An inflatable massage cushion 1 comprising a body providing a plurality of airbags (i.e. inflatable bladders) 112, the plurality of airbags being divided into at least two groups, the individual airbags within each of the groups being interconnected by means of air channels / conduits 113. Each of the respective series of air channels are fluidly connected to an air tube 2 communicating with a control box 3, for example providing a pump. At least some of the airbags of each group are located adjacent to at least one airbag of the other of the groups, and wherein the groups of airbags are individually and alternately inflatable and deflatable via the connected air tubes, for producing a massaging effect. A method of forming a massage cushion is also taught, with this requiring the joining of first 11 and second (12, Fig 2) cushion layers, the first providing the airbags and the second providing air orifices (122, Fig 2) communicating with the airbags.
