Abstract
A seating assembly for a vehicle may include a back portion and a bottom portion, each having a mesh fabric supported by a fabric frame. The fabric frame may include multiple portions oriented along different planes to permit contoured ergonomic support, and may define a main venting opening and side venting openings configured to direct airflow through the mesh fabric toward a seated user. A seat frame may support the seating assembly and may include a slider mechanism for positional adjustment. The back and bottom portions may pivot relative to one another or may be arranged at a fixed angle. The mesh fabric may provide breathability, rapid drainage, and improved weight distribution.
