Abstract
A glider includes a stationary base frame, a seat, and side frames rigidly affixed to opposite ends of the seat and each movably affixed and suspended from the base frame. The seat has a seat frame and a plurality of slats each secured to the seat frame and collectively forming an upwardly extending back portion adjoined to a generally horizontal seat portion. The slats each have a front surface with a generally planar central portion and arcuate edge portions on opposite sides of the central portion. Each of the edge portions has a width equal to at least 25% of a total width of each of the slats and has a thickness greater than 50% of a total thickness of each of the slats.
