Abstract
A formable cushion is produced by providing a mold having a first cavity and the second cavity in a fluid communication with one another, with the first cavity having a greater depth than the second cavity. A first volume of foam/gel is deposited into the first and second cavities in an amount providing a level surface of foam/gel. The level surface is covered with a formable sheet and the second volume of foam/gel is disposed onto the formable sheet. Thereafter, heat and pressure applied to the first and second volume of foam/gel within the mold in order to provide a cushion having a relatively firm back pliable layer, a relatively firm mouse pad and a conjoining relatively soft compressible cushion.
