Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for providing orthopedic support. A preferred system (20) includes a pair of wedge-shaped pillows (22, 24), a cervical pillow (32) and a rectangular elevation pillow (38). The pillows (22, 24, 32 and 38) can be made of polyurethane foam and covered with nylon. One of the wedge-shaped pillows 22 has a cross-section of a right isosceles triangle. The other wedge-shaped pillow (24) also has a cross-section substantially similar to a right isosceles triangle but has a concave portion (30) suitable for receiving a convex neck support area (36) of the cervical pillow (32). The pillows (22, 24, 32 and 38) preferably include Velcro.TM. strips which allow the pillows to be interconnected and connected to a mat (42) so that an individual's legs and head can be appropriately supported to induce a pain-reducing curve in the individual's lower back. Rings (22a,b and 24a,b) are attached to the sides (26d,e and 28d,e) of pillows (22 and 24). Velcro.TM.

Abstract: A pillow (1) which may be placed between the knees (22, 26) of a leg (20), so as to prevent chafing between the knees when a person is required to recline on their side for a long period of time. The pillow (1) is generally rectangular in plan form, and includes a series of notches (6, 7, 8) which permit the pillow to deflect in a manner consistent with the movement of the knee. A plurality of straps (14, 17) are used to fasten the pillow to the knee, fastening of the straps being accomplished by means of hookable fasteners (15, 18).
