Abstract

The present invention is an adjustable air chamber lumbar and pillow lift device. The present invention has an air chamber and an air hose. The air chamber is a cavity that holds air that enters via the air hose. The air chamber has an outer layer and a bed-facing surface. The air hose has an air pump and a chamber connection. The air chamber is adjustable in size. This allows the air chamber to expand upwards to three inches tall to provide lumbar lift support or create pillow lift. The air chamber is a thin vinyl non-porous material that retains air that is pumped within, retaining the expanded shape of the air chamber.
