Abstract
A modular body support system that includes a foam support frame with foam inserts within the frame to provide optimal body support configuration regardless of where it is used. The inserts include slits through at least a part of the insert as well as at least one vertical cavity passing therethrough. The slits extend only partially through the pad and are surrounding and spaced from the cavity to offer additional flexibility to the wall of the cavity.
