A seat cushion mold with an elastic member and method provide the manufacture of an improved seat cushion for use in upholstered chairs or the like having a smooth, uniform shape without unsightly underlines. A thick, resilient foam block is positioned on a rigid planer base and is urged into the mold whereby a thin foam cover layer is adhered to the outer edges of the planar base to produce a precisely contoured cushion which can be upholstered and fitted to a chair frame.

A method for forming a cushion having a smooth bottom surface using a mold having an elastic member attached along its periphery to rigid frame members having vertical inner edges, said method comprising the steps of: (a) placing at least one resilient block on the top surface of a flat rigid planar base having vertical edges; (b) positioning a cover layer, said cover layer having a width greater than the width of said planar base, atop said resilient block; (c) placing said cover layer, said resilient block, and said planar base onto said elastic member so that the bottom surface of said planar base is exposed and so that the vertical edges of said planar base generally oppose the vertical inner edges of said rigid frame members; (d) pressing said bottom surface of said planar base to force said cover layer, said resilient block and said planar base into said elastic member; (e) deflecting said elastic member to thereby mold said cover layer and said resilient block; (f) forcing said cover layer against the vertical edges of said planar base as said cover layer is pressed into said elastic member; (g) attaching said cover layer to the vertical edge of said planar base with the excess cover layer extending beyond the bottom surface of said planar base, to form a seat cushion; and (h) trimming the excess of said cover layer flush with the bottom surface of said planar base to provide a seat cushion having a flat smooth bottom surface.
