Abstract: A support device for use in supporting a user's spine while in a seated position, including lower, top and intermediate sections merged smoothly in a rigid piece. The device extends the entire length of the user's spine from occipital region to coccyx, and includes lateral support for maintaining a centered spinal position. The device preferably sits on the seat of a chair or automobile seat and leans against the back of the seat to support the user's spine. The intermediate section of the device is preferably narrow to sit flush with the user's back between the shoulder blades (scapulae) and allowing the user to rotate to either side in the seat. The support is preferably constructed with a flocked or fabric-covered foam exterior over a rigid plastic armature.

Abstract: A therapeutic sleeping pillow for a user is generally rectangular with longer front and rear edges and a pair of shorter side edges and upper and lower surfaces. A central portion of the upper surface is provided with a cavity for receiving the user's head, with a neck-supporting ridge formed between the front edge of the pillow and the cavity in the central portion. A wedge-shaped extension of the pillow projects from the front edge to support the upper back of the user. At least one of the pair of shorter side edges has an extension disposed thereon. Each such side extension is provided with a relatively shallow central cavity on the upper surface for receiving and supporting the user's head and a front edge for supporting the user's neck. The upper surface of each such side extension slopes generally downwardly from the front edge towards the rear edge.
