Abstract
A chair construction includes a chair frame with a seat portion and a back portion and a flexible envelope that encompasses the chair frame. The envelope includes first and second layers having a first selected width between first left and right edges. The first and second layers are constructed of a slingable material. A third layer constructed of a non-slingable material and has a second selected width between second left and right edges where the second selected width is shorter than the first selected width of the first and second layers. The first and second left and right edges are aligned and the layers are secured together proximate the left and right edges to form the flexible envelope. When the envelope is positioned over the frame, the third layer is stretched a greater distance than the first and second layers, such that the non-slingable layer remains taut.
