Abstract
An apparatus for supporting a human body is disclosed. The apparatus has a body assembly configured to support a back of the human body, a head assembly attached to the body assembly via an attachment portion, the head assembly including one or more members forming a recess configured to receive a head of the human body, and a slit disposed between the body assembly and the head assembly, the slit configured to open from a closed position to an open position to provide rotation of the head assembly relative to the body assembly.

An apparatus for supporting a human body, comprising:
- a body assembly configured to support a back of the human body;
- a head assembly attached to the body assembly via an attachment portion, the head assembly including one or more members forming a recess configured to receive a head of the human body;
- and
- a slit disposed between the body assembly and the head assembly, the slit configured to open from a closed position to an open position to provide rotation of the head assembly relative to the body assembly;
- wherein a slit opening angle of the slit when the slit is in the closed position is 0 degrees.
A method for supporting a human body, comprising:
- providing an apparatus including a body assembly and a head assembly attached to the body assembly via an attachment portion, the apparatus including a slit disposed between the body assembly and the head assembly;
- supporting a back of the human body with the body assembly;
- supporting a head of the human body with the head assembly;
- rotating the head assembly relative to the body assembly based on opening and closing the slit between a closed position and an open position;
- maintaining the head in the head assembly based on receiving the head in a recess formed in the head assembly;
- and
- abutting the head assembly against the body assembly when the slit is in the closed position.
An apparatus for supporting a human body, comprising:
- a body assembly configured to support a back of the human body;
- a head assembly attached to the body assembly via an attachment portion, the head assembly including one or more members forming a recess configured to receive a head of the human body;
- and
- a slit disposed between the body assembly and the head assembly, the slit configured to open from a closed position to an open position to provide rotation of the head assembly relative to the body assembly;
- wherein a centerline of the attachment portion is angled at between 64 and 68 degrees from a horizontal topline disposed at a top of the apparatus when the slit is in the closed position, the horizontal topline being parallel to a bottom surface of the apparatus;
- wherein a surface of the body assembly configured to support the back is angled at between 42 degrees and 48 degrees from the bottom surface;
- and
- a slit opening angle of the slit when the slit is in the open position is between 12 degrees and 18 degrees;
- wherein when the slit is in the closed position, the slit is completely closed with the head assembly abutting flush against the body assembly.
