Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a body support system that includes different foam layers with different support characteristics. The system also includes a second support member with a third foam layer and a fourth foam layer, which can provide better support than the first foam layer. The first and second foam layers can be easily removed and replaced in different chambers. Additionally, the patent describes a method for making a foam apparatus by adding a layer of liquid gel to a foam layer and curing it to form a layer of solid gel. The technical effects of this patent include improved support for the body and better cushioning for comfort.

Problems solved by technology

A single conventional body support product is thus not adjustable for use by multiple users who have a different needed or desired amount or quality of support.
