A patient exam bed useful for sonograms including echocardiography exams has a mattress provided with one or more pop-up wedges as well as one or more access bays formed through a side edge of the mattress. The access bays provide reach up access to a patient from below a plane of the mattress top, and can be filled-in when not needed by movable or removable in-fill sections.

The mattress optionally might have one or more folding sections to convert the bed into more like a chair or reclining chair. Additionally, any of the various foregoing options may be enhanced with power equipment to drive the movable components through their movements.

This invention with improvements in external figure and structure based on new and different concept for pillow and chairs is intended to create practical convenience in daily life and to minimize the neck and shoulder pain created from usage of uncomfortable pillows in bed and inconvenient chair during long-distance travel. In an aspect of external figure, the invention adopts the concept of ‘ergonomic shape hole of head-insert’ which they never tried so far. As for the structure, this invention provides insert space hole on the body of applicable objects which ‘pillow / headrest’ (it has an ‘ergonomic shape hole of head-insert’) combines with, for easy process of assembly and separation between body and pillow / headrest. Additionally it is designed to maximize the portability and to accommodate the multiple usage by unifying the shape and size of ‘pillow / headrest.’ This invention promotes the convenience and practicality for everyday use of the pillow and chair. Applicable objects are: 1) bed pillows for sleeping on and pillows for leaning 2) portable pillows in outdoor camping area 3) head cushions on existing reclining chairs 4) headrest on passenger seats of long distance transportations including airplane, ship, train, bus 5) headrest on office chairs and reclining chairs 6) headrest on drivers' seats and assistant drivers' seats of automobile during rest and sleeping after reclining backward 7) headrest function of back seats of the car 8) headrest on sofas In particular, they can reuse the existing chairs by simply remodeling the product; this will be a valuable attempt to benefit both in economic aspects (saving natural resources) and eventually to increase the convenience of customers.
