Origami Inspired Collapsible Upper Body Elevated Sleeping Wedge

This device is designed for people with health conditions such as acid reflux and sleep apnea who need to sleep in an elevated position. This origami inspired device collapses to 7% of its expanded volume and easily fits inside a standard carry-on suitcase. This allows these individuals the piece of mind to travel knowing they can easily transport a sleeping wedge where ever they go.
