Description

Description "The SleenRight Back and Leg Wed2e System" invention evolved in the last trimester of my pregnancy in December of 2004. Many companies on the market today, such as Obusforme, Mediflow, Dr Oswald's Ergo-Health Pillow, and Tempurpedic offer a variety of different support products, however after my extensive search, I found what I required had not yet been brought to market. I needed not only to achieve the proper support and relief from pressure and fatigue to my spine, muscles and joints, but also, it was extremely important to maintain proper blood flow to my baby while I slept, by not rolling onto my back. Designed to work together, this system I created, successfully achieved this support simultaneously.

"The SleegRight Back and Leg Wedge System" enables you to relax the muscles and joints in the area of the lower lumbar region. If you are pregnant, blood flow is best for your baby while lying on your left side. This system completely stops you from rolling onto your back while supporting that proper blood flow due to the contoured design of the wedge.
There are a variety of ways to use this system during and even after pregnancy that will assist in providing quality sleep and premium support.

"TheS1eepRight Back and Leg Wedge System" wedges are comprised of two different styles of foam. The outer layering of the Back Wedge (see Figure 1) is made from standard "furniture grade" foam, while an interior layer of memory foam (see Figure 2) is glued to the inside area that has direct contact to the body. This allows the wedge to cradle to the body's exact curves once the adjustable belt has been fastened around the front of the body to the desired position.
(see Figure 5) After the Back Wedge has been fastened securely in place, you can choose a position, for example, sitting on a chair, or lying down. The Leg Wedge (see Figures 3 & 4) is solely made from the "furniture grade" foam and consists of a gradual incline that supports the elevation of the legs to properly support the spine and also assists in minimizing pressure and fatigue to the muscles and joints. The entire system simultaneously and successfully achieves reduced strain and stress on your lower lumbar region. Both wedges come with removable, washable outer cases and the Back Wedge case has a handy pocket compartment (see Figure 5) for use with various items such as: magazines, cold pack or a heating pad (only after pregnancy).

Claims (2)

1. The Back Wedge is a unique design that encompasses a "form fit" interior layer, made of memory foam. It will adapt the body's shape, while the outer structure, made of "furniture grade" foam is the sturdy mold to support the entire system. The force exerted by the body whether in sleep or alert stages will enable the Back Wedge to target the lower lumbar region, as well as, stop you from rolling over.
2. The Leg Wedge made solely of the "furniture grade" foam provides an elevation of space between the legs that supports the spine and assists in the relief of undue stress and pressure to the lower lumbar region.
