Abstract
A vehicle seat has a cushion integrated in a seat part and/or in a backrest. The cushion has a ventilation layer, through which air can flow, and an air-permeable cushion cover which spans the cushion surface. At least one electrically driven ventilator blows air into the ventilation layer. In order to optimize efficiency and rapidity of seat ventilation when cooling heated seat surfaces and achieve a compact seat construction without any space demands under the cushion of the seat part and behind the cushion of the backrest, the ventilator is constructed such that it takes air in axially and blows air out at least radially and is arranged in the ventilation layer itself. The intake opening of the ventilator is exposed on the side of the cushion facing away from the cushion cover.
