THERAPEUTIC CUSHION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Apparatus and methods for providing therapeutic treatment for symptoms associated with GERD and/or other digestive disorders and/or other medical conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a support element and a conformable riser element adjacent the support element. The riser element and the support element collectively form a body support member configured to support a user and define a receiving portion configured to receive a portion of the user's arm. The riser element and the support element are each disposed within a casing formed at least in part with a stretch material. In some embodiments, the riser element includes a polyester filler material and the stretch material includes a four-way stretch material. The four-way stretch material in combination with the polyester filler material enables the riser element to be conformable.

Foot Ledge
The present invention is a foot ledge that, in some aspects, allows a user to hold a foot or heel at a generally fixed position nearer to their body's core. Some embodiments of the invention include a cover, housing a slidably received ledge and end cap assembly that provides a surface for a user's foot or heel. In some examples, a user's body weight can be used to provide the stability needed to use the device and keep the ledge in a relatively stable position. In other examples, hooks or straps can be used to keep the device in place, allowing a user to position themselves at will relative to the foot ledge,
BODY SUPPORT PILLOW
A body support pillow design having a top head pillow with a pillowcase that preferably includes a head pillow insert. The two bottom corners of connect to four total side pillows comprising two side arm pillows and two side leg pillows. Individual corners of the side pillows are attached by connecting joints with each body length side divided into two preferably even, separate parts extending longitudinally that can move with flexibility to be positioned for optimal comfort between the user's arms and legs when laying down in a left or right-side position.
The body support pillow may be assembled into a compact, attractive unit for easy storage, display and travel purposes. Thus, a considerably more versatile full body support pillow with a variety of functional uses is provided that can be used to deliver cooler sleeping conditions during warmer weather, and with users who sleep warmer year-round and during pregnancy.

Reconfigurable sofa
A sofa (10) includes a sofa base (13) and an addition (14) coupled to the sofa base. The sofa base has a seating area (18) between two end armrests (19) which includes spacing for back cushions (20), seat cushions (21), and an empty seating space (22). The addition has an L-shaped addition base (24) and a U-shaped addition cushion (25). The addition base has an inside corner (28) configured to nest the front corner of the sofa base. The U-shaped addition cushion is positioned upon the L-shaped addition base and a portion of the base seating area which could be occupied by a seat seating space. Thus, the addition cushion completely covers the addition base and the empty seating space or portion of the seating area directly adjacent the armrest which is surrounded by the addition cushion on three sides.
