a second pillow end opposite to the first pillow end;
a pillow length extending between the first pillow end and the second pillow end;
a pillow width perpendicular to the pillow length;
a pillow thickness perpendicular to the pillow length and perpendicular to the pillow width;
wherein the pillow width is greater than the pillow thickness at the first pillow end and the pillow thickness is greater than the pillow width at the second pillow end;
wherein the pillow width decreases in a monotonically decreasing trend from the pillow width of the first pillow end to the pillow width of the second pillow end; and
wherein the pillow thickness increases in a monotonically increasing trend from the pillow thickness of the first pillow end to the pillow thickness of the second pillow end.
2. The pillow of claim 1 , further comprising:
an intermediate pillow region between a first pillow end region that includes the first pillow end and a second pillow end region that includes the second pillow end, wherein the pillow width and the pillow thickness in the intermediate pillow region transitions from the pillow width and the pillow thickness at the first pillow end region to the pillow width and the pillow thickness at the second pillow end region.
3. The pillow of claim 2 , wherein the first pillow end region is configured to provide a tapered torso support region, and the second pillow end region is configured to provide a first head support region on a left side of the second pillow end region and a second head support region on a right side of the second pillow end region.
