Backrests/legless leisure chairs and methods for making cushions

A backrest/leisure chair comprising:

• (a) a frame having an occupant supporting member oriented to form an acute angle with a horizontal plane, said occupant supporting member being supported in the acute angle orientation by a base support frame connected to said occupant supporting member, wherein said base support frame contacts said horizontal plane generally underneath said occupant supporting member, said occupant supporting member having a lower portion and an upper portion, and including a means forming an obtuse angle thereon for supporting occupant's thoracic curve at a generally midpoint on said occupant supporting member which orients the upper portion of said occupant supporting member at a higher angle than the lower portion;
• (b) a support sheet means, wherein the means is selected from a group consisting of webbing, a plurality of slats, springs, wires, a sheet of fabric, plywood, and other products that can comprise a sheet, secured to the occupant supporting member, and capable of supporting the weight of the back, shoulders, and head of a reclining human;
• (c) a main backrest cushion having an upper and lower portion, and having means for supporting the occupant's lumbar region in a relatively natural lordotic curve, wherein said means for supporting a natural lordotic curve is a firm internal support member which is a generally semi-elliptically shaped cylinder within the cushion, said cushion is secured on top of said support sheet;
• and
• (d) a seat cushion having an attachment means for securing it to the lower portion of the frame, suitable for providing comfort to the buttocks when sitting on the floor, and at the same time preventing the occupant of said leisure chair from slipping down out of position.

A backrest/leisure chair with a main backrest cushion, a seat cushion, a lumbar support means for supporting an occupants lumbar region in a relatively natural lordotic curve below the surface of the cushion, and having a frame comprising:

• (a) a generally rectangular shaped main backrest frame having a top, a bottom, and two parallel sides, the sides having an obtuse angle at their generally midpoint such that the part of the frame below said generally midpoint is at a lower angle relative to a horizontal plane as compared with the part of the frame above said generally midpoint, and wherein the part of the backrest frame sides below said generally midpoint is integral and continuous with the part of the backrest frame sides above said generally midpoint;
• (b) a base generally U-shaped frame;
• and
• (c) a means for joining said generally rectangular shaped main backrest frame to said base generally U-shaped frame, said means for joining the backrest frame to the base U-shaped frame being positioned near the ends of the base U-shaped frame and near the sides below the midpoint of the main backrest frame in such a way that the base U-shaped frame is generally horizontally positioned and the main backrest frame is positioned at an acute angle to the base U-shaped frame.
