ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A body support member for spacing a body above a sup- porting structure which comprises a sheet of resilient plastic material permanently deformed to produce downwardly disposed, laterally spaced, elongated protuberances distributed over a body support area for engaging the supporting surface, adjacent elongated protuberances being complementary in shape with each one having a plurality of reversed direction portions along its length, the reversed direction portions in adjacent protuberances being in overlapping relation in the plane of the body support area looking in the direction the elongated protuberances ex- tend, whereby the body support area of the member will resist flexing along all lines traversing the body support area. Where desired, the resiliency of the plastic material of the body sup- port member can be such that the reversed direction portions of the elongated protuberances incorporate an inherent spring-like action under the weight of a supported body to cushion the same. Ornamental cover material may be applied over the top and/or bottom of the body support member. The body support member is so designed that it can be vacuum or pressure molded and is there- fore stackable in large numbers for shipment and storage. The body support member may have joined to the lower portions of the elongated protuberances a second sheet of plastic material which is flat or a second sheet of plastic material which has upwardly disposed elongated protuberances which can be complementary in shape to the elongated protuberances of the body support member joined to the lower portions of the downwardly disposed elongated protuberances of the body support member.
