[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, an embodiment of a modular furniture construction comprises a plurality of triangular shaped foam blocks 101, each block 101 is comprised of three sides, side a 102, side b 103, and side c 104. The center of the block 105 is optionally a support material for maintaining the shape of the triangular block 101.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, a side cut-away elevational view of an embodiment of the invention which shows the triangular shaped foam blocks interconnected. A plurality of interconnected triangular foam blocks 101 are placed within a frame 505. The frame 505 provides structure to the interconnected triangular shaped foam block 101. An optional headrest, 504 is can be included on top of the plurality of interconnected triangular foam blocks. An optional lumbar support 502 can also be included on top of the plurality of interconnected triangular shaped foam blocks. Said optional lumbar support connects to the side of the support frame 505 with a connector on either end. The frame 505 has a plurality of hinged sections 503, along the sides of the frame which allows for accessories to be connected to the frame 505. An optional table 701 sit on top of the hinged section 503.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain preferred versions thereof, other versions are possible. For example the connector shown, which is a hook and loop fastener, could be replaced with any other type of connector. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the preferred versions contained herein.
