A warmer for treatment of the feet, neck, and lower back area includes a frame for holding a bladder. An open-cell foam-filled cushion is disposed within the bladder and a cover having opposite ends secured to the frame overlies the bladder so that the bladder holds its shape regardless of its orientation. An opening in a top wall of the bladder allows the charging of water into the bladder. The water fills the bladder and occupies the interstitial spaces of the cushion. The frame includes a flat base that is inclined slightly relative to a horizontal support surface and that flat base supports the bladder. The foam-filled bladder conforms to the soles of feet when the warmer is used as a foot rest. When used as a pillow, the bladder conforms to a person's head and neck, and it conforms to the lower back region when the warmer is positioned in a substantially vertical orientation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A warmer for feet, the neck, and lower back area, comprising:a frame;a bladder supported by said frame;said bladder having a predetermined shape;an open-celled foam cushion having interstitial spaces disposed within said bladder, said foam cushion having substantially the same predetermined size and shape of said bladder;said bladder holding a predetermined quantity of liquid;said predetermined quantity of liquid filling said bladder and occupying said interstitial spaces of said open-celled foam cushion;said open-celled foam cushion having an inherent bias that maintains its own shape and said predetermined shape of said bladder as well when said bladder is positioned in differing orientations,a flexible cover disposed in overlying relation to said bladder;said flexible cover being secured at opposite ends to said frame to secure said bladder to said frame;said cover cooperating with said open-celled foam cushion to maintain said predetermined shape of said bladder when said bladder is placed into said differing preselected orientations.
