Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a seat cushion for use by a person sitting in a chair or a bed. The seat cushion includes a base layer of padded material with raised cushion areas and depressed recessed areas. The cushion areas correspond to and receive the large muscle masses of the person's buttocks and thighs so as to distribute the person's body weight over the large muscle masses. The recessed areas correspond to the varying body prominences of the patient, such as the ischial bone prominences, so as to receive and suspend the prominences and thereby minimize pressure thereon. The cushion areas are created by stuffing compartments formed on the base with a padding material. The compartments are contoured so as to also define the recessed areas.
