In the door center pad, a thick section and a thin section are formed, and the sewed portion is provided in the thin section.

An interior member comprising:
- a pad including a thin-walled portion and a thick-walled portion, the pad being elastically deformable;
- a skin member that covers the pad;
- a sewn region produced by sewing the pad and the skin member to each other with a sewing thread;
- and
- a base that supports the pad thereon,
- wherein:
- the sewn region is disposed on the thin-walled portion of the pad,
- the thin-walled portion is made thinner than the thick-walled portion so as to reduce a reaction force applied from the pad to the sewing thread, and
