Abstract

A frictionally variant seat pad comprising a top member, a bottom member, a polyester filling and a plurality of hook and loop receiving strips. The polyester filling is disposed between the top and bottom member, and the top and bottom member are secured in fixed relation to one another by means of stitching located along the perimeter of both the top and bottom members. The surface of the top member is constructed of satin, which provides a low co-efficient of friction, allowing an individual to easily slide upon the surface. The bottom member is provided with a non-slip, rubberized backing, which, due to the low co-efficient of friction afforded by the non-slip rubberized backing, grips to the surface upon which the frictionally variant seat pad rests, thereby preventing movement of the frictionally variant seat pad.
