[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the prone mat 10 is used to support the body of a user in a prone position to reduce the pressure on the elbows, shoulders, neck and pelvis caused by the prone position. The prone mat 10 includes a rear end 60, a front end 70, at least one layer of a pad body and at least one height-adjusting leg 30. The at least one layer of the pad body includes a first layer of a pad body 12 and a second layer of a pad body 20, the first layer of the pad body 12 and the second layer of the pad body 20 are bonded together, and the second layer of the pad body 20 is located on the bottom surface of the first layer of the pad body 12. A receiving cavity 24 is provided on the bottom surface of the second layer of the pad body 20, and at least one height-adjusting leg 30 is detachably installed in the receiving cavity 24 of the second layer of the pad body 20. As shown in FIG. Figure 3 , 7 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , a fastener 36 is provided on the accommodating cavity 24, and the height adjustment leg 30 is detachably mounted in the accommodating cavity 24 through the fastener 36 for easy storage and transportation. The fastener 36 adopts a hook-and-loop structure, a magnetic adsorption structure, or other similar fastening structures. In other embodiments, the accommodating cavity 24 may also adopt an external storage structure instead of being arranged on the prone mat 10 body.

[0033] Furthermore, the back cushion cover 40 is included, and the back cushion cover 40 is covered on the first layer of cushion body 12 and the second layer of cushion body 20. In this embodiment, the back cushion cover 40 is integrated with the prone mat 10 to protect the prone mat 10 from stains and mold. In other embodiments, the back cushion cover 40 can be removed from the prone mat 10 for easy cleaning.

[0034] Furthermore, a leg cover 50 is included, and the leg cover is covered on each height adjustment leg 30. In this embodiment, the leg cover 50 is integrated with the height adjustment leg 30 to protect the height adjustment leg 30 from stains and mold. In other embodiments, the leg cover 50 can be removed from the height adjustment leg 30 for easy cleaning.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first layer of the cushion body 12 is located on top of the second layer of the cushion body 20 so that the user can lie down and position when using it. The first layer of the cushion body 12 includes a neck support portion 14 disposed on the rear end 60 of the prone pad 10, and the neck support portion 14 is tilted downward toward the rear end 60 of the prone pad 10 and slightly convex. The first layer of the cushion body 12 also includes a slightly extended trunk support portion 16, which is tilted downward from the rear edge of the neck support portion 14 and tilted to the front end 70 of the prone pad 10 to reach the lowest height. Figure 6 As shown, the width of the first layer of pad 12 is narrowed at the connection between the neck support portion 14 and the trunk support portion 16, and then widened again near the front edge of the neck support portion 14, so that the user's arms and shoulders can be comfortably fixed when lying in a prone position.

[0036] The trunk support portion 16 is slightly concave or easily deformable at a position away from the neck support portion 14 , so that it can adapt to the pelvis of the user and put the pelvis in a comfortable state.

[0037] like Fig. 9 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the second layer of cushion body 20 is approximately pentagonal, and the second layer of cushion body 20 has a flat bottom surface, on which a receiving cavity 24 is arranged. In addition to the above, the second layer of cushion body 20 of any shape or size shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The angle and length of the second layer of cushion body 20 are approximately the angle and length of the trunk support portion 16 on the first layer of cushion body 12, and the maximum height of the second layer of cushion body 20 is located at the connection between the neck support portion 14 and the trunk support portion 16 on the first layer of cushion body 12, and the second layer of cushion body 20 extends downward at a certain angle from the maximum height.

[0038] The first layer of cushion body 12 includes a sponge material, such as a memory foam infused with charcoal, and the density of the first layer of cushion body 12 can be adjusted along its length, for example, the sponge seal of the neck support portion 14 is less dense than the sponge density of the torso support portion 16. Although there are various structures that can achieve different densities, in this embodiment, it is achieved by providing a plurality of holes 18 on the first layer of cushion body 12. Figure 6 As shown, the holes on the neck support portion 14 are denser than the holes on the trunk support portion 16, so that the density of the trunk support portion 16 is reduced and the density of the neck support portion 14 is increased. The provision of multiple holes 18 can also achieve air circulation and improve the heat dissipation of the prone mat 10. The first layer of the pad body 12 is set to an ergonomic shape to adapt to and support the user's upper body, including the neck, arms, chest, abdomen and pelvis, so that the user can maintain a healthy and comfortable prone posture for a long time.

[0039] The material of the second layer of cushion body 20 is denser than that of the first layer of cushion body 12 . Specifically, the second layer of cushion body 20 can be made of sponge material or hard material such as metal plate or hard plastic plate, so that the second layer of cushion body 20 has stronger supporting force.

[0040] like Fig.10 As shown, the height adjustment leg 30 includes a rigid first adjustment leg and a second adjustment leg, and the purpose of height adjustment is achieved by stacking the adjustment legs. In other embodiments, the height adjustment leg 30 can be replaced by some known structures with height adjustment functions such as gears, panels, inflatable or springs.

[0041] When using the prone mat 10, the user can place the prone mat 10 on a suitable plane, and then lean on the prone mat 10 in a prone position, wherein the user's neck leans on the neck support portion 14 and the body leans on the trunk support portion 16. Fig.10 As shown, if the prone mat 10 is too low, the height-adjusting leg 30 can be removed from the fastener 36 of the accommodating cavity 24 , and then replaced with another height-adjusting leg 30 of a different height to adjust the height of the prone mat 10 .

[0042] Although the prone mat 10 is described as a prone positioning mat, the content disclosed in the present invention does not limit the prone mat 10 to be used only as a prone positioning mat. For example, the prone mat 10 has another use, and the prone mat 10 can be used as a backrest by leaning against a vertical plane.

[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field may make partial changes or modifications to the technical contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present invention, and the equivalent embodiments without departing from the technical features of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical features of the present invention.
