Sedadla

Sedadla (singular sedadlo) is the Czech term for seats—objects or built-in structures designed to support a person in a seated posture. The term covers a wide range of contexts, from residential and office furniture such as chairs, armchairs, stools, and benches, to transportation seating in cars, buses, trains, airplanes, ships, and stadium or auditorium seating.

Construction and design: Sedadla typically have a frame of wood, metal, or molded plastic; padding made of foam or springs; and upholstery in fabric, leather, or vinyl. Vehicle seats often include headrests, lumbar support, and adjustable features, as well as safety elements such as seat belts or airbags integrated with the seat.

Variants and usage: In furniture, sedadla emphasize comfort, appearance, and durability, with ergonomic and adjustable designs for work or home. In public and transport settings, seating emphasizes safety, space efficiency, durability, accessibility, and ease of maintenance.

Ergonomics and care: Effective sedadla support the spine and pelvis, distribute load, and reduce fatigue. Materials influence climate comfort; regular cleaning and inspection maintain structural integrity.

Safety and accessibility: Public seating and transport seating are subject to safety standards and accessibility requirements, including spaces for wheelchairs and designated seating.
