Abstract:
An improved head and neck support couples to an upper back edge of a chair. In a preferred embodiment, the support couples to an upper back edge of a reclining salon chair. The improved support comprises a rigid inner clamping means, an inner filling of compressible memory material, all enclosed by an outer covering with a sufficiently high coefficient of friction to grip the front and the back of an upper back of the chair under the weight of a user's head as the user reclines in the chair. The composite filled support further comprises an upper portion, and a lower portion, said lower portion defining a groove along the length of the support, into which an upper back edge of a reclining salon chair may be wedged by friction fit.
