A chair has a support structure, a backrest supported rotatably with respect to the support structure around a first axis extending in a widthwise direction of the support structure and displaceable to an inclined state inclined rearward from an initial state, a regulating part that regulates rotation around the first axis of the backrest, a return-part that returns the backrest in the inclined state to the initial state, a first-operation-member that allows a seated person to operate the regulating part, a second-operation-member that allows the seated person to operate the return-part, and a base-member that supports the first-operation-member and the second-operation-member, the base-member extends in the widthwise direction, the first-operation is supported by a first-support-part provided on one end side in the widthwise direction of the base-member, and the second-operation-member is supported by a second-support-part provided on other end side in the widthwise direction of the base-member.

A kneeling rocking chair includes a base configured to support the chair on a floor, a common frame pivotably mounted to the base, the common frame supporting a seat and a shin rest, and an adjustable rocking mechanism coupled to the base and the common frame, the adjustable rocking mechanism configured to provide adjustable resistance to a rocking motion of the common frame relative to the base

It is of interest to be able to adjust the upholstery firmness of furniture for sitting and lying on as individually as possible, in particular with a view to being able to use the furniture for a long time. In addition, there is a need for a design which allows firmness adjustment to be integrated and which can be realized as flexibly as possible for different furniture or seat variants. The invention provides an upholstered-furniture arrangement (100) which has a basic frame (7) and an upholstered cushion (6) on which someone can sit or lie, which is fixed to the basic frame at least in the edge region thereof and which has a panel (4) beneath it for upholstery-firmness adjustment, the panel being arranged in the basic frame (7) such that the height of the panel can be adjusted by pivoting the panel, wherein the end of the panel (4) located opposite a pivot shaft (14) is arranged freely in the basic frame (7), and a height-adjustment device acts on the panel (4) from beneath by applying an adjustable compressive/prestressing force (F), the height-adjustment device being supported in the downward direction by the basic frame, counter to the compressive/prestressing force. This arrangement has an attractive, direct technical effect and offers a good compromise between cost and benefit.
