A spine support apparatus for dynamic stabilization of a user's spine is provided. The apparatus an elongated base positioned in a sagittal plane; a plurality of variable spine support elements coupled to the base and spaced apart from one another to define a spine receiver to stabilize the user's spine, the spine support elements having a first spherical transverse protrusion; and a second spherical transverse protrusion spaced apart on its coronal plane by a valley, the valley being configured to receive any one of a neck vertebrae, a thoracic spine, or a lumbar spine; wherein the plurality of variable spine support elements are dimensioned with varying thickness on their transverse plane to correspond with the user's lordotic curve. A chair utilizing the apparatus and method of use are also provided herein.

Methods and apparatus are provided for a vehicle seat with a convertible seat back. In one embodiment the seat back has a seat back cushion with left and right spaced apart side portions and a lower lumbar portion, with a center cushion disposed in a first position between the side portions and above the lumbar portion of the seat back cushion. The center cushion has a lower end attached to the seat back, a back side facing the seat back, and a front side facing away from the seat back. The center cushion is configured to be moveable from the first position to a second position in which the upper end is proximate a lower end of the seat back, and the front side is facing a front side of a lumbar portion of the seat back cushion.

In accordance with at least one embodiment, an adjustable head and neck system comprises a locking upright brace and a forehead support. The forehead support is coupled to the locking upright brace. The forehead support is configurable to support a user's forehead.

A husband pillow comprises a central support pillow, at least two arm support members, and a neck support member. The central support pillow comprises a front, a rear, a top, and a bottom surface. The front surface is configured to contact the back of the user and conform to the back of the user. The arm support members extend our and are positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the central support pillow to support arms of the user. Storage compartments are configured on the arm support members and the central support pillow for storing one or more objects. The neck support member is detachably attached to a top surface of the central support pillow to support a neck of the user. The central support pillow, the arm support members, and the neck support member ergonomically support the back, the neck, and the arms of the user respectively.

An adjustable head support includes an articulating arm that has a plurality of members, at least one of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a first axis. At least another of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular. A head support assembly is pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.

A headrest comprising an external surface surrounding an interior and a deployable neck support including: a non-deployed position wherein the deployable neck support is disposed in the interior; and a deployed position wherein the deployable neck support extends out of the interior and is configured to support a neck of an occupant of a seating assembly incorporating the headrest. The headrest includes a housing disposed in the interior. In the non-deployed position, the deployable neck support is housed within the housing. In the deployed position, a primary neck support section of the deployable neck support extends out of the housing. The deployable neck support can further include an inboard lateral neck support and an outboard lateral neck support, each having an enclosed position and an extended position. In the enclosed position, the inboard lateral neck support and outboard lateral neck support are housed within the primary neck support section.

A linear actuating assembly for a headrest having a fixed portion and a moveable portion configured to support a user's head. The linear actuating assembly comprising a stator fixedly connectable to the fixed portion of the headrest, a rotor circumferentially surrounding the stator, a shaft extending axially through the stator and the rotor, and a nut connected to a threaded portion of the shaft and fixedly connectable to the moveable portion of the headrest. The shaft is fixedly connected to Rotation of the rotor causes linear movement of the nut along the threaded portion of the shaft, thereby moving the moveable portion of the headrest relative to the fixed portion of the headrest.
