Abstract
A multilayer supplemental support pad includes a generally planar layer of foam surrounded by fabric material. Lateral stitching forms channels in the pad to facilitate rolling up of the pad for storage and transportation. Elastic straps secure the rolled up pad. Other straps may be used when the pad is unrolled to secure the pad to a chaise lounge or other support surface. Different types of fabrics and pads of different dimensions may be used to provide pads for alternative purposes. When used as a chaise lounge pad, an approximately one-half inch thick layer of foam cut into a twenty inch by seventy inch rectangle is preferred, with cotton terry cloth fabric on at least one side of the pad. Fabric edging stitched to the periphery of the pad reinforces lateral edges of the main stitching.
