Claim 0:
1. An elastomeric composition for use in a lattice of cells of a patient support, the elastomeric composition comprising a polymer blend, the polymer blend consisting essentially of:
from 85 to 95% by weight of a first SEEPS copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 200,000 g/mol;
from 5 to 15% by weight of a second SEEPS copolymer having a weight average molecular weight ranging from 125,000 to 175,000 g/mol; and
mineral oil present in a weight ratio of mineral oil to polymer blend from 2.7:1 to 2.75:1;
wherein the sum of the first SEEPS copolymer and the second SEEPS copolymer in the polymer blend is 100 weight percent;
wherein the elastomeric composition has an indention force deflection of from 20 to 30 pounds as measured in accordance with ASTM D3574 B1 when the elastomeric composition is compressed to about 50% of its initial thickness.
