Abstract
A pillow for use in supporting the legs of a person in bed comprises an I beam of resilient foam material having a V notch located towards one end thereof. The apex of the V notch locates proximate one of the flanges whereby it acts as a hinge for flexure of the flanges in the plane of the web thereof. A second pillow having a truncated triangular prismatic shape may be used with the first pillow in transverse relation through the notch, to provide support for the knees when raised.
