  • Patent number: 6523201
    Abstract: The sleep support 10 of the present invention is a pillow-like device that includes a first rest plane 11, and second rest plane 13, such that the first rest plane 11 and the second rest plane 13 intersect. Associated with the first rest plane 11 is a thickness t1 and associated with the second rest plane 13 is a thickness t2, such that t1 and t2 are different. The sleep support 10 further defines a long axis 17 and a short axis 18. The long axis 17 is approximately parallel to the second rest plane 13 and the short axis 18 is approximately parallel to the first rest plane 11. The short axis 18 thus defines the orientation of the first rest plane 11 and the long axis 17 thus defines the orientation of the second rest plane 13. The long axis 17 forms an internal angle &THgr; that, preferably, is nominally a right angle with the short axis 18, where the long axis 17 and the short axis 18 intersect. Thus, the sleep support 10 is generally “L-shaped”.
