Abstract:
Apparatuses for supporting at least a portion of the body of a person include a flexible outer enclosure at least partially filled with particulate material. A first major surface of a cushion is disposed adjacent at least a portion of an interior surface of the outer enclosure. At least one vibration-generating device is disposed adjacent a second major surface of the cushion. Furniture covers configured to cover at least a portion of an article of furniture include a flexible outer enclosure, a cushion disposed at least a portion of an interior surface of the outer enclosure, and at least one vibration-generating device disposed adjacent the cushion. Methods for assembling a frameless article of furniture include positioning at least one vibration-generating device adjacent a cushion, positioning the cushion adjacent an interior surface of a flexible outer enclosure, and inserting particulate material into an interior region of the flexible outer enclosure.
