Provided is a seat pad (10) having a placing surface (11), wherein a lateral slit section (15) extending from an outer side toward an inner side of the seat pad (10) is formed in a first lateral direction (B1) along the placing surface (11), and at least a portion of the lateral slit section (15) gradually becomes smaller in a thickness direction (H) perpendicular to the placing surface (11) from the outer side toward the inner side of the seat pad (10) in the first lateral direction (B1).

According to the present invention, in a plan view of a seat surface (10a), a plane area of a part surrounded by an inner edge (17a) of a rear part (17) in a left-right direction (X) and a contour (L) is larger than a plane area of a part sandwiched by an inner edge (18a) of a front part (18) in the left-right direction (X) and the contour (L) in the left-right direction (X). In addition, a part of a pair of left and right second synthetic resin materials forming a lower part having a maximum gap therebetween in the left-right direction (X) is positioned in a thigh rest part (14) and a part having a minimum gap is positioned in a hip rest part (15), and a maximum value (W1) of the gap between the pair of left and right second synthetic resin materials forming the lower part in the left-right direction (X) is two times or more a minimum value (W2) of the gap in the left-right direction (X).

Radiant furniture made of a concrete mix includes one or more heating elements or hot water supplied hydronic tubing that provide comfortable radiant heat. Radiant furniture for sitting includes a radiant seating panel with a bottom cushion overlying the radiant seating panel that provides a heated seating surface for the radiant furniture. A back cushion or a portion of a back cushion can be moved from a first position for sitting to a second position overlying the bottom cushion. A controller senses the temperature of the radiant seating panel and the ambient temperature, then applies power to one or more heating elements in the furniture according to programmed temperature thresholds to provide comfortable radiant heat from the furniture.

A seat cushion for improvement of sitting posture and relief from back and leg pain has a seat portion tapering down from a back end toward a narrow front or forward end. The front end is provided with a vertical projection in the nature of a pommel. The pommel or post is sufficiently large to prevent a user from comfortably crossing his or her legs.

A cushion pan for a seat cushion is formed from a metal sheet and the cushion pan includes: an outer frame section that is formed in a frame shape in a seat plan view, a pair of mutually opposing sides of the outer frame section each including a horizontal portion with a respective thickness direction along a seat up-down direction; a pair of side plate portions that extend toward one side in the seat up-down direction from facing end portions of the pair of horizontal portions; and a plate spring portion having a flat plate shape bridging between ends of the pair of side plate portions on an opposite side of the side plate portions from the pair of horizontal portions.

A seat pad (10) having a loading surface (11). In the seat pad (10), a lateral slit portion (15), extending from the outside towards the inside of the seat pad (10) in a first lateral direction (B1) that is parallel to the loading surface (11), is formed. A longitudinal slit portion (15) is provided at an end portion of the lateral slit portion (15), in a second lateral direction (B2) that is orthogonal to the first lateral direction (B1) and that is parallel to the loading surface (11). The longitudinal slit portion (21) extends from the lateral slit portion (15) towards the loading surface (11) in a thickness direction (H) that is orthogonal to the loading surface (11).

A cushion body for sitting is provided which can offer good feeling of sitting even to many unspecified users of various body shapes and allow them to be seated more comfortably. A cushion body for sitting (1) includes: a base part (2) having a sitting surface (S1) formed of a curved surface that is curved concavely to support, from below, the buttocks of a seated person in a seated posture; and a pair of side supporting portions (3) each having a side supporting surface (S2) formed of a curved surface that is curved continuously from the sitting surface (S1) of the base part (2), where the pair of side supporting portions (3) project from sides of the base part (2) such that the side supporting portions (3) can be bent and deformed by a load applied to the side supporting surfaces (S2), so as to support both the left and right parts of the buttocks of the seated person in the seated posture.

A pocketed spring comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has pockets characterized by the individual mini coil springs of the comfort layer being pocketed with between at least one cushion assembly and a sheet of polypropylene fabric. Each cushion assembly includes at least one foam layer. A segmented seam joins the cushion assembly and the sheet of polypropylene fabric around each of the mini coil springs of the pocketed spring comfort layer. The method of making the pocketed spring comfort layer includes compressing the mini coil springs and creating pockets with a welding horn and an anvil.
