Abstract
A covering (3) for seating or reclining furniture (1), which is composed of a knit and aligned essentially in parallel with the mounting direction in a mounted condition transversely to a mounting direction, is elastically deformable, at least in one area, when under load transversely to the mounting direction. Accordingly it is suitable for adapting well to a body shape of a user.

A covering for seating or reclining furniture formed with a frame with opposing first and second legs, the covering comprising:
- a knitted fabric having areas of different elasticity based on different amounts of stitching per knitted row therein and, configured for fixation to the first and second legs of the frame;

- and
- wherein under a load imposed on the planar covering surface transversely to the mounting direction, the covering is elastically deformable, at least in one area.
