"...fitted itself to every changeable contour of their bodies..."
-Poul Anderson, The Corridors Of Time, CHAPTER FOURTEEN, p. 126.
Another example of Future Furniture.
Lockridge will have only one evening with the Wardens before he must embark on his mission to mislead Brann. Anderson is able to move his narrative through many ages, stages and places very quickly in a short novel. Unfortunately, this is the only text where we read about time corridors. I have just had another idea but must go out.

Kaor, Paul!
The use and spread of memory foam mattresses in beds (often adjustable to suit taste and comfort) is an early form of this kind of adjustable, body molding furniture. I think it's safe to say it will be used in chairs as well. Anderson's Technic Civilization stories and GENESIS also has that kind of furniture.
