Abstract
A lumbar support system for a seat backrest includes a fixed frame and a flexmat coupled to the fixed frame. The flexmat includes first and second outer wires and a plurality of transverse wires extending between the outer wires. A support element is coupled to a lower portion of the flexmat below the plurality of transverse wires for concurrent movement with the flexmat from a first position to a second position. The support element is anatomically contoured for lumbar and pelvic support, and the support element is constructed of a more rigid material than the flexmat.
