A foam product includes a foam core, a foam buffer and a foam skin. The foam core includes a top surface and a bottom surface and defines at least one recess in an area of the top surface wherein the area is to be imparted during use with respect to other areas of the top surface. The foam buffer is more elastic than the foam core and is securely received in the recess of the foam core. In addition, the foam skin is bonded to and entirely covers a top surface of the foam buffer and the other areas of the foam core.
1. A foam product comprising:
a foam core comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, and defining at least one recess in an area of the top surface wherein the area is to be impacted during use with respect to other areas of the top surface;
a foam buffer being more elastic than the foam core and being securely received in the recess of the foam core; and
a first foam skin bonded to and entirely covering a top surface of the foam buffer and the other areas of the foam core.
2. The foam product of claim 1 further comprising a first patterned laminate bonded to the first foam skin wherein the first patterned laminate includes an inner plastic film, an outer plastic film and a pattern laminated between the inner and outer plastic films and being visible from outside of the outer plastic film.
3. The foam product of claim 1 further comprising a second foam skin laminated to the bottom surface of the foam core, wherein the first and second foam skins are made of same material with same density.
4. The foam product of claim 3 wherein the foam core, the foam buffer, the first foam skin and the second foam skin are made of polyethylene foam; and the density of the first foam skin is greater than that of the foam core but less than that of the foam buffer.
5. The foam product of claim 2 further comprising a second foam skin laminated to the bottom surface of the foam core, wherein the first and second foam skins are made of same material with same density.
6. The foam product of claim 5 further comprising a second patterned laminate bonded to the second foam skin wherein the second patterned laminate includes an inner plastic film, an outer plastic film and a pattern laminated between the inner and outer plastic films and being visible from outside of the outer plastic film.
7. The foam product of claim 6 further comprising a plastic plate laminated to the outer plastic film of the second patterned laminate; the plastic plate being thicker than the first patterned laminate; and the pattern of the second patterned laminate being visible from outside of the plastic plate.
8. The foam product of claim 1 further comprising a bonding medium wherein the foam core is made of non-polyethylene foam; and the first foam skin and the foam buffer are made of polyethylene foam and bonded to the foam core via the bonding medium.
9. The foam product of claim 8 wherein the foam core is made from a material selected from the group of polystyrene foam and polypropylene foam.
