Novel devices and apparatus are provided to support the arms of a person when lying in the prone position. In preferred embodiments, an arm supporting apparatus comprises an elongate center panel with a generally planar top surface, a first arm board connected to the center panel at one end, and a second arm board connected to the center panel at a second end. In some further embodiments, the first and second arm boards are adapted to swing or pivot from an extended position whereby the arm boards are generally level with the center panel to a lowered depressed position. In yet further embodiments, the arm boards may curve or slope upwards at their distal ends helping to secure a persons arms and prevent them from falling off of the boards.
