## Abstract

A prone position pillow system has a head support portion, an elongated torso component with a cavity, and an insert pillow that can be inserted into the cavity to form an empty space below. The torso component includes a sagittal oriented face hole and an air tunnel having side openings sized and dimensioned to allow a patient to insert hands into the space below the face hole. A travel pillow rests on the head support portion to support a user's face. An adjustable leg elevation component and a cylindrical component support the user's legs in a comfortable position. The head support portion has one or more grooves that can hold a breathing tube. The torso component can have a second cavity designed to create space for the user's genital area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A prone position pillow system, comprising:
an elongated torso component configured to support a user's torso, comprising:
1) a first cavity extending downwards from a top surface of the torso component, and
2) a head support portion comprising a sagittal oriented face hole; and
an insert pillow sized and dimensioned with respect to the first cavity, such that when the insert pillow is inserted into the first cavity, there remains a space measuring at least 50 cm3 below at least a portion of the insert pillow.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system in claim 1, wherein the first cavity is broader at top than at bottom.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system in claim 1, wherein the first cavity narrows gradually.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system in claim 1, wherein the first cavity narrows sharply.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system in claim 1, wherein the insert pillow defines the space.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system of claim 1, further comprising an air tunnel configured to communicate with the face hole.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The prone position pillow system of claim 6, wherein the air tunnel opens laterally.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The prone position pillow system of claim 6, wherein the air tunnel opens superiorly.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The prone position pillow system of claim 6, wherein the air tunnel comprises a left opening and a right opening, sized and dimensioned to allow a person to insert hands and a portion of arms into the openings.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system of claim 1, further comprising a travel pillow sized and dimensioned to rest on the head support portion of the torso component.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The prone position pillow system of claim 1, further comprising a leg elevation component, detached from the torso component.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The prone position pillow system of claim 11, wherein the leg elevation component comprises an inclined side that faces the torso component.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The prone position pillow system of claim 11, further comprising an at least partially cylindrical component on top of the leg elevation component.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)
