ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic pillow, that can be fastened to the backrest of a variety of chairs and seats, provides air-pressure-assisted lower back support that can be conveniently adjusted by the user for optimum level of support. The self-inflating pillow, utilizing an interacting combination of two types of expanded compressible core material stuffing and air pressure, never requires an external pump, compressor or lung/breath inflation. The front surface of the pillow provides a hook-and loop type attachment surface for versatile attachment of support straps for securing the pillow in place to the chair, and also provides for versatile attachment of thermal packets, e.g. for cold therapy. The pillow can be folded or rolled in a deflated carrying mode.
