ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic mattress overlay for supporting a recumbent human body so as to redistribute body weight away from prominent areas of the human body and also to support selected anatomical body portions, e.g., the lower extremities, of the recumbent human body has a substantially planer resilient member having top and bottom surfaces and first and second edges. Reinforcements extend from proximate the first edge to proximate the second edge of the planer resilient mender such that a patient may be rotated by grasping the reinforcements proximate the first edge of the resilient member and lifting the first edge thereof so as to cause the patient to roll toward the second edge thereof. The reinforcements prevent damage to the resilient member during lifting of the first edge. The pad is formed to have at least one area of less resistance thereon which corresponds to protruding portion(s) of a human body.
