Abstract
A seat cushion assembly includes a first foam pad defining at least one air cooling column disposed therethrough. A topper pad is disposed over the first foam pad and the at least one air cooling column. A second foam pad is disposed below the first foam pad. The second foam pad and the first foam pad define a flow channel in fluid communication with the at least one air cooling column. An air mover moves air from an air intake of the flow channel to an air exhaust of the flow channel.

A seat cushion assembly comprising:
- a first foam pad defining, at least in part, at least two vertically elongate air cooling columns disposed therethrough;
- a topper pad disposed over the first foam pad and the at least two air cooling columns;
- a second foam pad disposed below the first foam pad, the second foam pad and the first foam pad defining a flow channel in fluid communication with the at least two air cooling columns;
- and
- an air mover moving air from an air intake of the flow channel to an air exhaust of the flow channel;
- wherein at least one of the first foam pad and the second foam pad comprises an L-shaped section and the other of the first foam pad and the second foam pad comprises a protruding portion section that together with the L-shaped section defines at least a portion of the flow channel that interconnects the at least two air cooling columns.
