A support pillow has a pillow-fill unit comprising pillow fill material, a neck support unit comprising an inflatable air bladder and a pillow case having a first sleeve for receiving the pillow-fill unit and a second sleeve for receiving the cervical or neck support unit. The second sleeve of the pillow case includes padding on an inner sleeve surface. The inflatable air bladder includes a valve that operates in a first state to allow an input of pressurized air and in a second state to allow an exit of bladder-stored air. Adding air to the inflatable air bladder, in the first state, increases a size of and pressure in the inflatable air bladder. Also, the padding on the inner sleeve surface of the second sleeve is soft, and compressible.

Functional pillow for couples can include a foam body having an upturned U-shape. The upturned U-shape can have a roof, located between a first leg and a second leg. A scoop is positioned at a top edge of the roof. The scoop can provide a resting place for a head. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

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.

A weighted target applicator is an apparatus that applies weight directly to specific parts of the body of a user. The apparatus includes at least one pad, a setting, a structural base, and a barbell mount. The pad is detachably attached onto the setting, the structural base is mounted onto the setting, opposite to the pad. The barbell mount is mounted onto the structural base, opposite the setting. In a first embodiment and a second embodiment, the structural base is rotatably connected to the setting. The at least one pad of the first embodiment conforms to the chest. The at least one pad of the second embodiment conforms to the hip. In a third embodiment, the structural base is fixed to the setting. The at least one pad of the third embodiment includes a first pad and a second pad that are shaped to receive the face of the user.

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 foldable backrest, including a backrest plate, operatively configured to be leaned upon by a back of a user. A support plate pivotally connected to the backrest plate operatively configured to be placed on a surface on which a user desires to sit or lay down on. One or more movable rigid wedges configured to form a desired angle between the backrest plate and the support plate in respect to the pivot connection between the backrest plate and the support plate. One or more wedge-stopping means for fixing the movable rigid wedge in a position for forming the desired angle. The one or more movable rigid wedge(s) configured to transfer mechanical support to the backrest plate from a surface on which support plate is positioned when the rigid wedge is fixed in a desired position by the wedge-stopping means.

A body support structure includes a base and a cushion moveable between a seating configuration and a sleeping configuration. The cushion may include foldable first and second sections. In one embodiment, a spacer includes first and second support surfaces, and is pivotal between an upright position, wherein the first support surface engages and supports the cushion in the seating configuration, and a down position, wherein the second support surface engages and supports the cushion in the sleeping configuration. Methods of reconfiguring a body support structure are also provided.

A back rest assembly includes a base assembly mountable adjacent a resting surface and a back rest having a supported side pivotably supported by the base assembly and an unsupported side spaced laterally apart from the supported side along a lateral axis. When the base assembly is mounted, the back rest is positionable over the resting surface and selectively pivotable about the lateral axis for adjusting an angular position of the back rest relative to the resting surface.

The subject invention is a device intended for use where support, pressure offloading/pressure relief, and pressure redistribution of the spine is needed. (AHRQ/NPUAP, Number 15Pressure Ulcer Treatment)

A bed frame includes a backrest, a bedstead and a plurality of connectors to couple the backrest with the bedstead. A connector includes first, second, third and fourth segments, in which each of the second, third, and fourth segments extends from a lower side of the first segment. A first slot is formed between the second and third segments to accommodate a bar of the backrest, and a second slot is formed between the third and fourth segments to accommodate a bar of the bedstead. When the bed frame is assembled, each connector in the plurality of connectors is fixedly coupled with the bar of the backrest, and snap-fitted on the bar of the bedstead.
