Seat cushion system

Abstract

A seat cushion system for improving the overall distribution of body weight of a user. The seat cushion system includes a foam member having an outer edge, and a covering attached about an exterior surface of the foam member. The foam member is carved into having a curved outer edge along with a carved design within an upper surface of the foam member. The covering is comprised of a vinyl-based material that is sprayed upon the exterior surface of the carved foam member in a splattered pattern. The splattering pattern of the covering creates a shingle effect that prevents moisture from entering the foam member while allowing the foam member to breath. The vinyl-based covering is elastic allowing the foam member to conform to the shape of the user's body without interference.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A seat cushion system, comprising: 
 a foam member having an outer edge, an upper surface and a lower surface; and    a covering completely surrounding said foam member, wherein said covering is formed to conform to the shape and size of the exterior surface of said foam member.    
     
     
         2 . The seat cushion system of  claim 1 , wherein said foam member is comprised of a polyurethane foam.  
     
     
         3 . The seat cushion system of  claim 2 , wherein said covering is comprised of a vinyl-based material having a high elasticity.  
     
     
         4 . The seat cushion system of  claim 3 , wherein said covering is sprayed upon said foam member in layers forming an air permeable and moisture resistant surface.  
     
     
         5 . The seat cushion system of  claim 4 , wherein said outer edge is curved.  
     
     
         6 . The seat cushion system of  claim 5 , including a carved design within said foam member.  
     
     
         7 . The seat cushion system of  claim 6 , wherein said carved design extends into said upper surface of foam member, wherein said covering conforms to said carved design.  
     
     
         8 . The seat cushion system of  claim 7 , wherein said foam member is rectangular shaped.  
     
     
         9 . The seat cushion system of  claim 8 , wherein said upper surface is flat.  
     
     
         10 . The seat cushion system of  claim 9 , wherein said carved design extends into said upper surface.  
     
     
         11 . A method of manufacturing a seat cushion, said method comprising the steps of: 
 (a) providing a foam member having a flat outer edge, an upper surface, and a lower surface, wherein said foam member has a rectangular shape;    (b) carving said foam member to create a curved outer edge;    (c) spraying a liquid covering upon an exterior surface of said foam member; and    (d) curing said liquid covering.    
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacturing a seat cushion of  claim 11 , wherein said step of carving said foam member includes carving a carved design into said foam member.  
     
     
         13 . The method of manufacturing a seat cushion of  claim 12 , wherein said covering is comprised of a vinyl-based elastic material.  
     
     
         14 . The method of manufacturing a seat cushion of  claim 13 , wherein said foam material is comprised of a polyurethane foam.
