Abstract
Vehicular seat suspension systems that do not include scissor mechanisms or pivot joints to improve lateral stability and substantially eliminate deflection during operation, testing and/or crashes. In particular, the seat suspension systems include an inner element that is able to slide within a static outer element, allowing the system to bear high loads while ensuring lateral stability and substantially eliminating deflection experienced by convention seat suspension systems.
