Abstract
Abstract A pillow unit for the head of a passenger in a vehicle seat is attached to the back of the seat and supports the head of the passenger and includes a base member or sheet attached to the seat with a pillow extending outwardly from the back a sufficient distance and at proper angle to support the head in a comfortable position. The base sheet is attached to the seat back by a lower elastic strap and by upper patches of Velcro or similar material which cooperate with other patches of Velcro on the seat back. In a preferred form, the pillow includes a cover and a removable pillow insert which can be removed for cleaning purposes.
