Zone lumbar massage system

A lumbar system for use in a seat, the lumbar system comprising:

• a frame installable within a portion of the seat;
• a pump operable to pressurize air;
• a plurality of air cells mounted to the frame, each air cell operable to receive pressurized air from the pump and adjustable to at least one position between a deflated state and a fully inflated state;
• and
• a control module including a manifold in communication between the pump and the plurality of air cells, the control module operable to variably inflate each air cell in both a static support mode and a dynamic massage mode, the static support mode including multiple static support positions.

A seat comprising:

• a seat frame;
• and
• a lumbar system including
• a lumbar frame having a first side and a second side substantially opposite the first side,
• a pump mounted to the second side of the lumbar frame and operable to pressurize air,
• a plurality of air cells mounted to the first side of the lumbar frame, each air cell operable to receive variable amounts of pressurized air provided by the pump such that each air cell is independently inflatable,
• a control module mounted to the second side of the lumbar frame and including a manifold in communication between the pump and the plurality of air cells, the control module operable to independently and variably inflate each air cell in both a static support mode and a dynamic massage mode, the static support mode including multiple static support positions, and
• a blower mounted to the lumbar frame to propel an air flow into a space between the first side of the frame and an outer surface of the seat,
• wherein the lumbar frame, the pump, the control module, the plurality of air cells, and the blower are installed in the seat as a single unit by coupling the lumbar frame to the seat frame.
