A protective support device for supporting an object, such as a pilot's helmet, protectively encloses and supports the object. The device includes an inner shell formed of a compressive material and of an inflatable bladder. The inner shell is positioned within an outer shell, such as a bag formed of a cloth, or other, material. An object to be supported is placed within the inner shell, and the inflatable bladder of the inner shell is inflated. Inflation of the inner shell encloses and surrounds the object.
