Abstract
A support cushion includes a tub defining a well and a plurality of foam arches positioned in the well. Each foam arch includes an upper curved portion, and each foam arch is positioned in the well such that each upper curved portion is opposite a bottom panel of the tub. A body supporting layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface is positioned over the well and atop the plurality of flexible foam arches.
Claims24
A support cushion, comprising:
- a tub including a flat bottom panel and a sidewall collectively defining a well;
- a plurality of foam arches positioned in the well, each foam arch including an upper curved portion, an inner surface, an outer surface, and two end surfaces, and each foam arch positioned in the well such that each upper curved portion is opposite the bottom panel of the tub and the two end surfaces are positioned against the flat bottom panel of the tub, and such that the outer surface of each foam arch is positioned adjacent to and in contact with an outer surface of another one of the plurality of foam arches along a length of the outer surface extending from the upper curved portion to a respective one of the two end surfaces of each foam arch;
- and
- a body supporting layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the second surface positioned over the well and atop the plurality of flexible foam arches,
- wherein the inner surface of each foam arch is connected to itself to maintain a shape of each foam arch.
