The pillow consists of a large, firm but soft object comprising about 1.5 cubic feet, sized and shaped to fit on the food service tray available with any airline seat, and includes a platform for placing a typical airline pillow on top. |

A wrist rest (1) of specially designed height and other characteristics is provided for reducing strain on the wrists and hands of a keyboard operator or a similar user of computer accessories. The rest (1) is made to be placed in front of the keyboard or accessory being used, and may be designed to have a particular firmness for comfort.
