A seating furniture support arrangement (6) for a seat or a backrest, suitable, e.g., for a sofa, comprises a first (8) and a second (10; 12) load-carrying longitudinal beam, each being mountable to a seating furniture frame comprising one or more parts; an elastic sheet (16; 14); and a mechanism for stretching the elastic sheet (16; 14) between the first longitudinal beam (8) and the second longitudinal beam (10; 12). The mechanism comprises a first longitudinal beam (8) pivotable on the frame. The elastic sheet (16; 14), with the said seating furniture support arrangement (6) in installed position, is connected to the first longitudinal beam (8) in such a way that the first longitudinal beam (8) pivoting with respect to the frame, in response to an application of an external force or torque, stretches the elastic sheet (16; 14), the external force or torque working against the tension force of the elastic sheet (16; 14) until a point of maximum tension is reached, past which point of maximum tension the tension force facilitates further pivoting of said first longitudinal beam (8), acting to keep the first longitudinal beam (8) in place in a final position.

A woven structure, which includes a woven surface, a skeleton or a wrapping strip, and a chair with the same. The woven surface has an edge and is formed by a staggered arrangement of a plurality of woven strips. One or both ends of several or all the woven strips are provided with a first protrusion, and both ends of each woven strip form edges. The skeleton or the wrapping strip can be disposed and clamped with the first protrusion on the edges of the woven surface. The chair with the woven structure comprises a chair seat and a chair surface. The chair surface includes a woven structure and is fixed on the chair seat.

A textile deck assembly, method of fabricating, and method of installing onto a seat frame assembly. The textile deck assembly includes a platform portion and a plurality of straps coupled to a rearward edge of the platform portion. The materials of the textile deck assembly are matched so that the plurality of straps undergoes most or all of the elongation under load (e.g., when a person sits thereon), while the platform portion, even though it is flexible and compliant, is stretch resistant and undergoes little or no stretching under load. A battery of durability tests were performed on the textile deck assembly, including deflection testing, fatigue testing, and drop testing, and compared with conventional seat decks that utilize sinuous springs. The durability of the textile deck assembly to was found to outperform conventional seat decks.

A multi-positional chair assembly comprises a frame portion defined by a pair of sinuously-shaped bars. The frame portion includes a back support section, a middle section, and a buttocks support section. A panel provides a supportive surface for a user. The panel may include a metal sheet, apertures, or parallel strips of material. The frame portion can be positioned in multiple positions to provide a sitting surface, including a lounge chair position and a higher elevated stool position. The chair assembly reconfigures between the lounge chair position and the stool position through rotation. Rotating the buttocks support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the lounge chair position. And rotating the back support section and the legs to engage the ground surface achieves the stool position. The chair may be of a one-piece injection-molded construction.
