Positioning cushion that can support the entire body

– provides firm support and reduces shoulder pain

Description
A long roll props up the body when lying in bed. The roll can be folded, shaped and adapted. It can also be shaken so that it becomes fuller in certain parts and thinner in others.

The user uses it when he lies on his side so that the roll supports his head and back.

Model: RHOMBO-MED Kinesthetic roll from Etac

Authors comments
The roll takes the weight off the user’s shoulders when lying on side. Reduces snoring since it prevents the user from lying on back.
