Is this the best invention ever? Eh... yeah, we’re inclined to think so. A man who is sympathetic to the pain women feel in the chest area when they lie on their stomach has created a special pillow that’s taking the internet by storm.
Michael Riley, a man from California, was inspired to design his Comfy Breasts Relaxation System after he met a woman who was unable to sleep properly after undergoing a double mastectomy during her battle with breast cancer.
Michael spent one year researching and designing his comfort pillow and is now asking for sponsership on the website Kickstarter.com. Michael claims that when using his pillow women “do not feel any pressure or pain in your breasts, for the first time in your life.”

The pillow has a padded hole designed to support your boobs
The pillow, which has been described as being “ideal for breast cancer survivors and massage clients” is made of foam and has a supportive hole cut in the chest area. This padded hole allows your boobs to hang there, without any pressure or discomfort to your chest. Amazing right? The wonders of modern technology!

“I knew it had to be done, for breast cancer survivors, and so many other women who couldn’t lay down on their stomach because it was either too painful, or just plain hurt due to their breasts being smashed into the surface they were laying down on,” said Michael.
Michael has also made a male version of the pillow in order to give men with beer bellies a way to relax while lying on their stomachs.
It’s a slightly strange concept, but it’s also a pretty great idea – especially for women recovering from breast cancer. We can definitely see this taking off...
