Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for providing body support while tanning, using a tanning bed for example. In one embodiment, the method comprises positioning a support device on at least one surface (i.e. a UV emitting surface for example) of the tanning bed. A tailbone region of a user is positioned on the support device, elevating the user so that only the user'"'"'s feet and shoulders contact the surface while reclining in the tanning bed. Ultraviolet light is applied to the user, initiating the tanning session. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a support device for use with a tanning bed or other warm surface. The support device comprises first, second and third surfaces. The first surface defines a first peripheral edge; the second surface is opposite the first surface and defines a second peripheral edge; the third surface defines two opposing peripheral edges, at least one of the two opposing peripheral edges contacting the first peripheral edge and the other contacting the second peripheral edge. A recess is formed in at least one of the first and second surfaces and is configured to be placed under a user'"'"'s tailbone.

18. A support device for use with a tanning bed, comprising:
-
a substantially planar first surface having at least two sets of opposing ends, said first surface defining a first peripheral edge; a substantially planar second surface opposite said first surface, said second surface having at least two sets of opposing ends and defining a second peripheral edge, wherein said substantially planar second surface is configured to contact at least one UV emitting surface of the tanning bed; a third surface defining two opposing peripheral edges, one of said two opposing peripheral edges contacting said first peripheral edge and the other of said two opposing peripheral edges contacting said second peripheral edge; and a recess formed in said first surface and configured to be placed under a user'"'"'s tailbone region, enabling said user to recline in the tanning bed and elevating said user such that only said user'"'"'s feet and shoulders contact said UV emitting surface. - View Dependent Claims (19)
