A cushion includes a first cushion portion, a second cushion portion, and a connecting portion interconnecting the first cushion portion and the second cushion portion such that the first cushion portion and the second cushion portion are brought to an open position to unfold the cushion. The first cushion portion and the second cushion are movable to a closed position to fold the cushion along the connecting portion into a generally rectangular parallelepiped. The connecting portion is provided along one corner of the generally rectangular parallelepiped and interconnects one end of a first surface of the first cushion portion and one end of a first surface of the second cushion portion. An inclining surface of the first cushion portion and an inclining surface of the second cushion portion are both planar surfaces.

An arm rest apparatus, according to one embodiment, may comprise: a fixed part fixed to an external object; a horizontal movement module having one end rotatably connected to the fixed part and the other end having two-translational-degree-of-freedom movement with respect to the fixed part; and an arm support module installed to have two rotational degrees of freedom with respect to the other end of the horizontal movement module.

A body pillow has an elongate body formed around an axis. An outer cover of the pillow includes a stretchy circumferential band of material disposed around the axis and to be spaced from either end of the pillow. Ends of first and second inner pillows are disposed near or under the circumferential band. The user may helically twist the body of the pillow around the axis at the circumferential band. Doing so separates the inner pillows and increases their firmness. An inner side of the outer cover may be made of a stretchy fabric that conforms to the body of the user, while outer side may be composed mostly of nonstretch material to retain the pillows' shape. The twisted and nontwisted configurations of the pillow make it an effective sleeping aid for expecting mothers during different stages of their pregnancies.

A surgical table arm support assembly and surgical table therewith is provided. The assembly includes a mount bracket and an upright support member operably attached to the mount bracket. A lateral support member is operably attached to the upright support member. The lateral support member is selectively movable about 3 axes. An arm support member is operably attached to the lateral support member. The arm support member is selectively movable about 3-axes. The arm support member can be precisely positioned and releasably fixed in the desired position to best assure the patient's arm, which is releasably fixed to the arm support member, is properly supported and located over the course of a lengthy surgical procedure to minimize the risk of trauma resulting from the arm being supported in a rearward extending, elevated position.

Disclosed is a system for modular furniture construction. The system comprises a plurality of triangular shaped foam pieces, said triangular foam pieces are covered in a fabric or other material. The triangular foam pieces are assembled in different positions to allow furniture to be constructed with varying shapes.

A contoured therapeutic cushion assembly includes a wedge cushion; a base panel; and a head rest having a lower surface joined to the base panel. The wedge cushion has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is disposed at an angle relative to the bottom surface so that the top surface and the bottom surface join at a first end. An elongated concave surface joins the top surface and the bottom surface opposite the first end. A base panel extends from a lower edge of the elongated concave surface. The head rest has an elongated surface within which a longitudinally extending recess is formed. The elongated concave surface, the base panel, and the longitudinally extending recess collectively define a channel to receive at least a portion of a user's arm.

An arm rest apparatus, according to one embodiment, may comprise: a fixed part fixed to an external object; a horizontal movement module having one end rotatably connected to the fixed part and the other end having two-translational-degree-of-freedom movement with respect to the fixed part; and an arm support module installed to have two rotational degrees of freedom with respect to the other end of the horizontal movement module.

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 weighted body pillow comprises a pillow casing; a weighted core within the pillow casing, wherein the weighted body pillow is configured to be cradled between a user's arms and legs while sleeping on the user's side, ensuring proper spinal alignment.
