A laminated composite interior component, having cushioning property, including a first member having a predetermined mating surface, and a second member made of an elastically deformable resin material, having a plate portion on and parallel to the mating surface and multiple solid protrusions formed integrally with the plate portion and having tip ends that protrude toward and contact the mating surface, and flexural rigidity of each protrusion against a compressive load having anisotropy around an axis perpendicular to the plate portion. Each of the protrusions have a longitudinal shape in a transverse section parallel to the plate portion and have one or more stepped portions, with a smaller section at its tip end side, in one of a pair of sidewalls located in a lateral direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the longitudinal shape. Each protrusion is tilted toward a sidewall opposite the stepped portion.
A laminated composite interior component including a first member having a predetermined mating surface, and a second member made of an elastically deformable resin material, having a plate portion substantially parallel to the mating surface and multiple solid protrusions formed integrally with the plate portion so as to protrude toward the mating surface so that space is created between the plate portion and the mating surface, and placed on the first member such that the protrusions contact the mating surface, and the laminated composite interior component having cushioning properties as tip ends of the protrusions are pressed against the mating surface and elastically deformed,
