Technical knit archtectures for comfort seating

A vehicle seat, comprising:

• a first knitted fabric layer defining an outer surface;
• a second knitted fabric layer defining an inner surface, wherein the inner surface is opposite the outer surface;
• an interconnection coupling the first knitted fabric layer to the second knitted fabric layer, wherein the interconnection resiliently biases the first knitted fabric layer and the second knitted fabric layer away from one another, and the interconnection is configured to buckle when a seated occupant exerts an occupant load on the vehicle seat;
• wherein the first knitted fabric layer is more elastic than the second knitted fabric layer to conform to the seated occupant when the seated occupant exerts the occupant load on the vehicle seat;
• and
• wherein the interconnection includes a first support area and a second support area spaced apart from each other along a horizontal direction, the first support area and the second support area are stiffer than a rest of the interconnection to constrain load transfer when the seated occupant exerts the occupant load on the vehicle seat, and the first support area and second support area are positioned to receive a pair of sit bones of the seated occupant, the interconnection includes a knitted spacer fabric, the knitted spacer fabric includes a plurality of pile yarns interconnecting the first knitted fabric layer and the second knitted fabric layer, and the pile yarns forming the first support area and the second support area are stiffer and/or denser that the pile yarns forming a rest of the knitted spacer fabric.
