ABSTRACT:
A device, particularly a contoured pillow, is disclosed for supporting the torso of a person. The pillow includes a top and a bottom separated by a side panel. The side panel is appropriately curved to provide a pair of shoulder support regions, a pair of scapula support regions and a sternum support region to permit a woman to rest or sleep with her chest facing downwardly without placing undue pressure on her breasts. The pillow is particularly designed as a therapeutic pillow for use after surgical procedures, such as breast enlargements or breast reductions. The various regions of the pillow are designed to support the person without placing undue stress on the areas which have undergone surgery.
