This invention provides for an ultra low density gel filled deformable cushion (10) which includes a fluid impervious flexible enclosure (12) forming an internal chamber (14). Contained within the internal chamber (14) is a padding fluid composition (16) and a plurality of particulates (18) dispersed within the padding fluid composition (16). The particulates (18) are spherically contoured and have a density which is less than the density of the padding fluid composition (16) for increasing resiliency, deformability and memory of the overall composition within the cushion (10). The spherically contoured particulates are selected from the group consisting of plastic composition microspheres, ceramic composition microspheres and combinations thereof, thereby exhibiting a bounce effect in the gel.

A deformable low density gel cushion comprising: (a) a fluid impervious flexible enclosure forming an internal chamber; (b) a padding fluid composition within said internal chamber having a first predetermined density; (c) a plurality of particulates dispersed within said padding fluid composition,

A deformable low density gel cushion comprising: (a) a fluid impervious flexible enclosure forming an internal chamber; (b) a padding fluid composition within said internal chamber having a first predetermined density; (c) a plurality of particulates dispersed within said padding fluid composition, said particulates being substantially spherical in contour and having a second predetermined density less than said first predetermined density of said padding fluid composition; and (d) said gel composition has about 60-80% by weight of said padding fluid to about 20-40% by weight of said plurality of particulates wherein said spherically contoured particulates are selected from the group consisting of plastic composition microspheres, ceramic composition microspheres and combinations thereof, thereby exhibiting a bounce effect; and wherein said fluid padding composition is an emulsion selected from the group consisting of soybean oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil and mixtures thereof with water and a thickening agent.
