A mattress pad positionable atop a rectangular mattress which better
accommodates diverse weights and sizes of the human anatomy for enhanced
comfort. The mattress pad includes a flexible air tight bottom sheet
having a size and shape substantially similar to that of a top surface of
the mattress. A flexible air tight top sheet is connected to the bottom
sheet by peripheral heat or ultrasonic weld sealing along common
perimeter side, head and foot margins. A plurality of generally
side-by-side body supporting chambers are each defined by peripheral
sealing lines and spaced lines of continuous sealing which interconnect
the top and bottom sheets. Each air chamber is individually and
selectively fillable with pressurized air and thus capable of localized
pressurization within the chamber. Preselected nominal thicknesses of
each of the chambers provides the comfort and accommodation to each
portion of the human anatomy.
