A chair support shell has an integral back portion, seat portion, and joining portion between the back portion and the seat portion. At least a major portion of the support shell comprises a compliant structure, the compliant structure having a plurality of cells interconnected by a plurality of resilient members. The compliant structure provides compliance in the seat portion, compliance in the back portion, and compliance in the joining portion. The compliant structure enables recline of the back portion relative to the seat portion.

A method for generating a rebounding motion between a person and a surface includes the steps of providing a rebounding device, positioning the rear member against the surface and the front member adjacent to an upper body of the person and the surface, and applying pressure to the rebounding device through the upper body. The rebounding device includes front and rear members having front and rear widths spanning right front and rear side edges and left front and rear side edges and first and second spring mechanisms positioned between the front and rear members. The first and second spring mechanisms are positioned between the right front side edge of the front member and the right rear side edge of the rear member and between the left front side edge of the front member and the left rear side edge of the rear member, respectively.

A dynamic furniture system includes a first frame portion; a set of rollers mounted to the first frame portion; a second frame portion including one or more rockers having a roller-interface surface having a curved profile; wherein the set of rollers interface with the roller-interface surface of the rockers such that the second frame portion is moveable relative to the first frame portion; a set of one or more electromagnets mounted to or integrated with the first frame portion or the second frame portion; a set of one or more magnetically-interactive elements mounted to or integrated with a different one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion; and an electronic control system configured to vary a parameter of electrical energy supplied to the set of electromagnets over time to induce back and forth motion of one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion.

A swinging basket chair with a footrest includes a base, a boom rod cooperatively mounted on the base, and a swinging basket hoisted on the boom rod. The footrest is cooperatively mounted at a front end of a seat portion of the swinging basket by using at least one disposed hinge component, the footrest is capable of being flipped by using the hinge component, and the footrest can be fixed at different positions. The footrest is disposed, to allow people to stretch their feet and place them on the footrest when using the swinging basket chair, thereby meeting different rest needs of users. The footrest is also mounted by using the hinge component, and the footrest can be stored below the swinging basket when not in use.

A furniture skirt to attach beneath the seat surface of a glider furniture piece which carries safety barriers positioned to hinder access to area between moving and stationary parts of the glider furniture piece which may present a pinching safety hazard when the moving parts are in motion. The furniture skirt has side sections sized and shaped to hang adjacent side surfaces of the glider furniture piece which are oriented parallel with the gliding motion of the furniture piece. Inflexible plates are carried by the side sections of the skirt to obstruct insertion of objects, such as fingers, within the area between moving and stationary parts of the furniture to prevent injury.

A spring actuated rocking mechanism can be attached to the legs of a collapsible chair to allow for the user to rock in the collapsible chair. The mechanism may be attached at the factory or retrofitted to the chair. The rocking mechanism can be attached to the end of a leg or disposed within a leg, having a leg portion above and below the mechanism.
