A support system (A) including a cushion (B) uniformly distributing the weight of an individual and uniformly circulating air along the individual's body. The cushion (B) has porosity and air cells (4) which project upwardly from the base (2) and are in communication through the base (2) so that all exist at the same air pressure. The system includes a distributor (20) beneath the cushion base (2) and a duct (30) which connects to one side of the distributor (20). The distributor (20) has a plurality of blunted pillars (24) which support the cushion (B) above the distributor base (22) and create a distribution and access chamber (F) beneath the cushion base (2). The duct (30) can have a vertical section (34, 40) connected to a container (42) for collecting liquids. A blower (D) discharges conditioned air into the distribution chamber (20) through the duct (30). The air escapes through cushion base apertures (14). |
