Abstract
The pool and bathtub cushion is a padded mat for protecting against injuries that are often sustained against pool or bathtub edges. A first end of the pool cushion is secured outside of the pool through the use of fasteners or weights and the second end is secured to the interior vertical pool wall through the use of suction cups. A middle section of the cushion contains a cavity that is filled with a pliable structural support member, such as wire mesh. The cushion is placed over the edge of the swimming pool so that the support member completely encompasses the swimming pool edge. The support member allows the cushion to conform to an edge of any shape. The bathtub cushion is the same, but with suction cups along both ends of the cushion for attachment to the tub wall.
