To provide a cushion which promotes a physiological curvature from the cervical spine to the thoracic vertebrae of a body lying in a bed, without causing defensive reflexes, leading to fundamental improvement of the state of the body .SOLUTION: This cushion is disposed between the body 1 in the recumbent position and the bed 2 and used for the cushion, and includes a thick plate portion A for supporting the head portion, a thin plate portion C for supporting the shoulder blade, And an inclined portion B formed by sloped faces between the thick plate portion A and the thin plate portion C and the inclined portion B therebetween and between the thick plate portion A and the thin plate portion C and the inclined portion B of the body lying on the bed 2 It is characterized by supporting from the head to the shoulder blades and applying pressure stimulus to keep the physiological curvature from the cervical spine to the thoracic vertebrae. The length of the thick plate-like portion, the inclined portion, and the thin plate-like portion in the height direction of the body lying on the bed is suitably 20 to 50 cm, 15 to 25 cm, 10 to 20 cm respectively, and it is preferable that the thick plate-The height of the part is preferably 7 to 13 cm, 3 to 7 cm, respectively.(FIG.【課題】簡易な構成でありながらも、防御反射を起こすことなく、臥床に横たわった身体の頚椎から胸椎までの生理的弯曲を促進して、身体の状態の根本的改善を導くクッションを提供する。【解決手段】臥位の身体1と臥床2との間に配設して使用するクッションであって、頭部を支える厚板状部分Aと、肩甲骨を支える薄板状部分Cと、それらの間に位置する斜面から成る傾斜部分Bとが連なった略直方体状であり、厚板状部分Aと薄板状部分Cとの段差及びそれらの間の傾斜部分Bによって、臥床2に横たわった身体の頭部から肩甲骨までを支えると共に圧迫刺激を与えて、頚椎から胸椎までの生理的弯曲を保つことを特徴とする。臥床に横たわった身体の身長方向における厚板状部分、傾斜部分、薄板状部分の長さは、それぞれ、20~50cm、15~25cm、10~20cmが好適であり、厚板状部分、薄板状部分の高さは、それぞれ、7~13cm、3~7cmが好適である。【選択図】図7
