A bathtub cushion is formed of a resilient material, such as a closed cell plastic foam. The cushion covers the interior of the bottom of the tub, extending upwardly to cover the interior walls of the tub and the edges or rim of the tub. The cushion may be formed as a sheet of uniform thickness, on the order of one to two inches thick, or may alternatively be formed with a thinner bottom portion and thicker upper walls and upper edge, to better cushion any impact of a bather who might slip in the tub. The cushion is removably secured within the tub by suction cups disposed about the entire tub contact surface of the cushion, and includes drainage grooves formed in the upper surface of the bottom portion to facilitate drainage. The cushion may also include a head rest, which may include a radio, cassette deck, or other audio system therein, as desired. The cushion may be formed to fit within a conventional generally rectangular or oval bathtub, and may also be configured to fit within a hot tub having a round or other shape. The present cushion adds a significant measure of safety for a bather, with its high friction surface to reduce slippage and the thickly cushioned upper edge to reduce the likelihood of injury in the event of a fall. A significant increase in comfort is also provided by the padding and optional headrest and audio system.
