Claim Text:
1. A multi-layer anatomical padding system comprising: a layer of polymeric gel, a layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam located directly above the layer of polymeric gel, a layer of flexible polyurethane foam located directly above the layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam and having a centrally located recess, and a flexible polyurethane foam insert located within the recess, the flexible polyurethane foam insert being configured to reduce pressure upon a groin of a user seated upon the system; the layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam has an average density of between 110 Kg/m3 and 150 Kg/m3 and a specific hardness of between 34 and 44 Shore 000, the layer of flexible polyurethane foam has a density of between 68 Kg/m3 and 74 Kg/m3 and a specific hardness of between 41 and 51 Shore 000, and the flexible polyurethane foam insert has a density of between 60 Kg/m3 and 67 Kg/m3 and a hardness value which is different from the 41-51 Shore 000 of the layer of flexible polyurethane foam; wherein the layer of polymeric gel is shaped as an isosceles trapezium with rounded ends, the layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam and the layer of flexible polyurethane foam each are ovoid shaped, and the flexible polyurethane foam insert has a conical elongated shape with two opposing rounded ends wherein the insert is tapered such that a width of the insert decreases from one end to the other, the recess having the same shape as the flexible polyurethane foam insert; and wherein the layer of flexible polyurethane foam and the flexible polyurethane foam insert occupy approximately half of the total volume of the padding system and the layer of viscoelastic polyurethane foam together with the layer of polymeric gel occupy approximately the remaining half of the total volume of the padding system.
