PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waist pillow structure which contrives straightening of the hipbones naturally during a supine posture and which enables mitigation and prevention of low back pain.SOLUTION: The waist pillow includes a base air bag 10 that is applied to the waist bottom part of a supine human body. On both left and right ends of the base air bag 10, there are combinedly arranged a pair of side air bags 20, 30. Then, when each air bag is inflated, the upper end of both side air bags is designed to be higher than the upper end of the base air bag 10. When a user tilts the waist part to the left side or the right to get a recumbent posture, the left or the right side air bag appropriately accepts a force from the tilted waist part and is elastically deformed, with the repulsive force gently returning the user's body to the original supine posture.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】仰臥中に自然に腰骨の矯正が図られ、腰痛の緩和や予防を可能にする腰部用枕構造を提供する。【解決手段】仰臥する人体の腰底部に当てるベース空気袋１０を備え、このベース空気袋１０の左右両端部に１対のサイド空気袋２０，３０を連結配備する。そして、各空気袋の膨張時には、両サイド空気袋の上端がベース空気袋１０の上端よりも高くなるように設定される。使用者が横向しようと腰部を左又は右側に傾けると、傾いた腰部からの力を左側又は右側のサイド空気袋が的確に受け止めて弾性変形し、その反発力により柔らかく使用者の身体を元の仰臥姿勢に戻そうとする。【選択図】図１
