A chair is a piece of furniture for sitting, consisting
of a seat, a back, and sometimes arm rests, commonly
for use by one person. Chairs also often have four
legs to support the seat raised above the floor.
Without back and arm rests it is called a stool.
A chair for more than one person is a couch, sofa,
settee, loveseat, recliner or bench. A separate
footrest for a chair is known as an ottoman, hassock
or pouffe. A chair mounted in a vehicle or in a
theater is simply called a seat. Chairs as furniture
typically can be moved.
The back often does not extend all the way to the
seat to allow for ventilation. Likewise, the back
and sometimes the seat are made of porous materials
or have holes drilled in them for decoration and
ventilation.
The back may extend above the height of the head.
There may be separate headrests. Headrests for seats
in vehicles are important for preventing whiplash
injuries to the neck when the vehicle is involved
in a rear-end collision... |
