A structure for use in a compressible resilient pad. The structure contains both axially elastomeric strands and relatively inelastic strands co-extruded in various patterns. The structure has a high degree of both compressibility under an applied normal load and excellent recovery (resiliency or spring back) upon removal of that load.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lightweight composite material structure while suppressing a drop in strength. In a composite material structure, which is configured as a fiber-reinforced plastic composite material extending in one direction and having a plurality of holes (5) formed at intervals in a row in the one direction and which is subjected to a tensile load and/or a compressive load in the one direction, a peripheral region (3a) around the holes (5) comprises a first area (10) obtained by bending composite material, which is reinforced using continuous fibers that have been made even in the longitudinal direction, so that the center line of the width (W) of the composite material weaves between adjacent holes (5) and zigzags in the one direction. The tensile rigidity and/or compressive rigidity in the one direction of the peripheral region (3a) around the holes (5) is lower than the tensile rigidity and/or the compressive rigidity in the one direction of the other regions (3b) that surround the peripheral regions (3a).
