Abstract: The invention is directed to a device comprising a body that defines a first surface and a second surface and defines a first, second, third and fourth lateral sides. In one embodiment, the first surface defines a first aperture and a second aperture. In one embodiment, the thickness of the body along the first lateral side is greater than the thickness of the body along the third lateral side such that the first surface slopes downwards from the first lateral side towards the third lateral side. The device not only reduces the pressure on the tailbone or on the hemorrhoids for a person in a seated position, but also reduces the discomfort or pain associated with settling into a seated position or emerging from a seated position.

Abstract: An adjustable support apparatus for a user includes a cover defining a user-facing surface, at least a portion of the user-facing surface defining a plurality of raised members each defining a distal end, wherein the distal end of each raised member defines a planar surface. The apparatus includes an adjustment mechanism at least partially enclosed by the cover. The adjustment mechanism is structured to be urged toward or away from the user so as to urge the user-facing surface and plurality of raised members toward or away from the user, respectively, so as to increase or decrease, respectively, the spacing between the distal ends of the raised members to thereby increase or decrease, respectively, the force exerted by the raised members against the user so as to impart a stretching or lengthening effect or contraction effect, respectively, on the vertebral column and intervertebral discs of the user.

Abstract: Presented herein are various adjustable support apparatus and methods for using the same. The apparatus comprises a cover defining a user-facing surface, at least a portion of the user-facing surface defining a plurality of raised members. The apparatus includes an adjustment mechanism that enables a user to selectively and incrementally increase the pressure exerted by the user-facing surface of the support apparatus and, specifically, the raised members, on the back of the user. In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism comprises a bladder at least partially enclosed by the cover; and wherein the bladder is structured to be inflated or deflated so as to urge the user-facing surface and plurality of raised members toward or away from the user, respectively, so as to increase or decrease, respectively, the force exerted by the raised members against the user.

Abstract: A pillow is provided for use with a respiratory mask, comprising first and second members, wherein the first member is made from a first material and the second member is made from a second material and wherein the first material is different from the second material. The first member or second member may define a plurality of apertures extending at least partially therethrough.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a pillow case with multiple enclosures. In some embodiments, a pillow case comprises a first enclosure that comprises a first edge and a second edge, and a second enclosure that comprises a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the first enclosure is hinged to the first edge of the second enclosure via a first hinged connection. Additionally, both the first and second enclosures receive pillow-filling material.
