In an inflatable body support (10) formed from a pair of plastic sheets (12 and 14) joined together forming an air pressurizable chamber (15), the sheets having a plurality of aligned holes (16) extending therethrough with the sheets being joined together around the circumference (18) of each hole (16) allowing heat and moisture to flow through each hole (16) but preventing air flow from the chamber into each hole, thereby providing an air cushion for supporting a person positioned thereatop that dissipates pressure, heat and moisture to prevent the onset of pressure sores and ulcers, the improvement comprising: occluding the holes over which the torso, head and limbs of a person positioned atop the inflatable body support (10) would not lie, thereby reducing the distension of the inflatable body support (10) surrounding the occluded holes thereby volume centering the air within the air pressurizable chamber under a person positioned atop the inflatable body support (10); providing novel U-shaped anchoring straps and a novel connector. |
