Abstract

A support pillow is disclosed. The support pillow may include an exterior support structure. The exterior support apparatus may include an exterior surface, wherein the exterior surface defines a perimeter of the support pillow. The exterior support apparatus may include an inner surface, wherein the inner surface is located concentrically within the exterior surface. The exterior support apparatus may include an upper surface. The exterior support apparatus may include a lower surface, wherein the upper surface and the lower surface are located opposite of each other, wherein the exterior surface, the inner surface, the upper surface, and the lower surface are joined to form a solid body of the exterior support structure. The support pillow may include an interior hole, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the upper surface or the lower surface is tapered inwardly towards the interior hole.

         9 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the support pillow further comprises:
 a cover for the support pillow, wherein the cover is configured to completely surround the inner surface, the exterior surface, the upper surface, and the lower surface of the support pillow.   
     
     
         10 . The support pillow of  claim 9 , wherein the cover includes a textured outer layer. 
     
     
         11 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the support pillow is configured to space the legs of a user when at least a portion of knees of the user are aligned with the interior hole at the upper surface and the lower surface. 
     
     
         12 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the support pillow is configured to align the legs of a user when at least a portion of knees of the user are aligned with the interior hole at the upper surface and the lower surface. 
     
     
         13 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of at least one of the exterior surface or the inner surface is circular. 
     
     
         14 . The support pillow of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more vents provide air flow around the support pillow. 
     
     
         15 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner surface, the exterior surface, the upper surface, or the lower surface of the support pillow comprises a textured surface. 
     
     
         16 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the upper surface or the lower surface tapered to the interior hole comprises both the upper surface or the lower surface tapered to the interior hole. 
     
     
         17 . The support pillow of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion at least one of the upper surface or the lower surface is tapered outwardly towards the exterior surface. 
     
     
         18 . A support pillow comprising:
 an exterior support structure, comprising:
 an exterior surface, wherein the exterior surface defines a perimeter of the support pillow; 
 an inner surface, wherein the inner surface is located concentrically within the exterior surface; 
 an upper surface; and 
 a lower surface, wherein the upper surface and the lower surface are located opposite of each other, wherein the exterior surface, the inner surface, the upper surface, and the lower surface are joined to form a solid body of the exterior support structure; 
   an interior hole, wherein the interior hole is defined by the inner surface, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the upper surface or the lower surface is tapered inwardly towards the interior hole; and   one or more vents, extending radially from the interior hole to the exterior surface of the support pillow.   
     
     
         19 . A support pillow comprising:
