You are right Steve, to a certain extent. Mapping senses both pressure and heat and you may be tested over an hour or more to determine a base level, with tolerances. The sensing pad is like a large checkerboard with a lot more squares with sensors. Ask anyone who has been map'd if it truly made a difference and worth the effort to seek further info.

Am I the only person who questions the actual effectiveness of pressure mapping? It would seem to me that any results from pressure mapping assume that you will always be placed in your seating position exactly the same way every time, otherwise would not variations in positioning effect weight and pressure distribution? I am fairly fanatical about my positioning in my chair, but I am not always in the same position depending on who is assisting me and how long I end up being in the chair during the course of a day. Does clothing and changes in physical weight have an impact on pressure mapping? What about any changes in your cushion? I would be curious to have pressure mapping done by three different people on three different mapping devices to see if the results are the same. I suspect there would be deviations.
