ABSTRACT:
A body support for immobile persons comprising a series of parallel, elongate resilient cushions, with adjacent cushions tilted in opposite directions to vary the areas of support provided to a person thereon to prevent development of bed sores and other related problems. The tilting cushions, in moving in alternate directions, in addition to shifting lift from one cushion edge to the other, reciprocatively approach and move away from their neighbours in a movement which provides a massaging effect.
