The resilient foam element is in contact with the back of an occupant of the vehicular seat. The article can be one or more of an occupant restraint element, a cargo element and an automotive accessory. Advantageously, this combination of elements results in a vehicular seat, which is of light weight construction and passes the FMVSS 225 test requirement.
