ABSTRACT:
A pad positionable upon an inclined surface for supporting a recumbent human being upon the inclined surface in a manner preventing slippage of the human being thereupon. The pad comprises a generally rectangularly substrate formed of a resilient material and having opposed lateral and longitudinal sides, a top surface, and a generally planar bottom surface. Formed within the top surface of the substrate are laterally extending shoulder, tail and foot support regions. Extending between the shoulder, tail and foot support regions is a general support region. The quantity of resilient material per unit volume in the general support region is greater than the quantity of resilient material per unit volume in the shoulder, tail and foot support regions. In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, the pad may be formed with only a tail support region extending laterally between the longitudinal sides thereof and surrounded by a general support area. The tail support region will have a quantity of resilient material per unit volume that is less than the quantity of resilient material per unit volume in the general support region.
