A vehicle seat, comprising:

• a main frame including a seatback frame contoured along a back of an occupant;
• and
• a sub-frame suspended from a front face of the seat back frame through a plurality of strings while being allowed to swivel in accordance with a twisting motion of a lumbosacral area of the occupant;
• wherein the sub-frame includes a right longitudinal portion, a left longitudinal portion, and a lower lateral portion extending between the right longitudinal portion and the left longitudinal portion,
• the vehicle seat further comprising:
• a first elastic member that connects a right upper end of the right longitudinal portion of the sub-frame to the seat back frame;
• a second elastic member that connects a left upper end of the left longitudinal portion of the sub-frame to the seat back frame;
• and
• a universal joint mechanism that connects the lower lateral portion of the sub-frame to a lateral member of the seat back frame,
• wherein the first elastic member and the second elastic member are adapted to be elastically bent by the twisting motion of the lumbosacral area of the occupant to allow the sub-frame to swivel, and
• wherein the universal joint mechanism is adapted to allow the sub-frame to swivel while receiving a load applied to the sub-frame in an anteroposterior direction.
