A cervical pillow and a method of making the pillow comprising a pillow casing a pillow-filling and a cervical support member disposed therein, the pillow-filling forming a head support region and the cervical support member forming a neck support region wherein the neck support region has a greater compression resiliency than the head support region allowing the neck support region to resist against compression and remain a viable source for supporting a user's neck as the head support region compressively supports the user's head thereon. The cervical support member comprises a cylindrical shaped body having tapering ends, and is retained in the pillow casing in a position spaced from the side edges of the pillow.
