Patent ID: 7698766

Claim:
A sleep support system comprising: a trunk rest having a trunk rest surface and having a trunk rest face at an end of the trunk rest, wherein the trunk rest surface is operable to support a trunk of a person laying in a sleep-on-side position, and wherein the trunk rest face is defined by an upper portion and a lower portion; and a head rest having a head rest surface and a head rest face, wherein the head rest face has a vertical dimension or height substantially equal to a vertical dimension of the trunk rest face, such that when the head rest is placed in operative relation to the trunk rest, the head rest face opposes the trunk rest face and is separated from the trunk rest face by a separation distance, such that the trunk rest and the head rest cooperate to define a cavity disposed below the end of the trunk rest to receive a lower arm of the person laying in the sleep-on-side position, and wherein the separation distance defined by the relative position between the upper portion and the lower portion of the trunk rest face increases from the upper portion of the trunk rest face to the lower portion of the trunk rest face.
