Abstract
An upholstering body for use as the seat, or back, or as a combination seat and back in an article of furniture in which the body has an outer layer of resilient material such as a foamed elastomeric material and a supporting core member in the form of a sheet, or plate, of synthetic material, polyester resin, for example. The sheet is preferably reinforced with glass fibers, which may be in the form of glass cloth. The sheet is adapted for anchoring to a furniture frame in such a manner that the sheet is yieldable in the direction in which a load is normally applied thereto while being generally unyieldable in other directions.
