A cushion e.g. for a vehicle seat comprises a resilient compressible deformable body (40), such as a polyurethane foam block, which has an indented design (44) formed in a surface (46) thereof, and a flexible stretchable membrane (42), either of cloth or plastic, which covers the body surface (46), follows the contours of the indented design (44) and is adhesively secured thereto. The cushion is manufactured by forcing (i) the body (40) which is preformed with the indented design into the flexible stretchable membrane (42) which is heated to about 250 to 300 DEG F and has an adhesive (48) on one side thereof, and (ii) the body and membrane into a fixture having a die cavity generally conforming in size and shape to the body (40) but including projections which correspond in shape to but are of greater height than the design indentations (44) in the body (40). After several minutes, cooling occurs, the membrane takes a set and the adhesive cures to cause good adhesion, and the finished cushion is then removed from the die cavity. <IMAGE> |
