Incliner apparatus

An article of wellness furniture, comprising:

• a body support structure comprising a plank configured to support the user in a flat lying position and having a longitudinal length between about 66 inches and about 80 inches such that, when a user lies on the plank, the user's head is supported by one longitudinal end of the plank and the user's feet are supported by another longitudinal end of the plank;
• and
• a first ground engaging rocker and a second ground engaging rocker coupled to the body support structure and shaped to support the body support structure at a variable angular orientation relative to a ground surface in response to a position of the user on the plank of the body support structure, the first and second ground engaging rockers being oriented relative to the body support structure to enable the longitudinal ends of the plank to pitch up and down in response to the position of the user, and the first ground engaging rocker positioned at a first lateral side of the plank and the second ground engaging rocker positioned at a second lateral side of the plank opposite the first lateral side to prevent the plank from tipping side to side as the longitudinal ends pitch up and down during use,
• wherein the article of wellness furniture is configured such that the body support structure assumes a horizontal configuration when the article of wellness furniture is in a state of equilibrium, and assumes a declined configuration when the user lies on the plank of the body support structure with a center of gravity of the user offset from a central reference plane of the article of wellness furniture that extends transverse to the plank,
• wherein a ground engaging profile of the first and second ground engaging rockers and an upper support surface of the plank are each symmetric about the central reference plane to enable the article of wellness furniture to be used in a bi-directional manner,
• wherein the upper support surface of the plank is between about five and about fourteen inches above the ground when in the horizontal configuration, and
• wherein each of the first and second ground engaging rockers includes an arcuate profile having a radius of curvature between about 30 inches and about 50 inches to assist in transitioning the body support structure smoothly between the horizontal configuration and the declined configuration, and such that a center of curvature of the arcuate profile of each of the first and second ground engaging rockers is located at least about 16 inches above the upper support surface of the plank.
