Patent ID: 7681265

Claim:
A cellular cushion comprising: a base comprising at least a first layer and a second layer, said first layer comprises a substantially planar lower surface and an upper surface that is opposite said lower surface, said second layer comprises a substantially planar lower surface and a substantially planar upper surface that is opposite said second layer lower surface; and a plurality of hollow cells coupled to said base and extending outwardly from said first layer upper surface within at least one region, each of said plurality of cells within each said region are coupled together in flow communication, each of said plurality of cells comprises a hollow body portion and an outer surface, said plurality of cells are spaced across said base such that said plurality of cell outer surfaces cooperate to define a contoured seat, at least one of said plurality of cell outer surfaces is oriented obliquely in a first direction and at least one of said plurality of cell outer surfaces is oriented obliquely in a second direction that is different from the first direction, at least one of said plurality of cells having an outer surface oriented only in the first direction and at least one of said plurality of cells having an outer surface oriented only in the second direction, the contoured seat is configured to cradle a portion of a user, an outer surface of at least some of said plurality of cells is at least one of oriented obliquely with respect to said base and is non-planar.
