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 modular knee brace assembly includes a brace that is worn around a knee after orthopedic surgery has been performed on the knee. A wedge is removably coupled to the brace when the brace is worn around the knee. The wedge is positioned on a back side of the knee to support the knee in a bent position when the user is lying on the user's back. An inner knee support is removably coupled to the brace when the brace is worn around the knee. The inner knee support extends between each of the user's knees when the user lies on their side. An outer knee support is removably coupled to the brace when the brace is worn around the knee. In this way the outer knee support supports the knee when the user lies on the user's 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 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.

A framework spanning the lower end of a mattress and positioned to use overlying bedding materials for creation of an enclosed open space on the upper surface of the mattress for the free movement of feet and lower limbs of humans. The controlled environment within this space provides ample surface area to allow healthful movement of air currents, heat and humidity and thus enable unrestrained natural radiation of body heat through the feet of sleeper(s) encouraging the beneficial outcomes of nocturnal circadian rhythms. With comfort and convenience as high priorities, this bedding accessory is designed for long-term use in therapeutic and household settings.

An ergonomic body pillow includes a substantially cuboid portion joined to a substantially cylindrical portion. The diameter of the cylindrical portion is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cuboid portion. The substantially cuboid portion is firmer than the cylindrical portion. The body pillow keeps the body in a neutral position while side-sleeping.

A leg pillow having an upper edge and lower edge and two convex curved side edges, wherein a recess is defined in the middle of the leg pillow. The leg pillow also includes leg support indentations at the upper edge. The leg support indentations are on both the top and bottom side of the leg pillow to provide support and proper body alignment for side sleeping individuals.

A pillow case for making a pillow assembly usable as an adult body pillow. The pillow case comprises an elongate fabric enclosure sized to receive two king-size pillows or three standard or queen-size pillows of the user's choice. One or more pockets are provided on one or both sides of the pillow case adjacent one or both of the ends of the pillow case. When the pillow assembly is used as a head or back pillow, the pockets can hold books, phones, facial tissues, medications, and the like, within ready reach. Each of the pockets is positioned so that the opening of the pocket extends along one of the long edges of the pillow case. In this way, when the pillow assembly is used as a body pillow, the pockets can also receive the user's hand and or foot.

A leg pillow is provided that includes a pad having a band or a strap connected thereto. The band allows the pillow to be secured to the user's leg. The pillow can be worn by a user during sleep or at other times, and aids in reducing heat loss in the user's legs and separating the user's legs, which improve circulation and reduce joint pain.
