The prior art discloses a piece of seating furniture (10), in particular of the armchair or sofa type, having a seat surface (14′) and a legrest (18) which is displaceable between a stowed position in which the legrest (18) is arranged beneath the seat surface (14′) in the vertical direction (6) of the furniture, and a use position in which the legrest (18) is arranged in front of the seat surface (14′) in the longitudinal direction (4) of the furniture. Provision is made there for the legrest (18) to be configured with a variable length by two mutually displaceable fitting portions (30, 40) of the legrest (18), and for a force to be able to be applied to the two fitting portions (30, 40) of the legrest by a spring portion (53a; 54a; 55a; 56a; 57a; 58a) of a spring device (50), said spring portion (b 53a; 54a; 55a; 56a; 57a; 58a) acting between a first force application point (33; 34; 35; 36; 37; 38) at a first of the two fitting portions (30) and a second force application point (43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48) at a second of the two fitting portions (40). In order to improve such a piece of seating furniture, it is proposed that the two force application points (33; 34; 35; 36; 37; 38; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48) are offset with respect to one another in a transverse direction of the furniture (2), such that the spring portion (53a; 54a; 55a; 56a; 57a; 58a) takes up a diagonal direction of extent, and/or that the spring portion (53a; 55a; 56a; 57a; 58a) is configured as an elastomer spring portion. Use for achieving a cost-effective, reliable and easily assemblable variable-length legrest and in particular a comparatively wide legrest.
