To provide a pillow capable of stably supporting a head by reducing a complicated distortion wherein, so as to obtain a healthy sleep, the pillow and a mat are superposed so as to create a proper posture on one's back by use of the pillow and to hold the posture for a prescribed time.

The problem of the invention is solved by a method of supporting while distributing local pressure by dividing the configuration of a pillow into two portions, a portion of a rigid base having a basic role and a portion of a cushion contacting a head 5 by placing it on the base, and by forming the portion of the base in a shape supporting the head 5 by a slant face wherein the neck side is high and the head top side is low. Since there are many persons raising the upper body when using the pillow, the height of the portion of the base and the angle of the slant face can be adjusted, so that the pillow can be utilized correspondingly to wide use.
