A vinyl fabric includes a polymeric film supported on a substrate. The polymeric film is provided from a composition that includes one or more chlorinated resins (particularly PVC), at least one polymeric plasticizer, large amounts of TiO.sub.2, and at least one antioxidant. The combination of the plasticizer, titania and antioxidant provides the film, and in turn the fabric, with improved resistance to discoloration, particularly pink staining as results from the presence of chromophores produced by Streptoverticillium reticulum.

A chair assembly includes a base assembly, a seat assembly having a pair of side edges and a fore-to-aft extending longitudinal centerline, a back assembly movable between upright and reclined positions, and an arm assembly including an arm base extending from a first location between the side edges to a second location laterally outward of one of the side edges, wherein the arm base extends at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal centerline and at an upward angle from the first location toward the second location, a support assembly supported by and extending upwardly from the arm base, and an armrest supported by the support assembly that is adjustable to support the armrest between a plurality of selected vertical positions, wherein the arm assembly and back assembly move at a different rate from one another as the back assembly is moved between the upright and reclined positions.

Furniture is assembled from elastic modules enabling rapid and convenient assembly and disassembly. The elastic module has a spring, an outer covering layer, and an end member attached to an end face of the outer covering layer. A mattress includes a plurality of individual spring assemblies (145), with each spring assembly including at least one spring (134) and a spring cap (144, 150, 161, 164, 171, 184, 194, 204). Each spring cap has at least one first attachment fitting (168, 178, 174, 186, 196) and at least one second attachment fitting (169, 180, 176, 187) with each first attachment fitting engageable into or onto and removable from a second attachment fitting of an adjoining spring cap. The spring assemblies are attached to each other via the first and second attachment fittings, forming the individual spring assemblies into a spring core. A top pad is positioned on top of the spring core.

Steps for using an insert to restore sagging sofa cushions are provided. Over time, the cushion develops a depression on a sitting surface of a deformable member and an elevation on a base surface of the deformable member. The cushion also suffers from reduced elasticity in the deformable member. Positioning the insert between a cushion casing and deformable member of the cushion allows for sagging areas of the cushion to be fixed. The cushion restoring insert thus addresses both aforementioned issues. An elongated elastic member with similar elasticity to the original cushion provides a like-new level of elasticity for the cushion. The cushion restoring insert also increases volume within the cushion casing, causing tension in combination with the cushion casing. This tension counteracts the depression and elevation, helping to return the cushion to a like new state.

A seating apparatus with adjustable cushioning, comprises a seat base and an inflatable bladder comprising a plurality of air cells. The inflatable bladder is positioned in between at least two polyurethane foam layers, supported on the seat base. The seating apparatus further comprises a pump unit operatively connected to the inflatable bladder via a conduit for inflating or deflating the plurality of air cells for providing adjustable firmness to the seating apparatus.

A cushion (10) device comprising: a planar support member (20) formed from a resilient material which defines a front (22), rear (24, 64) and two side portions (26) of the support member (20), wherein a recess (40) is provided at the rear (24, 64) portion of the support member (20) at a mid-position between the two side portions (26), and wherein the support member (20) includes two opposing wing members (42) extending laterally into the recess (40) towards the mid-position.

The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to stadium seats or a seat cushions composed of materials configured in a sandwich construction. In some implementations, an apparatus, systems, or methods can include a durable bottom layer that is adapted to provide traction on a bottom surface of the portable composite stadium seat cushion, an insulating core layer that is adapted to provide contoured and cushioned support for sitting on the portable composite stadium seat cushion, and a pliable top layer that is resilient and protects the core layer.

The present application provides a cushion having a core layer and a quilt support/comfort layer. The core layer may comprise innersprings, foams, air cells, or combinations thereof. The support/comfort layer comprises a sleep layer that simulates a conventional quilted fabric layer. The sleep layer includes a thick, comfort fabric and a backing fabric, which backing fabric may be the same as the thick, comfort fabric. The sleep layer is formed by coupling the thick, comfort fabric to the backing fabric to form a plurality of individual pockets in which micro spring coils are placed. The micro spring coils have less uncompressed height than conventional innerspring coils. The sleep layer coupling is formed by spot coupling without using a metal needle to stitch the layers together. In other words, the spot coupling may comprise an adhesive or weld.
