Abstract

The invention relates generally to a seating system and more particularly to seat cushion assemblies having a rearward depression and cushioning insert tailored to fit under the skeletal structure of the user. In particular, the assembly preferably includes an inflatable air insert which is made of a series of pleated air cells where the insert generally has the same outline as the depression. The insert can be inflated during use using a one-handed pump.
