ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a specialized cushion-like support having an arcuate body and a neck attached thereto. The cushion-like support fits adjacent the torso and between the legs of the user, thus separating the legs and supporting the upper arm, shoulders, spine and back. The neck of the cushion-like support functions as a bolster, preventing the torso of the user from twisting or rolling forward, and the body of the support minimizes or eliminates friction and pressure gradients between the legs as the user sleeps or rests on his side. The cushion-like support is designed for use as a regular sleep support for both children and adults, is easily adapted into a stuffed toy for children, and is particularly well-suited, in therapeutic bed rest and hospital applications, for minimizing fatigue in the arms, shoulders and back and for preventing abrasion, pressure points and decubitus ulceration on the lower limbs and extremities.
