Claims1
A lounge comprising:
- a matrix mat and a plurality of modules capable of being inserted into the matrix mat, wherein the matrix mat and the plurality of modules form a lounge surface for supporting a person,
- a modular frame having a tri-cable suspension, said tri-cable suspension attached to a dilator retractor mechanism and to one or more U-Bow suspension apparatuses, the one or more U-Bow suspension apparatus providing support to the matrix mat,
- wherein adjustment of the dilator retractor causes:
- tightening of cables of the tri-cable suspension, which more firmly presses the one or more U-Bow suspension apparatus against an underside of the matrix mat to provide a firm supporting surface atop the matrix mat, or
- loosening of the cables of the tri-cable suspension, which more loosely supports the one or more U-Bow suspension apparatus against an underside of the matrix mat to provide a soft supporting surface atop the matrix mat.
