Body support that promotes upright posture

Abstract

A body support (10) for supporting a user above a support surface (12) includes a support member (16) that is formed from a resilient material. The support member (16) includes a substantially flat first surface (18) and a substantially flat second surface (20) that is angled relative to the first surface (18). One of the first surface (18) and the second surface (20) can have a continuously curved perimeter. The first surface (18) has a first surface area and the second surface (20) has a second surface area that can be similar to the first surface area. The support member (16) includes a third surface (22) having a first region (23) that is approximately perpendicular to the first surface (18) and the second surface (20), and a second region (25) that is non-perpendicular to both the first surface (18) and the second surface (20). The support member (16) can be substantially symmetrical relative to a latitudinal plane (28) that is positioned between the first surface (18) and the second surface (20). One of the first surface (18) and the second surface (20) is substantially circular or elliptical in shape.
