A seat cushion provided for supporting a sitting person, including a seat portion having an upwardly facing surface and a downwardly facing surface; a plurality of mutually spaced inclined grooves formed in the seat portion; wherein the inclined grooves extend along at least a portion of the distance between the upwardly facing surface and the downwardly facing surface.

A folding chair may include a frame that is configured to transition the folding chair between use and storage positions. A seat base may be pivotally coupled thereto at a first particular length from a front end and a receiving portion may be disposed in an upper surface. The receiving portion may include left and right lateral edges, front and rear longitudinal edges, and a depth. The padding material may be disposed in the receiving portion and may have a lateral dimension related to a distance between the front and the rear longitudinal edges, a longitudinal dimension related to a distance between the front and the rear longitudinal edges, and a thickness related to the depth. The padding layer may cover a majority of a top surface of the padding material and of the upper surface. The cover may retain the padding material and the padding layer relative to the seat base.

A lounge having a matrix mat and a plurality of modules capable of being inserted into the matrix mat. The lounge may include a frame configured as a rigid frame, a modular frame, and combinations thereof. The modular frame may further include a tri-cable suspension. The tri-cable suspension may be attached to a dilator retractor mechanism. The modules may be a mushroom cap module, a spider spring module, a web module, a lighting module, an electronics module, and combinations thereof.

The method manufactures a vehicular seat member including a frame member and a foamed resin molded body to embed the frame member. Firstly the frame member is placed in a molding die so that the frame member extends along the outer shape of the vehicular seat member in plan view of the vehicular seat member. Next the foamed resin molded body is formed in the molding die so that the foamed resin molded body has a rim part embedding the frame member and having an outer shape of the vehicular seat member and an extension extending inward from the rim part so as to bridge the rim part inside of the rim part. During the forming, the method forms a break in the extension so as to divide the extension along the direction intersecting the extending direction of the extension.

A seat back of a seat includes: a seat back frame; a front side elastic member positioned on a user side; a rear side elastic member disposed more rearward than the front side elastic member is; and a pressure receiving member disposed at a rear of the rear side elastic member. The rear side elastic member has a lower resilience than the front side elastic member. The pressure receiving member supports the front side elastic member and the rear side elastic member while being supported by the seat back frame.

A load-bearing fabric architecture including a soft surface material, a support system provided in contact with the soft surface material. The support system comprises a frame and structural surface material connected to the frame. The soft surface material is at least partially disposed above the support system, and the support system is configured to support an applied load.

A chair is provided with a seat support frame which may be comprised of at least two tubes spaced apart by a polymer connector. The seat support frame supports a foam cushion and the frame may be embedded in the foam and may include flexible supports across the support frame also embedded in the foam. A rigid panel has a cavity and the rigid panel is arranged adjacent an outer surface of the foam cushion with at least part of the foam cushion positioned within the cavity, wherein the rigid panel is affixed to the support frame and an inner surface of the rigid panel faces the outer surface of the foam cushion.

A chair back assembly includes a back frame having a front surface and a rear surface and including a laterally extending cross member having opposite end portions, a back shell including a front surface, a rear surface positioned in front of the front surface of the back frame, a pair of laterally spaced side portions defining an opening therebetween, and a top portion extending laterally between and connected to the side portions, wherein the side portions are exclusively connected to the cross member at opposite ends of the cross member, wherein the connection between the side portions of the back shell and the end portions of the cross member are the only connections between the side portions of the back shell and the back frame, and a cover extending across the opening and connected to the side portions and the top portion of the back shell.

A chair component assembly includes a support component adapted to support a portion of a seated user, and a cover including a plurality of sides that cooperate to form an interior space that receives the support component therein, the cover further including a support component receiving aperture and a flap movable between an open position where the support component may be moved from an exterior of the cover to the interior space of the cover, and a closed position where the flap covers the support component receiving aperture, and wherein the flap is secured to the support component by a quick-connect fastener.
