An apparatus for manufacturing a seat comprising:

• a turntable rotatable 360 degrees in a circular direction, said turntable being so arranged that it is rotatable intermittently at 90-degree intervals;
• a plurality of lower dies arranged on said turntable such that they are disposed in 90-degree interval relationship with each other and are rotatable together with said turntable;
• and
• a plurality of elements so arranged that they are disposed in 90-degree interval relationship with each other on a path where said plurality of lower dies are travelled, said elements including:
• a station for supplying top cover members to be affixed to said plurality of lower dies, and for unloading assembled seats;
• a heating mechanism for applying a heat to said top cover member affixed to said lower dies;
• a forming mechanism for press forming said top cover member on said lower dies by means of upper dies into a predetermined shape;
• and
• a pressure bonding mechanism for bonding a foam cushion member to said top cover member.
