Seat and seat production method

A seat comprising:

• a pad;
• a cover that covers a surface of the pad, the cover having an inward-suspending portion projecting in a direction approaching the pad from a side opposite to the pad;
• and
• an inward-suspending member that fixes the inward-suspending portion to the pad,
• wherein the inward-suspending portion includes a linear part and a curved part continuous with each other,
• the inward-suspending member includes a main body of a strip shape, the main body having a first edge and a second edge that extend in a longitudinal direction, and a rigid part of a linear shape, the rigid part having flexural rigidity higher than that of the main body and attached to the first edge of the main body,
• the main body of the inward-suspending member is superposed on the inward-suspending portion of the cover in a state where the rigid part extends in parallel with an end edge at a position spaced outwards from the end edge extending in a longitudinal direction of the inward-suspending portion and a part of the second edge on the upper side of the main body overlaps the cover,
• the main body is sewn continuously to the inward-suspending portion, from the linear part to the curved part, and
• the inward-suspending portion is fixed to the pad in a state in which the main body of the inward-suspending member extends along the inward-suspending portion without being folded back,
• the inward-suspending portion is formed by sewing together two cover parts adjacent to each other, the two cover parts making up the cover,
• a portion where the main body is sewn to the inward-suspending portion is at a position closer to an end edge of the inward-suspending portion, the end edge extending in a longitudinal direction, than a portion where the two cover parts are sewn together on the inward-suspending portion, and
• the second edge of the main body of the inward-suspending member is located above the portion where the two cover parts are sewn together on the inward-suspending portion and is in contact with the cover part located outside the curved part as a surface of the cover that is opposite to the pad.
