Profile Bladder Technology
Profile Technology is air-cell "communication" taking place in 3-D space.
Both air-flow direction and air-flow rate can be controlled to suit your application.

Versus
a single-layer cushion configuration (center), Profile (left &
right) offers a much greater degree of specificity in controlling
cushioning effects.
For instance, in a two-layer seat cushion (left), the upper layer can
have faster flow-rate between cells to rapidly accommodate shifts in
body weight, while the lower layer can have a much slower flow-rate,
providing greater stability to the cushion over all.
Another possible configuration is three layers (right), where, like
bed-springs, cells "communicate" vertically only, except for the bottom
layer, which distributes the air to the various "columns" of cells.

Air pathways are formed, not by many sets of "hard tooling", but by patented printed release coating "circuits". This results in much lower tooling costs and allows for making inexpensive adjustments to pathway configurations should they become desirable.
