure providing a shape of the inflatable pillow and accessible via said sealable valve, wherein said gas impervious bond creates a seam allowance, wherein at least a portion of said seam allowance is positioned within said gas capturing enclosure, at least one accupoint protrusion, wherein said accupoint protrusion is located proximate an area respective to at least one side of the occipital ridge and situated along said gas impervious bond and between opposing ends of a substantially contoured portion of said gas impervious bond, and wherein said self-sealing valve is located alone a section of seam allowance external to said gas capturing enclosure. 2. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, the at least one gas impervious shoat is a polyethylene material comprising a smooth plastic side and a fibrous woven softer side. 3. The inflatable pillow of claim 2 wherein said fibrous woven softer side of said polyethylene material is positioned to contact the user. 4. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, wherein said inflatable pillow further comprising a seam allowance wherein at least a portion of the seam allowance proximate anticipated contact points with a user is positioned within said gas capturing enclosure, said seam allowance further comprising at least one of: a) trimmed proximate a corner of the gas capturing enclosure, and b) slits proximate a curved section of the seam allowance of the gas capturing enclosure. 5. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, the sealable valve is a self-sealing design. 6. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, the sealable valve is at least one of: a) bead and channel b) pop out with flip insert seal c) pop out with flip insert seal uni-directional flow valve. 7. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, said shape of said inflatable pillow comprising a shape from the shape group consisting of: a) a square, b) a rectangle, C) "C" shaped, d) Kidney shaped, e) "L" shaped, f) Tubular, g) Oval, h) and i) Circular. 8. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, wherein said inflatable pillow further comprising a seam allowance wherein at least a portion of said seam allowance proximate anticipated contact points with a user is positioned within said gas capturing enclosure. 9. The inflatable pillow of claim 1, the inflatable pillow further comprising artwork on the inflatable pillow, wherein said artwork is at least one of a company logo and an advertisement. 10. An inflatable pillow, the pillow comprising: an upper gas impervious sheet, a lower gas impervious sheet, an inflatable pillow at least partially fabricated by creating a gas impervious bond between said an upper gas impervious sheet and said lower gas impervious sheet and utilizing a self-sealing valve for filling; said self-sealing valve comprising: an upper self-sealing valve section bonded to said upper gas impervious sheet via a gas impervious bond; a lower self-sealing valve section bonded to said lower gas impervious sheet via a gas impervious bond; and a gas entrance valve opening in said self-sealing valve proximate an edge of each impervious sheet; a gas exit valve opening in said self-sealing valve opposing said edge of each impervious sheet; wherein self-sealing valve is formed by a taper and said gas entrance valve opening is larger than said gas exit valve opening; a gas impervious bond to create a gas capturing enclosure providing a shape of the inflatable pillow and is accessible via said self-sealing valve wherein said gas impervious bona creates a seam allowance, wherein at least a portion of said seam allowance is positioned within said gas capturing enclosure, and wherein said self-sealing valve is located alone a section of wherein said seam allowance is external to said gas capturing enclosure. 11. The inflatable pillow of claim 10, wherein said upper gas impervious sheet comprises a fibrous soft woven side, wherein said inflatable pillow is fabricated with said fibrous soft woven side positioned on the contact side of said inflatable pillow. 12. The inflatable pillow of claim 10, wherein said lower gas impervious sheet comprises a fibrous soft woven side, wherein said inflatable pillow is fabricated with said fibrous soft woven side positioned on the contact side of said inflatable pillow. 13. The inflatable pillow of claim 10 said shape of said inflatable pillow being a shape from the shape group consisting of: j) a square, k) a rectangle, l) "C" shaped, m) Kidney shaped, n) "L" shaped, o) Tubular, p) Oval, q) and r) Circular. 14. The inflatable pillow of claim 10, said shape of said inflatable pillow further comprising at least one accupoint protrusion, wherein said accupoint protrusion is located proximate an area respective to at least one side of the occipital ridge. 15. The inflatable pillow of claim 10, the inflatable pillow further comprising artwork on the inflatable pillow, wherein said artwork is at least one of a company logo and an advertisement. 16. An inflatable pillow, the pillow comprising: an upper gas impervious sheet, a lower gas impervious sheet, an inflatable pillow at least partially fabricated by creating a gas impervious bond between said an upper gas impervious sheet and said lower gas impervious sheet, a self-sealing valve for filling said inflatable pillow located along a section of said gas impervious bond; at least one accupoint protrusion, wherein said accupoint protrusion is located proximate an area respective to at least one side of the occipital ridge and situated along one of said gas impervious sheets and between opposing ends of a substantially contoured portion of one of said gas impervious sheets, and at least one of a vibrating device and a vibrating device pocket coupled to said inflatable pillow, wherein said vibrating device pocket is designed to contain a removable vibrating device and wherein said vibrating device is configured to transmit vibrations through said at least one accupoint protrusion. 17. The inflatable pillow of claim 16, said shape of said inflatable pillow further comprising at least one protrusion for applying focused pressure to a specific point on the user, wherein said at least one of said vibrating device and said vibrating device pocket is positioned proximate said at least one protrusion. 18. The inflatable pillow of claim 16, the inflatable pillow further comprising artwork on the inflatable pillow, wherein said artwork is at least one of a company logo and an advertisement. 19. The inflatable pillow of claim 16, wherein at least one of said upper gas impervious sheet and said lower gas impervious sheet comprises a fibrous soft woven side, wherein said inflatable pillow is fabricated with said fibrous soft woven side positioned on the contact side of said inflatable pillow. 20. The inflatable pillow of claim 16, wherein said self-sealing valve comprising: an upper self-sealing valve section bonded to said upper gas impervious sheet via a gas impervious bond; a lower self-sealing valve section bonded to said lower gas Impervious sheet via a gas impervious bond; and a gas entrance valve opening in said se self-sealing valve proximate an edge of each impervious sheet; and a gas exit valve opening in said seal self-sealing able valve opposing said edge of each impervious sheet, wherein self-sealing valve is formed by a taper and said gas entrance valve opening is larger than said gas exit valve opening.
