ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT APPARATUS

摘要

Presented herein are various adjustable support apparatus and methods for using the same. The apparatus comprises a cover defining a user-facing surface, at least a portion of the user-facing surface defining a plurality of raised members. The apparatus includes an adjustment mechanism that enables a user to selectively and incrementally increase the pressure exerted by the user-facing surface of the support apparatus and, specifically, the raised members, on the back of the user. In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism comprises a bladder at least partially enclosed by the cover; and wherein the bladder is structured to be inflated or deflated so as to urge the user-facing surface and plurality of raised members toward or away from the user, respectively, so as to increase or decrease, respectively, the force exerted by the raised members against the user.
