An object of the present invention is to provide a seat wherein a surface material of the seat is not crumpled by sliding the surface material on a cushioning body thereof and while a person can sit comfortably in the seat, the seat has adequate hardness such that the weight of the person can be supported. A seat (1) comprises a surface material (2) and a cushioning body (6, 12) covered with the surface material. The cushioning body has a shape corresponding to an outline of the seat and is structured of a first cushioning body (6) as an upper layer and a second cushioning body (12) as a lower layer. The first cushioning body is intergral with at least a part of a back surface of the surface material and is connected with the second cushioning body. The first cushioning body has a contact surface (10) corresponding to the shape of a contact surface (13) of the second cushioning body. The first and second cushioning bodies have fasteners (11a, 11b, 14a, 14b), respectively. Those fasteners are intergral with the first and second cushioning body, respectively, and the first cushioning body and the second cushioning body are connected by those fasteners.
A seat comprising a surface material and a first cushioning body and a second cushioning body covered with said surface material,
A method for manufacturing a seat wherein said seat is structured of a cushioning body which is integral with a surface material and has a shape defining an outline of said seat, said cushioning body comprising a first cushioning body and a second cushioning body, said first and said second cushion bodies being connected to each other, comprising steps of:
A seat having a cushion covered in part by a surface material comprising, a first cushioning body constituting the upper layer of the cushion and having at least part of the surface material formed integrally therewith, a second cushioning body constituting the lower layer of the cushion, said first cushioning body having a main portion of generally uniform thickness and side portions continuing from said main portion and becoming gradually outwardly thinner and progressively outwardly harder, said main portion of said first cushioning body forming a seating surface and a first contact surface for engaging said second cushioning body, a second contact surface formed on said second cushioning body having a shape substantially corresponding to the shape of said first contact surface, at least one first fastener formed integrally in said first contact surface, and at least one second fastener formed integrally in said second contact surface and positioned for engagement with said first fastener, whereby said first and second cushioning bodies are selectively positioned and connected by joining said first and second fasteners.
