Abstract: An oxygen delivery pillow includes a shaped cushion, an oxygen delivery system, and a cover. The shaped cushion includes a top surface with a recess that can receive a subject's head. The oxygen delivery system delivers oxygen to the recess. When oxygen is delivered to the recess, it collects within an open space and then passes through the cover to a location around the subject's head on the cover and partially in the recess where it can be readily inhaled by the subject.
