Abstract
A thigh supporting pillow includes a thigh sleeve, a wedge-shaped pillow, and one or more attachments for securing the pillow to the sleeve. The sleeve may be a continuous band or a sheet that may be rolled around a thigh. The pillow may be a foam pillow, inflatable pillow or a pillow slip encasing supportive filler material (e.g., down, polyester, buckwheat or plastic particles). The wedge shaped pillow fits between a wearer's crotch and thigh without reaching the knees. The pillow maintains proper alignment of the hips while side-sleeping.
Claims20
A thigh supporting pillow assembly comprising
- a sleeve sized to receive a thigh of a wearer, said sleeve having a hollow frustum shape with a distal opening, a proximal opening opposite the distal opening, and a central longitudinal axis extending from said proximal opening to said distal opening, said distal opening having a first diameter and said proximal opening having a second diameter, the second diameter being greater than the first diameter, a length of the sleeve measured from the center of the proximal opening to the center of the distal opening being less than a distance from a crotch of the wearer to a knee of the wearer, and
- a thigh supporting pillow attached to the sleeve, said pillow being a hexahedron with a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis extending from said proximal end to said distal end, the longitudinal axis of the thigh supporting pillow being coplanar with the central longitudinal axis of the sleeve, the distal end of the thigh supporting pillow being adjacent to the distal opening of the sleeve, and the proximal end of the thigh supporting pillow being adjacent to the proximal opening of the sleeve, and the distal end having a first width and the proximal end having a second width, and said second width being less than the first width, and a length of the thigh supporting pillow measured from the distal end to the proximal end being less than the length of the sleeve, and
- an attachment attaching the thigh supporting pillow to the sleeve.
