Abstract
A seat assembly includes a seat frame assembly supporting a cushion carrier. A suspension system is suspended from the cushion carrier and includes one or more deflectable spring members that are fixedly coupled to a front portion of the cushion carrier at a first end and moveably coupled to a rear portion of the cushion carrier at a second end. The second end of the one or more deflectable spring members rotates on the rear portion of the cushion carrier as the suspension system moves between at-rest and flexed positions.
