All the pad portions are made of a foam material, and the front and back portions as well as the right and left side portions have superimposing surfaces for being superimposed on the upper surface of the main pad portion when each of those portions are folded over on to the main pad. A recessed portion is formed in one of the upper surface of the main pad portion and the superimposing surfaces of those front and back portions as well as left and right side portions, or both of all the upper surface and superimposing surfaces thereof, whereby an air bag is stored in the cavity formed by the recessed portion(s).
