ABSTRACT:
An inflatable orthopedic pillow for use by an individual while sleeping in a lateral position. The pillow elevates one leg relative to the other leg, when the person is resting in a lateral position on a substantially planar support surface. The pillow has a pillow body and one or more inflatable chambers disposed within the pillow body for supporting one leg of the person. The chambers are selectively inflatable for supporting one of the legs in the second plane. Thus, the spine is straightened and disposed substantially parallel to the support surface when the person is oriented in the lateral position.
