Upholsterable base for seating furniture comprises a plurality of very low-density and light-weight foam panels including a pair of upright arm-panels and at least one intervening-panel wherein inter-panels angularity is maintained with opposed "angleiron-type" stiffener connections provided by flexible fabric sheeting adhered to the meeting foam panels. Thus, non-resilient inflexible framework is unnecessary for maintaining the armrests and backrest upright and perpendicular to each other. The fabric sheeting type stiffener connections are of low airflow permeability so as to prevent foam panel decompression by the seated occupant, though such stiffener connections are located below the armresting top-edge so as to enhance occupant comfort.
