A freely combined cube sofa and a combination sofa are provided. The freely combined cube sofa includes: a seat cushion frame, a seat cushion, two armrest frames, a backrest frame, and a backrest cushion, where the backrest frame is detachably provided at a back of the seat cushion frame; the two armrest frames are respectively detachably provided at two sides of the seat cushion frame; the seat cushion is detachably provided on a top of the seat cushion frame; the backrest cushion is detachably provided at a front side of the backrest frame; the seat cushion frame is a detachable space frame; and outer surfaces of the seat cushion frame, the armrest frames, and the backrest frame each are covered with a detachable skin. The sofa is composed of frames and cushions, which can be disassembled and laid flat to reduce the packaging volume and increase the loading capacity.

Balance joint (1, 101) suitable for attachment between a seat arrangement (6, 106) and a chair leg arrangement (7, 107). The balance joint comprises first and second mountings (2, 3, 102, 103) together forming a hollow space and at least one hinge pin (4, 104). The mountings (2, 3, 12, 103) are rotatably attached to each other by means of the at least one hinge pin, where at least one elastic packing (5, 105) is arranged in the hollow space and the at least one elastic packing is arranged between the mountings so that the possibilities for expansion of the elastic packing is limited by the mountings (2, 3, 102, 103) in at least two directions. It is also described various furniture using such a balance joint.

Disclosed are connectors, sofa chair frames and sofa chairs. A connector includes first and second members disposed in first and second directions, respectively. The first member includes a through hole along the first direction and a notch in the first direction on a peripheral wall of the first member to enhance an elasticity of the first member. The notch allows the through hole of the first member to couple with any one element in a plurality of first elements, where at least two elements in the plurality of first elements are different from each other. The second member has a first end coupled to a middle portion of the first member, and includes an opening recessed inwardly from a second end in the second direction to accommodate at least a portion of a second element.

A method of packaging a convertible couch into a box includes forming a frame assembly. Forming the frame assembly includes coupling a plurality of arms, a first seat portion, a second seat portion, a first back portion, and a second back portion together. A plurality of pillows and at least one back cushion are positioned within the frame assembly. The frame assembly is positioned into the box after assembly and a divider is placed on top of the frame assembly. A first mattress roll is formed and then a second mattress roll is formed. The first mattress roll and the second mattress roll are placed on the divider in the box and the box is closed and sealed.

A method of assembling a furniture piece includes aligning a first side end with a first side of a frame, inserting a plurality of alignment pins on the first side into a plurality of alignment holes on the first side end, latching a plurality of spring-loaded latches on the first side end with a plurality of receivers on the first side of the frame, aligning a second side end with a second side of the frame, inserting a plurality of alignment pins on the second side into a plurality of alignment holes on the second side end and latching a plurality of spring-loaded latches on the second side end with a plurality of receivers on the second side of the frame.

A cushion having a foam core sandwiched by opposing gel infused viscoelastic pads adhesively attached to the core, the assembly wrapped in a non-woven and received in an upholstery casing, for seating use of the cushion in a furniture piece that during use for seating, the upper one of the pads wicking body heat into the seating cushion away from the person sitting thereon to provide a perception of cooling and the compressed pad readily reboundable to a noncompressed state after occupancy, and the cushion rotatable to selectively alternate the seating pad for use.

The present invention relates to a new type of furniture, which can be reconfigured into an arbitrarily large number of shapes. The changing of furniture shape is accomplished with an array of individually driven actuators which are used to displace a set of furniture components (or modules) in particular spatial amount in order to cause an overall yet arbitrary furniture shape (or look).

Provided herein are systems and methods for modular furniture, for assembling a furniture unit into a desired configuration, having a plurality of modules, wherein each one of the modules is configured to fit with any one of each of the other modules, having: a plurality of horizontal modules, each one of the horizontal modules comprising: a horizontal frame; and at least one horizontal frame mating plate; a plurality of vertical modules, each one of the vertical modules comprising: a vertical frame; and at least one vertical frame mating plate; wherein the horizontal frame mating plate and the vertical frame mating plate of each one of the horizontal modules and each one of the vertical modules are capable of connecting and securing to a second horizontal frame mating plate or a second vertical frame mating plate.
