The invention discloses a chair unit and a chair. The chair unit comprises a base, a slide rail
assembly, a seat support element, a
back support element, a first connecting rod and a second connectingrod, wherein the slide rail
assembly is vertically put on the base and is provided with a movable rail and a still rail; the seat support element comprises an outer seat and an inner seat; the innerseat is configured to always maintain an approximately horizontal state or a state of forming an
acute angle with a horizontal plane; an avoiding space is formed in the outer seat; the inner seat is selectively embedded into the avoiding space to be surrounded by the outer seat; the outer seat is hinged relative to the movable rail; and the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, the inner seat and the base form a four-connecting-rod mechanism. The invention firstly provides the chair unit capable of being freely converted between two states including a flat
sitting posture state anda standing posture state, and the conversion can be realized only through sliding matching of the slide rail
assembly. Compared with the prior art, the chair unit has the advantages that the structureis simple; the operation is very simple and convenient; and the cost is low. The invention further provides a chair which is matched with the chair unit to be used and has the advantages that the operation is simple and convenient, and the sitting and standing conversion is convenient and fast.
