Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a seat cushion comprising: providing a cushion comprising a 3D entanglement of continuous thermoplastic fibers, arranged irregularly or randomly forming loops heat-sealed together and hot-pressing of the 3D entanglement of fibers into one or more local 3D entanglement areas so as to obtain one or more densified, stiffened local areas of the cushion, the local area(s) being configured to serve as a fastening area. The present disclosure also relates to a cushion obtained according to the manufacturing method, and a seat comprising such a cushion and a cap attached to the densified, stiffened local area(s).

A method for manufacturing a seat cushion comprising:
- providing a cushion comprising a 3D entanglement of continuous thermoplastic fibers, arranged irregularly, forming loops that are heat-sealed to one another, and hot-pressing of the 3D entanglement of fibers into one or more local 3D entanglement areas so as to obtain one or more densified, stiffened local areas of the cushion that are denser and stiffer than the other area of the cushion, the local area(s) being configured to serve as a fastening area.
