Abstract
This invention relates generally to a body pillow and support system. Due to the need for additional support, pregnant women often encounter difficulty sleeping. The support pregnant women typically need is not just for their head, but for their abdomen, back and/or legs. Many pregnant women find themselves hot or cold as well as hot on one part of their body and cold on a different part of their body. All of these conditions are usually met by the pregnant woman finding several pillows and stuffing those same pillows all around her when she is trying to get some rest. This invention also is useful for a diverse group of people who need soft support to rest or recuperate and is not limited to women who are pregnant.
Claims25
A pillow comprising:
- a generally C-shaped circle segment comprising a terminal end and a nonterminal end;
- a lower segment comprising a terminal end and a nonterminal end;
- and
- a transitional segment joining the nonterminal end of the lower segment to the nonterminal end of the circle segment;
- and
- a terminal segment extending from the terminal end of the circle segment;
- wherein, when the pillow is in the resting position, the lower segment and the transitional segment form an elongate body extending a distance from the nonterminal end of the circle segment so that the terminal end of the lower segment is positioned further from the circle segment than the terminal segment;
- and
- at least one tab on the terminal segment, the tab comprising a loop wrapped around the elongate body of the pillow a distance above the terminal end of the lower segment to form a circle in the pillow, and wherein the loop is sized to permit adjustment of the size of the circle by moving the loop along the length of the elongate body.
