Abstract
The cushion problem is the following. Let M be an order complete space,1 U ⊃ M a D-set, a, b ∈ U, a ≪ b and p, q ∈ βI[a, b] such that a, b, p, q are not coplanar, for example as in Fig. 9.1. Let ξ ∈ l[a, p] and η ∈ l[a, q]. Then there exist points ξ′ ∈ l[q, b] and η′ ∈ l[p, b] such that λ(ξ, ξ′) and λ(η, η′).
