A seating comprising a body, a seat section, a back section and a pivot-out foot support, at the side portions of the body a chassis with two parallel side cheeks being fixed, at the side cheeks adjustment levers (6, 7) being articulated that at further joint locations carry the seat section, so that the seat section is adjustable, from a basic position displaced toward the front edge of the seating or projecting beyond the front edge, into a rest position displaced toward the rear edge of the seating, the back section being firmly coupled to the seat section or being articulated on the seat section with adjustable inclination, the foot support being pivotable in and out via pairs of scissors-type linkage chains, the first ends (13, 14) of first and second linkage arms (15, 16) of the pairs of scissors-type linkage chains, respectively, being articulated at a distance from each other at a fitting element fixed at the rear side of the foot support, and the second ends (18, 19) of third and fourth linkage arms (23, 24) of the pairs of scissors-type linkage chains, respectively, being articulated at a distance from each other at a side cheek of the chassis, each fourth linkage arm being extended beyond the chassis-side joint location and forming the front adjustment lever of the seat portion, the articulation positions (20, 21) of the first ends (13, 14) of the first and second linkage arms (15, 16) being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the foot support and of the ledge-type fitting element fixed thereat by at least the width of the linkage arms as well as in the height direction of the foot support and of the ledge-type fitting element fixed thereat, the first articulation position being closer to the front end of the seat portion being disposed farer away from the rear side of the foot support by at least about the width of the second linkage arm with respect to the second articulation position being farer away from the front end of the seat portion, so that in the pivoted-out position, the foot support is aligned nearly horizontally and in the pivoted-in position, is displaced beyond the vertical plane defined by the front edge of the seat portion obliquely under the front edge, preferably until engaging the first and second linkage arms (15, 16) including the first ends (13, 14), and preferably so far that the foot support forms an acute angle from 30° to 50o with the vertical plane, characterized by that the first linkage arm including the first end articulated on the fitting element, has approximately two thirds of the length of the second linkage arm articulated at the fitting element, the third linkage arm that is articulated at the second end of the first linkage arm that is approximately as long as the second linkage arm, crosses the latter close to the joint location of the fourth linkage arm at the second linkage arm in a further joint location with a distance of approximately a quarter of the length of the second linkage arm from the joint location of the fourth linkage arm at the second linkage arm and with a distance of approximately a quarter of the length of the third linkage arm from the joint location between first and third linkage arms (15, 23), the crossing position being the further joint location, and the second ends (18, 19) of the third and fourth linkage arms (23, 24) are articulated at the side cheeks of the chassis.
