The present invention is directed towards a seat cushion for use by a person sitting in a chair or a bed. The seat cushion includes a base layer of padded material with raised cushion areas and depressed recessed areas. The cushion areas correspond to and receive the large muscle masses of the person\s buttocks and thighs so as to distribute the person\s body weight over the large muscle masses. The recessed areas correspond to the varying body prominences of the patient, such as the ischial bone prominences, so as to receive and suspend the prominences and thereby minimize pressure thereon. The cushion areas are created by stuffing compartments formed on the base with a padding material. The compartments are contoured so as to also define the recessed areas.

A seat cushion for use by a person sitting in a chair or bed comprising: two layers of material having a normally closed perimeter edge so as to define opposite sides of a seat section; at least one contoured compartment formed between the layers of material and being stuffed with padding so as to define contoured cushioned areas corresponding to large muscle masses of the person\s buttocks and thighs so as to distribute the person\s body weight over the large muscle masses; the contoured compartment defining recessed areas void of said padding and corresponding at least to the person\s ischial bone prominences so as to minimize pressure on the prominences; the cushioned areas and recessed areas being present on both sides of the seat section; and the material being covered with exterior padding in the cushioned areas to provide further padding to the cushioned areas and the material being substantially void of exterior padding in the recessed areas to provide further recession to the recessed areas.
