A seating device includes a base and a seat post extending from the base. The seat post has a first end adjacent the base, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The seating device further includes a seat supported by the seat post above the base and a first rocking assembly coupled to the base and the first end of the seat post. The first rocking assembly is operable to angularly displace the seat post relative to the base. The seating device further includes a second rocking assembly coupled to the seat and the second end of the seat post. The second rocking assembly is operable to angularly displace the seat relative to the seat post.

A piece of furniture comprises a seat, a backrest and a base. At least the seat and the base are movably coupled for reversible relative adjustment in a direction from a first configuration for sitting upright to a second configuration for sitting reclined. One or more support surfaces and a lever are operably coupled to support the seat on the base. The lever rotates about an axis transverse to the seating direction and moves being coupled with the one or more support surfaces at a first support portion defining first lever arm about the axis and a second, different, support portion defining a second, different, lever arm about the axis. The one or more support surfaces define a curved, noncircular path about the axis, such that relative displacement of the support surface and the axis in the seating direction is associated with rotation of the lever about the axis.

A narrow backrest electric seat mechanical extension device is provided, which comprises mechanical extension units, a rear driving piece and a front drive piece, wherein each mechanical extension unit comprises a leg assembly, a back assembly and a seat panel, the back assembly is provided with an eleventh connector, a front support piece, a tenth connector, a ninth connector, an eighth connector, a seventh connector, a sixth connector, a fifth connector, a fourth connector, a third connector, a second connector, a first connector, a backrest support plate, a backrest fixing plate, a rear supporting piece and a backrest return spring, the driving device is hinged with the rear drive piece, and the rear drive piece is fixed with the sixth connector; the driving device is hinged with the front drive piece, and the front drive piece is connected to the leg assembly.

A rocker recliner is disclosed that has a pair of stationary arms; a seat disposed between the arms; an ottoman; a back coupled to the seat. A full-recline linkage mechanism couples the ottoman, the seat and the back and is operable to move the ottoman, the seat and the back between a closed position, a TV position and a fully reclined position. A rocker assembly is coupled between the full-recline linkage mechanism and the stationary arms that allows the seat, back and ottoman to rock between the stationary arms in at least one of the closed position, the TV position or the fully reclined position.

A furniture member may include a seat base, a seat assembly, a legrest platform, a drive rod, and a sequencing mechanism. The seat assembly is movable relative to the seat base. The legrest platform is coupled to the seat assembly. The drive rod is rotatable relative to the seat assembly, and rotation of the drive rod causes the seat assembly and the legrest platform to move. The sequencing mechanism includes a cam that is attached to the drive rod and a follower wheel that is attached to the seat assembly. The cam is configured to prevent the seat assembly from moving between a first recline position and a second recline position while the seat assembly moves between first and second tilt positions and while the legrest platform moves between first and second legrest positions.
