Claim:
1. A plastic injection molded panel having a top side and a bottom side comprising at least an elastic portion, said elastic portion comprising a plurality of undulating weft stands in a first direction and a plurality of undulating warp strands in a second direction, wherein the second direction is at an angle to the first direction interlacing said warp strands, wherein the warp strands and weft strands intersect, whereby intersections of the warps strands and the weft strands form molded integrated, rigid connecting locations, said rigid connecting locations alternatingly extending between the top side and bottom side of the panel in both the first direction and the second direction such that a distance is formed between top rigid connecting locations and bottom rigid connecting locations at alternating top peaks and bottom peaks, said top peaks and said bottom peaks defining the respective top side and the bottom side, wherein warp stand portions and weft strand portions extending between said rigid connecting locations are deformable, such that upon receiving an applied load over the top or bottom side of the panel the deformation of the weft and warp strand portions extending between said rigid connecting locations decreases the distance between top side connecting locations and bottom side connecting locations and upon cessation of the applied load the panel at least partially resumes its original shape.
