ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a fabric covered cushion includes the steps of coating one side of a stretchable fabric with gel/foam in order to make said fabric resistant to passage of air therethrough, disposing the coated fabric over a mold adapted for vacuum forming the cooled fabric and positioning at least one strap member in the mold with a portion of the strap member extending beyond a boundary of the mold. Thereafter, a vacuum is applied between the mold and the fabric in order to stretch the fabric and cause intimate contact between the fabric and the mold. An additional volume of foam is deposited on the fabric coating while the vacuum is being applied in order to enable bonding between the additional volume of gel/foam, the coated fabric and strap member. The additional gel/foam is allowed to set and bond with the fabric and the strap member, and a fabric covered cushion is removed from the mold having the selected contour.
