Breast protection body support system

Abstract

A system including a torso support for a user in a prone position protects the user's breasts from compressive forces. The torso support has a length corresponding to an approximate distance from the upper abdomen to shoulders of a user. Cavities are provided to receive breasts. A portion of the pillow adjacent the abdomen is cut away to provide a recess for a user's rib cage. An upper surface of the torso support may be canted at an angle to approximate an angle at which a user's upper body tilts with respect to a horizontal support surface. A fabric cover for the torso support includes a sleeve in registration with each breast cavity. The sleeve may be closed at to a lower end adjacent a bottom of each breast cavity. The system may further comprise a head cushion that mates with the torso support to fit efficiently in a carrying case.

         7 . The torso support pillow of  claim 6 , wherein a first portion of the at least two to portions has one or more reliefs therein to receive one or more facial features of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The torso support pillow of  claim 1 , further comprising a protective cover surrounding the torso support pillow, the protective cover having a sleeve in registration with each of the at least two recesses to be received therein. 
     
     
         9 . A breast protection system for supporting a user's breasts comprising:
 a torso support pillow comprising:
 a body comprising a base and an upper surface, the body formed from one or more resilient materials; 
 one or more recesses in the upper surface for receiving one or more breasts of a user; and 
   a head cushion comprising:
 one or more reliefs configured to receive one or more facial features of the user. 
   
     
     
         10 . The torso support pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the upper surface is angled upward from a first end to a second end of the torso support pillow. 
     
     
         11 . The torso support pillow of  claim 9  further comprising an abdominal recess at an edge of the upper surface configured to receive a torso area of the user's body. 
     
     
         12 . The torso support pillow of  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the head cushion is configured to nest within at least one of the one or more recesses. 
     
     
         13 . The torso support pillow of  claim 12 , further comprising a carrying case and wherein the head cushion and the torso support pillow are shaped to nest to form a rectangular parallelepiped and in which the carrying case is fitted to the rectangular parallelepiped. 
     
     
         14 . The torso support pillow of  claim 9 , further comprising a protective cover surrounding the torso support pillow, the protective cover having a sleeve in registration with each of the one or more recesses to be received therein. 
     
     
         15 . The torso support pillow of  claim 14 , further comprising a second cover surrounding the first cover, the second cover being removable for washing. 
     
     
         16 . The torso support pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the torso support pillow has a therapeutic magnet. 
     
     
         17 . A method of protecting a user's breast implants comprising:
 providing a torso support pillow having an angled upper surface;   providing one or more recesses in the upper surface of the torso support pillow to receive one or more of the user's breasts;   providing an abdominal recess at an edge of the upper surface to accept a portion of the user's torso; and   supporting the weight of the user's torso with the torso support pillow to reduce strain on the user's breast implants.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising providing a head cushion having one or more reliefs to receive one or more facial features of the user and supporting the weight of the user's head with the head cushion. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising placing at least a first portion of the head cushion within at least one of the one or more recesses to store the head cushion within the torso support pillow. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising covering the torso support pillow with a cover to protect the torso support pillow.
