US 9,517,709 B2 · Vehicle seat

Abstract

A vehicle seat is obtained capable of suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles in natural leather employed in a cover while suppressing a reduction in seating comfort of the seat. A non-woven fabric is disposed between a foam member and a foam member, so as to cover a portion of contact with the buttocks of a seated occupant, as viewed from above. The non-woven fabric suppresses extension and contraction of natural leather at the pressed portion, thereby suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles in the natural leather at the pressed portion. By only suppressing the extension-contraction amount of the natural leather at the portion where wrinkles are liable to occur, the occurrence of wrinkles in the natural leather can be suppressed while suppressing a reduction in the seating comfort of the seat.
