A chair includes, a seat, a backrest separated from the seat, and an upper support frame to which the backrest is attached at a position higher than the seat. In the chair, the upper support frame includes a left side portin and a right side portions both extending forward at left and right sides of the seated person and a rear portion that continuously and integrally connects the left side portion and the right side portion. The left side portion and the right side portion are connected to side support bodies arranged on left and right sides of the seat to be tiltable, and the backrest is connected to the upper support frame to be tiltable rearward.

A chair having a backrest having an upper backrest section and a lumbar section, wherein the lumbar section is provided with a plurality of perforations and is elastically deformable to allow a backward tilting movement of the upper backrest section under a backward thrust applied from a user's back, and wherein the perforations stop the backward tilting movement of the upper backrest section in a position of maximum backward tilt of the upper backrest section.

A rocker chair having a frame and a longitudinal spring member extending from the frame, at or near a surface on which the chair is supported for rocking motion. The spring member includes an anchored portion anchored to the frame, and an extended portion extending from the anchored portion and is free to flex or bend against spring bias of the extended portion, wherein the extended portion is bendable upward from the support surface against spring bias of the extended portion. The frame of the rocker chair may be collapsible to convert from a collapsed configuration for stowing, to an extended configuration for seating a person. The spring member may include an anchored portion anchored to at least a portion of a bottom of the frame, and an extended portion extending from the anchored portion, wherein the extended portion is bendable against spring bias of the extended portion.

A portable lumbar support and ergonomic chair having a lumbar support. The lumbar support has a seat hingedly coupled to a seat back having a teardrop-shaped lumbar support seat back cushion. A rigid back support portion may be rotated forward about hinges to collapse substantially parallel to the seat frame and backward to open to a variety of angles with respect to the seat frame. The seat back freely pivots around an upper lateral axis, and the rigid back support portion is linearly adjustable to space the seat back toward and away from the hinges to enable raising or lowering the upper lateral axis and thus the seat back with respect to the lower lateral axis. This provides multiple ways of changing which part of the teardrop-shaped lumbar support curve hits your lumbar curve for proper support. Variable lumbar lordotic support is thus provided.
