Accupressure foam system with inflatable bladders

Abstract

A zero-gravity position wedge system includes an upper body wedge containing one or more inflatable bladders, a foot wedge, and a pump to inflate the bladders. A mat system includes a mat containing one or more inflatable bladders and a pump to inflate the bladders. The mat is placed on a foam wedge or a zero-gravity position chair. A zero-gravity position chair includes a chair with a reclined upper body support and a raised knee portion; a pair of armrests with a cuff; at least one inflatable bladder in the upper body support; and a pump to inflate the bladder. The cuff activates an acupressure point.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A zero-gravity position wedge system, comprising:
 a) an upper body wedge containing one or more inflatable bladders;   b) a foot wedge; and   c) a pump operative to inflate the inflatable bladders.   
     
     
         2 . The zero-gravity position wedge system of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body wedge has a longitudinal concavity along an upper surface and a chamber, having an opening on a triangular side, encompassing the one or more inflatable bladders. 
     
     
         3 . The zero-gravity position wedge system of  claim 1 , further comprising a convoluted pad on an upper surface of the upper body wedge and the foot wedge. 
     
     
         4 . The zero-gravity position wedge system of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body wedge and the foot wedge comprise polymeric foam. 
     
     
         5 . The zero-gravity position wedge system of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustable lumbar support and an adjustable cervical support. 
     
     
         6 . A mat system, comprising a mat containing one or more inflatable bladders and a pump operative to inflate the one or more inflatable bladders, wherein the mat is configured to be placed on a foam wedge or a zero-gravity position chair. 
     
     
         7 . The mat system of  claim 6 , wherein the mat comprises polymeric foam. 
     
     
         8 . The mat system of  claim 6 , further comprising an adjustable lumbar support and an adjustable cervical support. 
     
     
         9 . A zero-gravity position chair, comprising:
 a) a chair with a reclined upper body support and a raised knee portion;   b) a pair of armrests with a cuff effective to activate an acupressure point;   c) at least one inflatable bladder within the reclined upper body support; and   d) a pump operative to inflate the at least one inflatable bladder.   
     
     
         10 . The zero-gravity position chair of  claim 9 , further comprising raised regions on a surface effective to activate pressure points. 
     
     
         11 . The zero-gravity position chair of  claim 9 , further comprising headphones. 
     
     
         12 . The zero-gravity position chair of  claim 9 , further comprising a color therapy cover. 
     
     
         13 . The zero-gravity position chair of  claim 9 , further comprising a convoluted pad thereon. 
     
     
         14 . The zero-gravity position chair of  claim 9 , further comprising an adjustable lumbar support and an adjustable cervical support.
