An article of adjustable furniture such as a recliner or adjustable bed comprises a base 16, an intermediate support 18 and a back support 20. The intermediate support moves relative to the base via first guide means (36, 38 figure 4). The back support moves relative to both the base and intermediate support via second guide means 72. The second guide means includes at least one guide (76, figure 5) and at least one follower (48, figure 5). The back support is mounted for pivotal movement with respect to the intermediate support. The first and second guide means are arranged such that pivoting of the back support causes the intermediate support to move with respect to the base. The second guide means may form part of a lever connecting the back support with the intermediate support. The arrangement of the guide means may provide a zero-wall mechanism so that the article may be placed close to a wall. |
