Abstract: A generally square or rectangular multiple firmness pillow includes a relatively firmer fill material placed toward one diagonal corner thereof. The multiple firmness pillow may be used in pairs with the portions of firmer fill material facing one another and separated by a small distance to provide support for the face of a person sleeping or resting in the prone position, and support the face and head above the underlying surface to provide a breathing space for the face-down person. The present pillows may be filled with loose fill materials of different firmnesses, such as shredded foams, synthetic fibers and feathers, with an internal divider separating the two fill materials, or may be filled using molded resilient foam materials molded or cut as a single cohesive unit.

Abstract: A sectioned pillow having two pillow covers, which are connected by a fabric tether, inner pillows, and a decorative pillow case for each of the tethered inner pillow covers. The tether prevents separation of the two pillows beyond a predetermined maximum distance. The space created between the two pillows provides a cradle for the head in a supine sleeping position. In a prone sleeping position, the space between the two pillows acts as an air channel allowing for the free flow of air to and from the sleeper's nose.
