A pressure point relief system for use in a patient resting surface, such as a mattress, that has different firmness ratings in different areas of the surface of the mattress which correspond to different points of a patient's body. The pressure point relief device has at least one first foam strip of a predetermined firmness, and at least one second foam strip having a firmness greater than that of the first foam strip and positioned adjacent to the first foam strip so as to form a smooth transition from a surface of the first foam strips to a surface of the second foam strips. In addition, at least one foam truss portion is positioned adjacent to the first and second foam strips so as to provide a smooth transition from the surface of the first and second foam strips to a surface of the truss system thereby forming a substantially planar surface. The substantially planar surface of the pressure point relief system has different firmness ratings in different areas of the planar surface which correspond to different points of the patient's body.
