Method of improving seat comfort, seat, and cushion set according to the same

A cushion set comprising:

• a first cushion comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral surface extending between and around the top surface and the bottom surface, wherein the first cushion is disposed generally horizontally;
• a second cushion comprising a front surface, a rear surface, and a peripheral surface extending between and around the front surface and the rear surface, wherein the second cushion is disposed generally upright and above the top surface of the first cushion;
• and
• at least one connector joining a portion of the peripheral surface of the first cushion to the rear surface of the second cushion,
• wherein the connector is removably attached to the first cushion and the second cushion,
• wherein the connector joins the cushions such that at least a portion the second cushion is pulled down to remain in close proximity with the top surface of the first cushion when the first cushion is depressed under the weight of a user, thereby providing improved lower-back support to the user.

A method of improving seat comfort with a seat having a frame, the frame having a seat portion and a back portion, the seat also having a seat cushion positioned on the seat portion without being fixedly connected thereto, the seat cushion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral surface extending between and around the top surface and the bottom surface;

• the seat also having a back cushion adjacent to the back portion without being connected thereto, the back cushion having a front surface, a rear surface, and a peripheral surface extending between and around the front surface and the rear surface, the method comprising:
• providing a substantially non-elastic fabric connector;
• connecting a first end of the fabric connector to a portion of the peripheral wall of the seat cushion;
• and
• connecting a second, opposite end of the fabric connector to the rear surface of the back cushion,
• wherein the first and second ends are removably connected,
• wherein, when the connector is connected at the first end and the second end, a portion of the peripheral surface of the back cushion is disposed in close proximity to the top surface of the seat cushion,
• wherein the connector is configured such that at least a portion of the back cushion is pulled down to remain in close proximity with the top surface of the seat cushion when the seat cushion is depressed under the weight of a user, thereby providing improved lower-back support to the user.
