Abstract: A hand-supported headrest pillow for providing a convenient and compact headrest. The pillow includes a cushion dimensioned for seating about the palm of a user's hand. A strap attached to the cushion is provided for securing the cushion to and against a user's palm so that, when so-positioned, the user's head can be rested against the cushion. In an alternate embodiment, the strap is replaced by one or more sleeves or sheaths for accommodating insertion of one or more of the user's fingers to secure the cushion to and against the user's hand.
