A supporting device such as, for instance, a cushion, comprising a space formed by a flexible envelope and filled with a plurality of elements. The elements in the space are movable relative to each other and each consist of a gas-filled, flexible and thin-walled covering of gastight design, so that the elements are deformable for distributing a load over the supporting device. The covering of a number of elements is manufactured from at least substantially nonelastic material. These elements are each filled with the gas for 50-98 percent of their maximum volume and have a volume of from 10 cm<3> to 100 cm<3>. <IMAGE> |
