Abstract
A seating assembly includes a seatback having a frame and a cushion assembly. A cushion carrier includes a lower member defining a frame receiving cavity. A first set of ribs extend across the frame receiving cavity in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal extent of the lower member. The first set of ribs extend between the lower member and a lower brace of the frame. A second set of ribs are parallel with the first set of ribs. The second set of ribs are longer than the first set of ribs.

A seating assembly comprising:
- a seatback including a frame and a cushion assembly;
- a cushion carrier including a lower lumbar region defining a central space therethrough, the cushion carrier supporting the cushion assembly and including a lower cross-member defining a frame receiving cavity;
- a first set of ribs disposed on the lower cross-member and extending in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal extent of the lower cross-member, the first set of ribs spaced across the lower cross-member and positioned between the lower cross-member and a lower brace of the frame;
- and
- a second set of ribs parallel with the first set of ribs and disposed on the lower cross-member, the second set of ribs being longer than the first set of ribs.
A seating assembly comprising:
- a seatback including a frame;
- a cushion carrier defining a central space therethrough and supporting a cushion assembly, the cushion carrier including a lower cross-member defining a rearwardly-opening frame receiving cavity;
- and
- a plurality of vertically-oriented ribs positioned on the lower cross-member and extending in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal extent of the lower cross-member, the plurality of vertically-oriented ribs abutting a lower brace of the frame.
