ABSTRACT:
A lateral slumber support member includes a longitudinally extending wedge shaped pillow, for supporting a user, such as a pregnant woman, in a lateral slumber support, while lying down on either the left side or the right side, with the longitudinally extending wedge shaped pillow providing compressible, but firm support for the spine and pelvic region of the user. The longitudinally extending wedge shaped pillow has a triangular cross section, and has an interior body made of a firm, compressible elastic material, such as foam, which can provide support, but which easily conforms to the spinal and pelvic regions of the user. The wedge-shaped pillow includes a fabric cover which is permanently sewn to a bed sheet along an imaginary line dividing the sheet in half so it can be used by the user lying on either the left or right side. Because the wedge-shaped pillow is sewn to the sheet, it is held in place by virtue of the fact that the corners portions of the sheet are tucked under the corners of the mattress, while being attached to the sheet. The lateral slumber support member further includes an optional reverse position knee clasping pillow, which is attached by a flange to an edge of the wedge support pillow, so that the user can insert the knee clasping pillow between the knees of the user for further comfort. This knee clasping pillow moves pivotably from either a right side lying position or left side lying position.
