The domes include a base portion defining a generally hemispherical segment having a base radius, and a cap portion defining a generally hemispherical cap having a cap radius. The cap radius is less than the base radius. The cushioning assembly may include a load distribution structure positioned adjacent the cap portions of the domes to distribute an applied load across the domes.
