Zusammenfassung:	A personal support system (PSS) for use as a mattress or seat cushion has an intermediate layer (1a) sandwiched between upper and lower compressible support layers (2, 3). The support layer acts as a flexible, variable aspect hard-surface datum layer which can conform to a person's body. The layer may be a spacer fabric which may be essentially inextensible in its plane. The properties of flexibility and inextensibility of the spacer fabric may be isotropic. The system is particularly concerned with the support of persons susceptible to pressure (decubitus) ulcers.
