Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of furniture, in particular to a chair seat. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of furniture, chairs are indispensable in people's daily life and work, and their comfort and support have always been important factors. Traditional chair seats usually adopt a single hard plate structure, which can provide some support but performs poorly in elastic deformation, and cannot well fit the human hip curve, leading to local pressure concentration after long sitting, causing fatigue and discomfort, especially for people who need to sit for a long time, such as office workers, students, etc., and this problem is more prominent.

[0003] With the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of life, some chairs have begun to try to use simple elastic materials to improve the comfort of the seat cushion, however, these designs often simply increase the softness of the material, ignoring the rationality of elastic deformation and the balance of support. For example, some chair seats use too soft sponge material or spring packs on the market, which can provide a certain comfort at the beginning of sitting, but lack sufficient support, and users are prone to sink into them during sitting, making it difficult to maintain a natural and comfortable posture, and long-term use may even cause adverse effects on the spine and other parts.

[0004] In summary, the existing chair cushions are too hard and lack elasticity, while the existing spring pack design is too rough and too soft, lacking power and cushioning, and cannot be applied to high-end chairs due to space occupation problems; in order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional chair seats in comfort and support, and meet people's pursuit of high-quality seats, a chair seat is urgently needed.
