description A light weight, inflatable, readily compactible, inexpensive bed sore treatment and prevention method and apparatus. Two inflatable wedges are held in close approximation to a patient/person by a plurality of straps that each encircle the person and the two wedges to a moderate and readily adjustable degree of snugness. Internal partitions help maintain the shapes of the respective wedges. The edges of the wedges can be rounded to optimize comfort for the user. The device is readily portable due to its light weight and its fabrication from flexible, foldable material, which can be plastic, rubber, or any other suitable material that is durable, resilient, and air tight. The wedges are used for a predetermined period of time to maintain the person in one position, after which the person is moved to a different position. The wedges can be used to treat and/or prevent various conditions, such as sleep apnea, snoring, bed sores, etc. The wedges may also be made from foam rubber or the like in which case the inflation is not required.
