  • Patent number: 7070238
    Abstract: A custom moldable seating product includes a seat having a seat bottom and a seat back, and a moldable element for being carried by the seat. The moldable element is transformable from an initially flexible unactivated state to an activated state, such that the moldable element conforms to a seat occupant positioned on the seat. The moldable element may include a first component contained in a first compartment and a second component contained in a second compartment. The first and second compartments may be contained in an initially flexible enclosure. The first and second compartments may be ruptured to allow the first and second components to mix within the enclosure. The reaction of the first and second components create an expandable foam that conforms to a body part of a seat occupant positioned on the seat.
