ABSTRACT:
A seat which is conformable to the shape and position of a user. A conformable apparatus is mountable within the seat and includes a plurality of belts which extend laterally across the seat. A plurality of sensors, one associated with each of the belts, are provided to detect the shape and position of selected portions of the user's torso on the seat. A control circuit, responsive to the sensors, controls movement of sliders mounted within channels within the conformable apparatus to control the length and shape of the belts so as to vary the length of the belts to conform the belts and the overlying seat fabric to the shape of the user.
