A foam overlay (A,A′) is disclosed which includes a rectangular base (C) and a plurality of individual and independently acting foam springs (B,B′). Each foam spring includes a base block (10,10′) and a polyhedron body (14,14′) atop each base block terminating in a planar support surface (12,12′). T

A foam overlay (A,A′) is disclosed which includes a rectangular base (C) and a plurality of individual and independently acting foam springs (B,B′). Each foam spring includes a base block (10,10′) and a polyhedron body (14,14′) atop each base block terminating in a planar support surface (12,12′). The foam springs are close enough to each other, yet separated sufficiently that they each act individually and independently. The foam springs may act together to support heavier portions of the body, but act independently in support of lighter body portions. Medical overlay pad (A′) includes a main support section (32) and a secondary support section (30) of shorter foam springs D. Foam springs (B′) of main section (32) support at a higher level than foam springs (D) of secondary support section (30). This allows pressure to be reduced on the lower extremities, such as the heel, during prolonged bed rest as well as on upper torso.
