The support apparatus consists of four cushions (3', 3") which are fitted to a flat surface such as a bed by fastenings (8, 14) and are located on either side of the person's neck and trunk. The cushions are shaped to fit the curves of the body and can be adjusted on the fastenings, which are in the form of straps which go round a mattress, one on a level with the person's neck and the other on a level with the trunk. Other straps (20', 20") can be fitted on either side of the patient.
