Abstract
A reclining member includes a carrier frame with longitudinal support parts (1,2) at the sides and a reclining surface which is at least partially yielding in a springy or elastic manner. Straps (3,4) extending consecutively are fastened at the side longitudinal support parts (1,2) of the carrier frames transversely to their longitudinal direction. The straps (3) are fabricated of non-extensible material at least in their longitudinal direction, while the straps (4) are elastically extensible in the same direction. The non-extensible straps (3) are constructed so as to be of differing lengths for adapting the reclining surface to the body portion of a reclining person, so that supports at different levels in the regions A to J of a reclining person are present (FIG. 2) which are required for an optimum reclining position.
