The present invention relates to a head support for supporting a patient's head while the patient is in a prone position. The head support comprises a body of compliant material whose shape provides a forehead support region, at least one further support region for supporting a lower portion of the patient's face, and a void which accommodates the patient's eyes, nose and mouth in use. According to one aspect of the invention, a viewing opening is provided which faces laterally and provides in use a line of sight from the exterior of the head support into the void, the viewing opening having a periphery which is an unbroken loop.

A pillow for inserting between breasts is provided which includes at least one rounded top portion, at least one concave middle portion, and a rounded bottom portion. The rounded top portion and said rounded bottom portion of the pillow are each wider than the concave middle portion. Additionally, the rounded top portion, rounded bottom portion and concave middle portion are made of an outer fabric material stuffed with one or more stuffing material to provide a firm but not rigid pillow. The inventive pillow provides for a washable, supportive, anatomically correct, shape contouring, aesthetically pleasing, anti-wrinkle bra sleeping pillow which provides adequate comfort and support for the user. The unique shape and as well as breathable fabric is intended to fit snugly in between and support the breasts while laying on side.

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 that has a first end portion and a second end portion and a top surface disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the support element. The second end portion has a height greater than the first end portion. A riser element is configured to be coupled proximate to the second end portion of the support element. A body element is configured to be disposed on at least one of the support element or the riser element. The body element has a first arm and a second arm connected together by an arc portion.

A portable cushion system includes a superior cushion section configured for placement under the user's head and upper torso, a midsection cushion section configured for placement under the user's seat and lower back, a proximal inferior cushion section configured for placement under the user's upper legs, a distal inferior cushion section configured for placement under the user's lower legs, two straps coupled on one end to the superior cushion section, two fastener terminals located on the distal inferior cushion section, and configured for fastening to the straps, and wherein when the superior, midsection, proximal inferior, and distal inferior cushion sections are folded, the straps are configured for use as shoulder straps for securing and transporting the system.

A pillow which having a pillow user's most comfortable height and shape and which he can provide a comfortable sleep with a relaxed posture. The pillow has a first pillow section and a second pillow section joined at an angle that is between 75 and 105 degrees. A fold directing section is provided diagonally between an inner intersection and an outer intersection between the first pillow section and second pillow section.

A knee cushion is disclosed which includes an integral foam member having a first major surface, an oppositely aligned second major surface, at least one side wall joining the first major surface to the second major surface. Leg depressions are formed in both the first and second major surfaces. The leg depressions are arranged in the shape of a modified peace symbol. The leg depressions permit a person to position the knee cushion between their knees while sleeping on their side to assist in aligning their hips and for keeping their spine straight. The integral foam member also includes a circular depression located in a central portion of the modified peace symbol on both the first and second major surfaces. Lastly the integral foam member has an Indentation Force Deflection at 25% of from between about 8 pounds-force to about 18 pounds-force.

The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed apparatus, in particular an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation includes independently adjustable lumbar and/or neck support structures on an adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation. In some embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include inflatable air bladder structures. In other embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include mechanically actuatable subsections of the adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation.

Bed base and bed provided with the bed base, wherein the bed base is provided with massaging apparatuses having slats which are placed one after the other and which define a support plane for a mattress, wherein the massaging apparatuses include a first drive which activates a first series of slats for a massaging action and a second drive which activates a second series of slats for a massaging action.

The invention provides an adjustable bed comprising a frame (20) and at least one adjustable body support section including at least an adjustable backrest support section (12) pivotally mounted for angular adjustment with respect to the frame. The frame comprises at least two hinged sections (20a, 20b) including a head end sub-assembly configured as an upper body supporting section on which the backrest support section is mounted, and a separate toe end sub-assembly configured as a lower body supporting section hinged with respect to the upper body supporting section. Actuator means (40) is disposed within at least the upper body section for angular adjustment of the adjustable body support section. The head end sub-assembly and the toe end sub-assembly are capable of being folded together to reduce the length dimension of the bed for transportation and/or storage purposes and subsequently unfolded to provide a full length adjustable bed.
