(54) Support cushion


(57) Support cushion (2,16,17,18,24,33) for a chair or the like. Such support (2,16,17,18,24,33) cushion is of cruciform shape and can be curved along four folding lines (3-6), thus producing a backrest part (9), a seat part (8), a leg part (7) and two armrest parts (10) adjoining the seat part (8). This can be used in combination with seating furniture, such as a chair, wheelchair or the like. It is proposed to vary the thickness of the cushions of the support cushion (2,16,17,18,24,33) depending on the desired degree of support for the seated person. This may be achieved by using support cushions of different sizes on the basis of a certain size of the seating furniture. It is also possible to provide the support cushion with a cover (13) into which filling material is introduced. The filling material may comprise different filling cushions and these may be fitted in a removable manner. The properties may be changed by replacing the entire contents of the cover (13), that is to say the filling, with a filling having different properties or by only changing parts of said filling. In addition, it is possible to provide the support cushion (2,16,17,18,24,33) with hoisting straps, as a result of which said support cushion can be used in combination with a hoist lift or the like.
