• a couch cushion, the couch cushion covering at least a part of the area for the at least one person to sit on;
• and
• a seat support engaged with the couch cushion, the seat support comprising:
• a substantially rigid base sheet;
• at least one arm support, the at least one support attached to a lateral side of the base sheet, defining a rearward extending plane, and extending vertically away from the base sheet, the at least one arm support defining a cushion receiving region facing the rearward extending plane, and a support handle;
• the at least one arm support having a first elongate vertical portion extending lengthwise approximately perpendicularly away from the base sheet, the vertical portion attached to the base sheet at a proximal end, an elongate horizontal portion extending lengthwise from a distal end of the vertical portion approximately parallel to the base sheet, the horizontal portion extending from a front of the base sheet towards a rear of the base sheet to form the support handle, a second elongate vertical portion of the at least one arm support extending downward at a distal end of the horizontal portion, the second vertical portion extending towards the base sheet approximately perpendicularly to the base sheet;
• the substantially rigid base sheet having a cross sectional footprint area greater than 50% of a cross sectional area of the couch cushion placed within the cushion receiving region, and covering a center point of an area of the cushion receiving region;
• wherein the substantially rigid base sheet further defines a bottom of the cushion receiving region and engages an underside of the cushion;
• and
• wherein the at least one arm support is connected to the base sheet by being secured in a slot with the first elongate vertical portion engaging a front face of the cushion.

A chair comprising:

• a body, the chair body forming an area for a person to sit on;
• a chair cushion, the chair cushion covering at least a part of the area for the person to sit on;
• and
• a seat support engaged with the chair cushion, the seat support comprising:
• a substantially rigid base sheet;
• at least one arm support comprising an elongate member, the at least one support attached to a lateral side of the base sheet, the elongate member bent to have portions extending longitudinally in a plurality of directions defining a rearward extending plane, and extending vertically away from the base sheet, the at least one arm support defining a cushion receiving region opening rearwardly in the rearward extending plane, and a support handle;
• the at least one arm support having a first elongate vertical portion extending lengthwise approximately perpendicularly away from the base sheet, the vertical portion attached to the base sheet at a proximal end, an elongate horizontal portion extending lengthwise from a distal end of the vertical portion approximately parallel to the base sheet, the horizontal portion extending from a front of the base sheet towards a rear of the base sheet to form the support handle, a second elongate vertical portion of the at least one arm support extending downward at a distal end of the horizontal portion, the second vertical portion extending towards the base sheet approximately perpendicularly to the base sheet;
• the substantially rigid base sheet having a cross sectional footprint area greater than 50% of a cross sectional area of the chair cushion placed within the cushion receiving region, and covering a center point of an area of the cushion receiving region;
• wherein the substantially rigid base sheet further defines a bottom of the cushion receiving region and engages an underside of the cushion;
• and
• wherein the at least one arm support is connected to the base sheet by being secured in a slot with the first elongate vertical portion engaging a front face of the cushion.
