ABSTRACT:
A contoured cellular cushion has a base and flexible cells, which are inflatable, projecting upwardly from the base. The base is rectangular and the cells are arranged in front-to-rear and transverse rows upon its. Moreover, the cells are preferably organized into two zones--an outer zone and an inner zone--with the cells of each zone being interconnected amongst themselves, but not with the cells of the other zone. The outer zone includes long cells which lie along the sides of the base in side sections and also in an abductor section between the side sections near the front margin. The shorter cells of the inner zone occupy the remainder of the base and produce a depression between the side sections and behind the abductor section of the outer zone, and troughs on each side of the abductor section. When one sits upon the cushion, the side sections of the outer zone cradle the individual such that the boney protuberances of the buttocks rest on the short cells of the depression, while the thighs extend through the troughs, being spread slightly by the abductor section. The contour formed by the cells of varying length is ideally suited for seating. All of the cells may be in communication in a single zone.
