ABSTRACT:
A stress reducing device is defined by a dual use orthopedic pillow having a low density polyurethane foam outer region, a high density polyurethane foam middle region that are provided in removably attachable layers, so that the size of the device may be adjusted to accommodate different sizes and preferences of individual users. The pillow advantageously includes leg clasps for securely engaging the inner thighs of an individual in a sideling position defined by a stem and a pair of crescent shaped buttresses. The buttresses resist rotation to the prone and supine lying positions. The high foam within the stem separates the knees to reduce spinal stress. Advantageously, a supine sleeping position is added by positioning said pillow under the legs to flatten out the spine while supporting the legs at the thigh and calf regions.
