Abstract
Abstract A pillow unit that may be readily draped over the top of a chair back to enable a user to rest his head against the pillow for relaxation or drowsing purposes. The unit is formed of a flexible sheet of fabric material and fitted with one or more pairs of spaced pillow sections projecting from the face side of the fabric. Preferably the unit is formed with two pairs of pillow sections so that the fabric may be draped over the top of a chair back, with the pair of pillow sections of the fabric on the face side of the chair back balanced by the weight of the pair of pillow sections on the fabric lying on the back of the chair back.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A pillow unit that may be draped over a chair back to serve as a headrest, comprising a flexible sheet fitted with a pair of padded bolster sections that project beyond a first side of aid sheet, with the opposed second side of said sheet being a generally flat surface with the sheet in a draped mode, in which the bolster sections are spaced apart by a distance that permits each bolster to contact the head of a user resting against both bolsters. said sheet fitted with two pairs of said spaced bolster sections mounted on the said first side of the sheet so that each pair of bolster sections balance the other when the mid-section of the sheet is draped over the back of a chair, with each pair of bolster sections mounted at opposed end sections of the sheet, so that either pair of said bolster sections are alternately useable as head rests, dependent upon the orientation of the sheet when draped over the back of a chair.
