A load support structure (1) comprising: a first beam (6) laterally spaced from a second beam (7), each comprising first and second beam members (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) spaced apart to form a gap therebetween, said first and second beam members (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) comprising a first material, wherein the first and second beams (6, 7) are each configured to deform as each of the first and second beams (6, 7) is bent from an upright position to a reclined position; and a plurality of linking members (12, 212) bridging said gap and having first and second end portions (216, 218) coupled to said first and second beam members (6a, 6b; 7a, 7b), wherein at least some of said plurality of linking members (12, 212) comprise a second material different than said first material, and wherein said at least some of said plurality of linking members (12, 212) are put in tension as said first and second beams (6, 7) are moved from said upright position to said reclined position. |
