What is claimed is: 1. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, the pad comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width and a top surface and a bottom surface; a unitary supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second patient support surface dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface, the supplemental portion having a top surface and a bottom surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface, wherein the at least one living hinge includes a hinge configured to rotate the top surface of the supplemental portion toward the top surface of the main portion, and wherein the pad is rectangular and the at least one living hinge includes one or more living hinges disposed laterally in the pad. 2. The pad of claim 1 wherein the main portion and supplemental portion are collectively dimensioned to substantially cover a bed as the second patient support surface. 3. The pad of claim 1 wherein the main portion is dimensioned to substantially cover a patient moving apparatus having a width of about 2.5 feet as the first patient support surface. 4. The pad of claim 1 wherein the pad has a thickness in a range of about 1 inch to 3 inches. 5. The pad of claim 1 wherein the pad is rectangular and the at least one living hinge includes one or more living hinges disposed longitudinally in the pad. 6. The pad of claim 1 wherein the pad has a bottom surface configured to be engaged by a system for transferring a body from the first patient support surface to the second patient support surface. 7. The pad of claim 1 wherein at least one of the main portion and the supplemental portion are pressure adjustable. 8. The pad of claim 1 wherein at least one of the main portion and supplemental portion comprises a gel pad, a memory foam pad, or a combination thereof. 9. The pad of claim 1 wherein at least one of the main portion and supplemental portion is formed of a pad material that includes at least one characteristic from a group of characteristics comprising radiolucent, antimicrobial, latex free, and anti-bacterial. 10. The pad of claim 1 further comprising at least one draw-strap. 11. The pad of claim 1 further comprising a securing mechanism configured to secure the pad to at least one of the first patient support surface, the second support surface, a bed, a chair and a patient moving apparatus. 12. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, the pad comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width and a top surface and a bottom surface; a unitary supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second patient support surface dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface, the supplemental portion having a top surface and a bottom surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface, wherein the pad is rectangular and the at least one living hinge includes one or more living hinges disposed laterally in the pad. 13. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width and a top surface and a bottom surface; at least one removable pad disposed within the main portion, wherein the removable pad is configured to fill an opening formed through the main portion; a unitary supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second patient support surface dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface, the supplemental portion having a top surface and a bottom surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface, wherein the at least one living hinge includes a hinge configured to rotate the top surface of the supplemental portion toward the top surface of the main portion. 14. The pad of claim 13 wherein the at least one removable pad includes a pressure adjustable removable pad. 15. The pad of claim 13 wherein the at least one removable pad includes a removable foot pad, a bed pan pad, or both. 16. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, the pad comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width; a supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second patient support surface dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface; at least one removable pad disposed within the main portion, wherein the removable pad is configured to fill an opening formed through the main portion; and a securing mechanism configured to secure the pad to at least one of the first patient support surface, the second support surface, a bed, a chair and a patient moving apparatus. 17. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, the pad comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width; a supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second patient support surface dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface, wherein the at least one living hinge includes one or more living hinges disposed laterally in the pad and one or more living hinges disposed longitudinally in the pad. 18. A pad adaptable for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, the pad comprising: a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first patient support surface, the main portion having a length greater than its width and comprising at least one removable pad, wherein the removable pad is configured to fill an opening formed through the main portion, a supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover the second patient support surface, which is dimensioned larger than the first patient support surface; and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to self-adapt the pad for use between the first patient support surface and second patient support surface, wherein the pad is configured to self-adapt between the first patient surface and a second patient surface having different dimensions than the first patient surface. 19. The pad of claim 18 wherein the at least one removable pad includes a pressure adjustable removable pad. 20. The pad of claim 18 wherein the at least one removable pad includes a removable foot pad, a bed pan pad, or both. 21.
