ABSTRACT:
A seat has a shapeable matrix which is constructed of a multiplicity of modular units arranged in longitudinal and transverse rows. The modular units have passageways extending therethrough and contact surfaces which surround open ends of the passageways. Flexible members extend longitudinally through the passageways of the modular units of each row to opposite edges of the matrix. Anchors hold ends of the flexible members to marginal edges of the matrix and tension-applying devices fitted to the members along marginal edges of the matrix allow the modular units to be clamped together so that the contact surfaces are held against one another initially at a pressure allowing the matrix to be contoured to fit selected portions of the human body and subsequently at a greater pressure thereby maintaining the matrix in its contoured shape.
