A sofa frame covered by a form fitting upholstery sack where the upholstery sack incorporates integrated support webbing comprising a plurality of webbing straps. With the upholstery sack properly positioned on the back rest portion, the support webbing is positioned on the front of the back rest portion frame. The upholstery sack is pre-formed to snugly fit over the back rest portion of the sofa frame. Installation time is decreased when compared to the time required for conventional webbing and upholstery installations.

A rest component (12, 14) for an article of furniture (10) includes a body member (16) mountable to a platform (18) of the article of furniture (10), the body member (16) defining a plurality of surfaces (20). A cover member (26) is carried by the body member (16) to define a pocket (32) associated with at least one surface (20) of the body member (16), the pocket (32) defining a mouth (34) to enable a user to gain access to an interior of the pocket (32). At least one receiving formation (36) is carried by the body member (16) within the pocket (32), the cover member (26) concealing the at least one receiving formation 36.

A system that has a plurality of monitors, a control unit, a first object and a second object is provided. The second object has one or more sensors operable to generate data and is remote from the first object. The control unit is configured to determine whether a first user is positioned on a first or on a second location of the first object and display a simulation of a second user onto the plurality of monitors based on the generated data. The second user is located remote from the first user and is displayed as being positioned in a different location on the first object than the first user on the first object. The control unit is further configured to activate the one or more heat generating devices to simulate a presence of the second user being positioned in the different location on the first object.

A method and to a mechanism for adjusting mattresses or chair beds into an operating position comprising extendable guides in which rods run, which merge in a joint pin, which interacts with pins of a mattress, which protrude from a centreline of the mattress. A parallelogram has joints, which are connected to each other through an elongated-hole guide, one joint can be moved in the elongated-hole guide, wherein the rods are articulated to the joint pin, a bushing arranged therebetween, the pin extends into a pulley having a restoring spring, on which pulley a cable is wound and fastened to the joint, at a certain height of the mattress, the cable is tensioned and the angle is reduced, the cable causes the rotation of the pulley in such a way that the mattress is rotated.
