Abstract
A suspended pixelated seating structure provides ergonomic, adaptable sea ting support. The suspended pixelated seating structure includes multiple co operative layers to maximize global comfort and support while enhancing adap tation to localized variations in a load, such as in the load applied when a person sits in a chair. The cooperative layers each use independent element s such as pixels, springs, support rails, and other elements to provide this adaptable comfort and support. The suspended pixelated seating structure al so uses aligned material to provide a flexible yet durable suspended seating structure. Accordingly, the suspended pixelated seating structure provides maximum comfort for a wide range of body shapes and sizes.
