Compositions and methods for making a novel liquid gel mixture comprising at least one flexible polymer carrier, parachlorobenzotrifluoride, optional thermally-conductive materials, and optional performance-enhancing additives; using the liquid gel mixture for making surface-infused layers on layering substrates; and using combinations of surface-infused gel layer and layering substrate in cushioning foams and mattresses. Layering substrates are surface-infused with a liquid gel mixture and may be compressed to increase the penetration depth of liquid gel mixture into the substrate layer surface. This compositions may be used in mattresses, mattress topper pads, pillows, bedding products, furniture upholstery, pet beds, medical cushioning foams, seat cushions and backs, automotive foam, sports cushioning, transportation cushioning, headrests, arm rests, personal protective equipment, toys, and the like.

A support surface, comprising a first, substantially planar rigid surface connected to a second substantially hemispherical, substantially non-rigid portion, wherein the support surface is arranged to be positionable in at least two orientations, wherein at least one orientation provides a substantially planar support surface, and at least one other orientation provides a seating surface.

A seat cushion for improvement of sitting posture and relief from back and leg pain has a seat portion tapering down from a back end toward a narrow front or forward end. The front end is provided with a vertical projection in the nature of a pommel. The pommel or post is sufficiently large to prevent a user from comfortably crossing his or her legs.

The present invention is a seat pad (10) that includes a main component (1) having a seating surface and side components (2) disposed on both sides of the main component. The main component includes a main first pressure receiving portion (1a) and a main second pressure receiving portion (1b). The main first pressure receiving portion has a higher foam density than the side components disposed on both sides. The main component and each of the side components are a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by foam molding a foaming stock solution containing a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent, and a catalyst. The main first pressure receiving portion contains diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). Each of the side components contain tolylene diisocyanate (TDI).
