ABSTRACT:
A complete (bed-time) back support system is disclosed that, while at rest in a horizontal position in combination with any flat surface, positions the spine of the user to a straight alignment, hence, relieving pressure of the lumbar region, and helps to maintain the alignment whether said user is lying in either a supine or a lateral decubitus position. In a preferred form, the system comprises a cushion having an elongated portion with a sufficient length to extend from the chest of said user to just below the knees of said user and a knee support joining the tube with a sufficient extension to extend from the outside point of one knee to the outside point of the second knee of said user. In a particularly preferred form, the elongated member is adapted to restrict the user from lying directly prone as well as to provide support while the user is in a lateral decubitus position, hence forcing a straight spine alignment.
