System and method for face cradle cover
System and method for adjustable, seamless face cradle cover providing a barrier between a patient from any unprotected and potentially unsanitary areas of the face cradle while allowing the patient to breathe freely and prevent creases forming on the patient's face.
Portable body support comprising mask and saddle
The present invention relates to a portable body support and, more particularly, a body support providing functions of preventing the body from sliding down from an inclined support and also completely relieving load on the neck supporting the head at a face support part of the body support when the body support, such as a folding table or a portable temporary bed, is obliquely set up on the floor and used in a prone position so as to be useable for activities such as reading, thereby ensuring an effect of providing a technical configuration for not generating neck pain at all. As to the technical configuration, provided is the portable body support for coupling a face support mask and a pelvis support saddle to each other by using hinges, bolts and the like and constructing the coupled mask and saddle. When reading for a long time in a prone state by using the portable body support, comprising the mask and the saddle, of the present invention, neck pain, whole body fatigue, and the like are not generated at all, and an advantage of maintaining, for a long time, mental strength and posture to concentrate conveniently on reading in a prone state is guaranteed.
Mattress with airflow passages
A mattress allowing an individual to sleep in a prone position is provided. The mattress includes one or more internal cavities providing airflow to an openings formed in the mattress. The openings, which may be selectively closed, are sized for an average adult and are connected by way of the cavity to outlets which allow airflow. The reinforced cavities have filters and other features to increase user comfort.
Adjustable body pillow
An adjustable body pillow that comprises a center section with first and second legs. One or both of the first and second legs includes an elasticized section that allows the length of the leg to extend or retract. One or both of the legs may include an inwardly extending curve or bulge along its inner perimeter. One or both of the legs may terminate in an inwardly turned toe or may include an inwardly curved foot at the end. In addition to the adjustable length afforded by the elasticized sections, these sections are flatter and amenable to folding or twisting to allow the body pillow to be arranged in multiple configurations.

Therapeutic cushion
A therapeutic cushion comprising a one-piece, elongated, molded firm body, the forwardmost portions of said body in side elevation, including convexly contoured surfaces adapted for head-engaging support. Intermediate portions of said body in side elevation defining an upwardly projecting apex adapted for engaging support of the cervical vertebrae C-3 to C-6, the rearwardmost portions of said body in side elation being convexly contoured and downwardly shaped and adapted to support thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spinal regions, said body defining a concave gap in side elevation between said intermediate and said rearwardmost portions and whereby the geometry of said body gently stretches the spine of a user laying horizontally thereupon.
Elastically Woven Face Cradle
An objective of the present invention is to provide users a face cradle that form-fits to the unique contours of a user's face, as the user suspends their face within the elastic woven components of the face cradle. Accordingly, the present invention provides an apparatus comprising of a structure that holds a webbed elastic face rest. Preferably, the present invention comprises an arch shaped webbing formed over a rigid structure. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention is shaped similar to that of a vortex or torus that can stretch, and form fit to the user's head/face with no pressure points. Furthermore, the present invention may exist as a standalone structure, or a removable attachment to a previously existing structure for attaching to a treatment table.
BODY SUPPORT
The invention relates to a body support (12) for users with a handheld media in which a person (26) and user of the body support (12) maintains a proper posture of the body to avoid damage that may arise due to strain on the lumbar (10) of the body and spine 36. Herein, it is intended to support the front part of a user's body by resting the body's front on the body support (12) on a formed curvature (14). The body support (12) curvature has a curve shape that allows the user's lumbar to arch (30) in its well-intended neutral position in a user with a correct posture.
