1. A seating arrangement, comprising: a base support;a support arrangement configured to support a seated user and movable between an upright position and a reclined position; anda spring arrangement positioned between the base support and the support arrangement, the spring arrangement comprising: a first portion attached to the support arrangement;a second portion attached to the base support;an intermediate portion positioned between the first portion and the second portion;a first spring member configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position;a second spring member configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position, the second spring member spaced from the first spring member; andan adjustment member positioned between the first portion and the intermediate portion, the adjustment member adjustable between a first position where the first spring member exerts a first force on the first portion and the second spring exerts a second force on the intermediate portion, and a second position where the first spring member exerts a third force on the first portion that is different than the first force and the second spring exerts a fourth force on the intermediate portion that is different than the second force. 2. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first position is located rearwardly of the second position. 3. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the third force is greater than the first force and the fourth force. 4. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first portion is pivotably coupled to the second portion. 5. The seating arrangement of claim 4, wherein the intermediate portion is pivotably coupled to the second portion. 6. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the support arrangement includes a seat support arrangement. 7. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first portion, the second portion and the intermediate portion are located in a single vertical plane. 8. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first spring member and the second spring member comprises a cantilevered spring. 9. The seating arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first portion, the second portion and the intermediate portion each include a substantially straight section that are substantially parallel with one another when the support arrangement is in the upright position. 10. A seating arrangement, comprising: a base support;a support arrangement configured to support a seated user and movable between an upright position and a reclined position; anda spring arrangement positioned between the base support and the support arrangement, the spring arrangement comprising: a first portion attached to the support arrangement;a second portion attached to the base support;a first spring member configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position, wherein the first portion and the second portion each include a substantially straight section that are substantially parallel with one another when the support arrangement is in the upright position and are not substantially parallel with one another when the support arrangement is in the reclined position, and wherein the first spring member includes a first U-shaped section extending between the first portion and the second portion; andan adjustment member positioned between the first portion and the second portion, the adjustment member adjustable between a first position where the first spring member exerts a first force on the first portion, and a second position where the first spring member exerts a second force on the first portion that is different than the first force. 11. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein the spring arrangement further comprises an intermediate portion positioned between the first portion and the second portion, and a second spring member configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position. 12. The seating arrangement of claim 11, wherein the second spring member includes a second U-shaped section extending between the second portion and the intermediate portion. 13. The seating arrangement of claim 12, wherein the second U-shaped section has a radius of curvature that is less that a radius of curvature of the first U-shaped section. 14. The seating arrangement of claim 11, wherein the second spring exerts a third force on the intermediate portion when the adjustment member is in the first position and a fourth force on the intermediate portion when the adjustment member is in the second position, and wherein the fourth force is different that the third force. 15. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein the spring arrangement further includes a second spring member configured to bias the support arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position, and wherein the second spring includes a coil spring. 16. The seating arrangement of claim 15, wherein the spring arrangement further includes a pretensioning arrangement configured to pretension the coil spring between a first tension and a second tension that is greater than the first tension while the support arrangement remains in the upright position. 17. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein the first position is located rearwardly of the second position. 18. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein the second force is greater than the first force. 19. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein the support arrangement includes a seat support arrangement. 20. The seating arrangement of claim 10, wherein at least one of the first spring member comprises a cantilevered spring.
