Cushions having internal support member

A cushion comprising:

• (a) a relatively soft generally rectangular and generally solid resilient foam cushion body having a generally planar front surface as an occupant contacting surface, the cushion body further having a transverse centerline such that about half the cushion body is above said transverse centerline and about half the cushion body lies below said transverse centerline;
• said cushion body including lumbar support means therein for providing special support to a key area of a user's body without distending the generally planar front surface of the cushion body;
• said lumbar support means comprising;
• (b) a single horizontal generally semi-cylindrically shaped hollow means on the cushion side which is opposite the generally planar front surface
• (c) a firm foam support member, shaped and sized to fit in the hollow means of the cushion body, said firmer foam support member having a generally convex front, the hollow means being shaped, sized, and positioned to support the lumbar region of the user's back in a relatively natural lordotic lumbar curve when filled with the support member, wherein the front of the firmer foam support member is more convex than the front surface of the cushion body, with substantially all or at least 70% of the hollow means and firm foam support member lying below the transverse centerline on said cushion body.

A cushion comprising:

• (a) a relatively soft generally rectangular and generally solid resilient foam cushion body having a generally planar front face as an occupant contacting surface, the cushion body further having a transverse centerline such that about half the cushion body is above said transverse centerline and about half the cushion body lies below said transverse centerline;
• (b) a firmer foam support member generally in the shape of a deformed cylinder, said firmer foam support member having a generally convex front, said generally convex front being shaped to support an occupant's lumbar region in a relatively natural lordotic curve;
• and
• (c) a single horizontal void means in the cushion body for receiving the firmer foam support member within the cushion body without distending the generally planar front face of the cushion body,
• the horizontal void means being shaped, sized and positioned to receive the support member in a manner that the cushion supports the occupant's lumbar region in a relatively natural lordotic curve when filled with the support member, wherein the front of the firmer foam support member is more convex than the front face of the cushion body, with substantially all or at least 70% of the horizontal void means and firm foam support member lying below the transverse centerline on said cushion body.
