Abstract
Attachment of a suspension mat to a tubular seat frame is accomplished by partially or fully forming the tubular frame at the location of the attachment with a concave surface. The suspension mat has a J-clip fastener which conforms to the shape of the formed tube and is fitted around the tube and seated partially into the formed concave area. By forming the tube, and producing a concave surface portion on the tube, the J-clip fastener can be seated on the bent edge of the concave surface portion and prevented from rotating about the tube axis.
