The skeletal structure includes a lower section, an upper section including at least one support, and a plurality of longitudinal rods. The cushioning structure includes a rear portion and side portions, and defines at least one cavity, a plurality of longitudinal bores, and an upper surface. The lower section of the skeletal structure is disposed within the cavity of the cushioning structure, and the upper section of the skeletal structure is disposed above the upper surface of the cushioning structure. Each longitudinal rod in the plurality of longitudinal rods extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of longitudinal bores to connect the upper section with the lower section of the skeletal structure.
