Abstract
A resilient padding body which comprises an intermediate base layer and upper protruberances extending upwardly off the surface of the base layer and bottom protruberances extending downwardly off a lower surface of the base layer. The padding body includes longitudinal and lateral upper recesses which are formed between the upper protruberances. The upper protruberances have side walls which slope inwardly to form an object which is in the shape of a trancated pyramid and angled recesses. The base of the upper protruberances is essentially coplanar with the base member's upper surface. The base of each upper protruberance is separated by a slit which extends into the base member for about one half of the base member's thickness. The bottom protruberances include foundation sections which have vertical side walls. The foundation sections are spaced sufficiently to form a narrow channel between adjacent foundation section walls. A truncated pyramid shaped lower section extends downwardly off each of the foundation sections to form longitudinal and lateral angled recesses which open into the channels.
