## Abstract

A cushion is provided, including: a first recoverable layer, having a first flow passageway; a second recoverable layer, having a second flow passageway; a separation layer, located between the first and second recoverable layers, one of two ends of the separation layer having a passage, the first flow passageway, the passage and the second flow passageway forming a circulation flow passageway, the first and second recoverable layers being connected with the separation layer; a outer layer, encompassing and being connected with the first recoverable layer, the second recoverable layer and a side portion of the separation layer.

## Claims

### Claim 1
