Abstract
A suspension assembly for use in a chair or sofa seat having a top strap secured to a bottom strap forming a pocket into which a rigid frame is inserted. In a first preferred embodiment, the rigid frame biases the straps both together and longitudinally towards the pocket ends. In a second preferred embodiment, the rigid frame biases the straps both open and longitudinally towards the pocket ends. Springs are inserted into the pocket to continually bias the pocket open. The opposing biasing forces of the frame and the springs form a pretensioned suspension assembly that may be installed in seating applications without further stretching of the assembly during installation in a chair or sofa frame.
