cervical pillow
Contoured sleep cushion
A cervical pillow is a pillow contoured to support the neck and maintain proper spinal alignment during sleep.
The shape typically features a curved ridge where the neck rests and a depression for the head: My physical therapist recommended a cervical pillow for my neck pain.
Cervical here refers to the cervical spine—the neck vertebrae—not the cervix.
