Abstract: A support unit for use on an article of furniture includes an adjustable support structure displacably mountable to the article of furniture and a cushion member carried by the support structure. The support structure is configured to be arranged in a first orientation relative to the article of furniture for enabling the cushion member to adopt a first position relative to the article of furniture and in a second orientation (46) relative to the article of furniture for enabling the cushion member to adopt a second position relative to the article of furniture.

Abstract: A rest component (14), (16) for an article of furniture (10) includes a body member (32) defining a plurality of surfaces (34). A cover member (36) is carried by at least one surface (34) of the body member (32) to define a pocket (38) associated with the at least one surface (34), the pocket (38) defining a mouth to enable a user to gain access to an interior of the pocket (38). At least one passage (24) is defined by at least one of the body member (32) and the cover member (36) and opening out into the pocket (38). The passage (24) is configured to accommodate an elongate element which extends through the passage to exit from an operatively bottom region of the body member.

Abstract: An operating system (10) for operating an article of furniture (12), the article of furniture (12) comprising a support structure, at least one component displaceably arranged relative to the support structure and a receiver. The operating system (10) includes a (controller 34) which communicates wirelessly with the article of furniture (12), the controller (34) outputting operating signals (46) containing operating instructions. A signal processing module communicates with the wireless controller (34) via a routing arrangement (48), the signal processing module receiving the operating signals (46) and converting the operating signals into control signals to be provided to the receiver to effect displacement of the at least one component of the article of furniture (12) relative to the support structure under the control of a user.

Abstract: A rest component (12, 14) for an article of furniture (10) includes a body member (16) mountable to a platform (18) of the article of furniture (10), the body member (16) defining a plurality of surfaces (20). A cover member (26) is carried by the body member (16) to define a pocket (32) associated with at least one surface (20) of the body member (16), the pocket (32) defining a mouth (34) to enable a user to gain access to an interior of the pocket (32). At least one receiving formation (36) is carried by the body member (16) within the pocket (32), the cover member (26) concealing the at least one receiving formation (36).

Abstract: A rest component 12, 14 for an article of furniture 10 includes a body member 16 mountable to a platform 18 of the article of furniture 10, the body member 16 defining a plurality of surfaces 20. A cover member 26 is carried by the body member 16 to define a pocket 32 associated with at least one surface 20 of the body member 16, the pocket 32 defining a mouth 34 to enable a user to gain access to an interior of the pocket 32. At least one receiving formation 36 is carried by the body member 16 within the pocket 32, the cover member 26 concealing the at least one receiving formation 36.
