A fluid filling chamber (46) is provided, which includes a first barrier layer (52), a second barrier layer (54), a foam structure (60), and a tension member (70). A second barrier layer 54 is secured to the first barrier layer 52 to form an interior cavity 58 between the first barrier layer 52 and the second barrier layer 54 . The interior cavity 58 contains a predetermined volume of fluid. The foam structure 60 and the tension member 70 are disposed within the interior cavity 58 , wherein the tension member 70 extends between the first barrier layer 52 and the second barrier layer 54 in a first direction. It includes a plurality of fibers 85 (fibers) that become. |
