Seating structure having flexible support surface

A seating structure comprising:

• a plurality of boss structures arranged in a pattern, wherein each of said boss structures has a body-facing surface, wherein at least some of said boss structures are elongated and have a longitudinal extent and a lateral extent, wherein said longitudinal extent of at least some of said boss structures is greater than said lateral extent of said at least some of said boss structures;
• a plurality of web structures joining adjacent boss structures within said pattern, wherein at least some of said web structures are non-planar, said non-planar web structures extending away from said body-facing surface of said adjacent boss structures and forming a hinge structure between adjacent boss structures, with said body-facing surface being more proximal to an occupant than said web structures when the occupant is supported by the seat structure;
• and
• wherein at least some adjacent web structures defining said plurality of web structures are spaced apart such that said spaced apart adjacent web structures define openings therebetween.

• a plurality of web structures joining adjacent boss structures within said pattern, wherein at least some of said web structures are non-planar, said non-planar web structures extending away from said body-facing surface of said adjacent boss structures and forming a hinge structure between adjacent boss structures, with said body-facing surface being more proximal to an occupant than said web structures when the occupant is supported by the seat structure, and wherein each of said plurality of web structures have a width, wherein said width of at least some of said web structures varies along a length of said web structure;
• and
• wherein at least some adjacent web structures defining said plurality of web structures are spaced apart such that said spaced apart adjacent web structures define openings therebetween.

A seating structure comprising:

• a plurality of boss structures arranged in a pattern;
• a plurality of web structures joining adjacent boss structures within said pattern, wherein at least some of said web structures are non-planar and wherein each of said plurality of web structures have a width, wherein said width of at least some of said web structures varies along a length of said web structure;
• and
• wherein at least some adjacent web structures defining said plurality of web structures are spaced apart such that said spaced apart adjacent web structures define openings therebetween, and wherein said at least some of said web structures each have a hinge apex, wherein said width of said web structure is greatest at said hinge apex.

A seating structure comprising:

• a plurality of boss structures arranged in a pattern and defining a support surface;
• a plurality of web structures joining adjacent boss structures within said pattern;
• and
• wherein at least some adjacent web structures defining said plurality of web structures are spaced apart and shaped such that said spaced apart adjacent web structures define substantially X-shaped openings therebetween when viewed in a direction substantially perpendicular to said support surface, and wherein said plurality of boss structure comprises at least a first boss structure have a first lateral length and a first longitudinal length, wherein at least a second boss structure has a second lateral length and a second longitudinal length, wherein said first and second lateral lengths are different and said first and second longitudinal lengths are different.
