Seat switch assembly controlling one or multiple devices applicable within a vehicle seat

A compression activated switch assembly, comprising:

• at least two compression activated switches, each said switch comprising an electrically conductive contact layer pair formed of a conductive first contact layer for electrically connecting to a power source, and a conductive second contact layer spaced from said first contact layer for connecting to an application, and a resilient layer sandwiched between said first and second contact layers and having at least one foam layer port;
• such that weight placed on the switch assembly compresses each resilient layer and thereby advances a first contact layer of each contact layer pair toward a corresponding second contact layer of each contact layer pair until said first and second contact layers all make electrically conductive contact through the at least one resilient layer port of the resilient layer of the contact layer pair, closing all of said switches in the switch assembly and thereby delivering electric current from at least one power source to multiple applications connected to corresponding said switches;
• wherein said contact layer pairs are arrayed vertically to form a stack of switches, each said contact layer pair in said stack is separated from vertically adjacent contact layer pairs by electrically insulating means.
