Abstract
An upholstery element (21) for a seat, in particular of a motor vehicle, comprises fibres that are bonded by means of a binder to form an air-permeable moulding and a sheet-like spacer component (18), which is arranged on the seating surface side of the moulding. The fibres and the spacer component (18) are directly bonded to each other by the binder. The upholstery element (21) can be produced by the sheet-like spacer component (18) being placed in the cavity of an opened mould (2), scattered with the fibres, sprayed with the binder and subsequently compressed by closing the mould (2).
