ABSTRACT:
A custom fitted seat having internal fluid compartments whose fluid pressure may be adjusted. Each compartment is in fluid communication with adjoining compartments through a system of one-way valves. There also are release or relief valves in each compartment to reduce the fluid pressure therein and at least one fluid port inlet for the compartments. Pressurized fluid such as air, gel, water or any combination thereof, may be introduced into the compartments via the fluid port inlet by a hand operated squeeze pump. This pump may contain air or be filled with a gel or water or other fluid contained in a separate container introduced to the pump via its own inlet port. The seat components can be manufactured using the electronically heat welded vinyl process and the hand pump by the blow molding process.
