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 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 self-adaption breathable cushion comprises a fixed base and a plurality of self-adaptive units integrated side by side and disposed on the fixed base; each of the adaptive units comprises a strap and an elastic member, the elastic member supports the strap to tension above the fixing, base, when the strap is pressed by the pressure and recessed downwards, the strap pulls the elastic member to be deformed, so that the self-adaptive unit moves downwards in a whole; when the pressure is removed, the elastic member is reset under its own elasticity, and the strap is also reset. The self-adaption breathable cushion can be self-adaptive deformed according to the weight of a human body to be borne, so as to be attached to the human body, making the human body more comfortable, ventilated and breathable, easy to clean, and inexpensive.

A firmness controlling apparatus for use in a bed arrangement or a seating arrangement is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a rigid frame having two opposed sides, and at least one non-elastic flexible elongate element extending between the two opposed sides. Each end of the non-elastic flexible elongate element is directly or indirectly connected to one of the opposed sides, and at least one of the ends is indirectly connected via an elastic flexible elongate element. A plurality of elongate springs are provided and extend in a flat or curved plane, the ends of each elongate spring being attached to one of the at least one non-elastic flexible elongate elements at two separated connections. A retraction device is arranged to tighten and slack the non-elastic flexible elongate element(s) between the two separated connections, thereby adjusting the distance between the two separated connections of each non-elastic flexible elongate element, and thereby controlling the curvature and height of the elongate springs.

A seat includes a seat surface having a periphery and a carrier overmolded onto the seat surface over the periphery. The carrier has a periphery and a frame is overmolded onto the carrier over the carrier periphery. The seat is assembled without fasteners. A method for making the seat includes overmolding a carrier onto a periphery of a seat surface to form a seat surface/carrier assembly, tensioning the seat surface/carrier assembly in a mold and overmolding a frame onto a periphery of the seat surface/carrier assembly.
