There is provided a vehicle seat (car seat) comprising a seat cushion pad (seat body) having an air passage connected to an outlet port (114), and a blower having an inlet port (113) and configured to feed air taken in through the inlet port (113) to the air passage. The blower (100) is located on the lower side of the seat cushion pad (seat body) that is opposite to an occupant's side on which an occupant is to be seated, and the inlet port (113) is directed upward that is a direction toward the seat cushion pad (seat body).

A wire harness connected to a sensor is positioned on a back surface of a pad of a vehicle seat supported by a panel. The vehicle seat (1) includes a panel (4); a pad (11, 51) supported by the panel; a skin material (12, 52) covering a front surface of the pad; and a sensor (32) provided between the front surface of the pad and the skin material for acquiring information on a seat occupant, wherein the pad is provided with a through hole (35, 58) passed from the front surface of the pad to a back surface of the pad, and a recess (45, 61) formed in the back surface of the pad and connected to the through hole, the wire harness connected to the sensor extending in the through hole and the recess.

An air distribution device that includes an air inlet (44), a first air outlet (46), a second air outlet (48), and a door (52). The door (52) is configured to move relative to the first air outlet (46) and the second air outlet (48) to adjust an airflow provided through the air inlet (44), the first air outlet (46) and the second air outlet (48). The air distribution device may be used in a vehicle seat, a vehicle, or both.

Various embodiments include illustrative vehicle seats, systems, vehicles, and methods for circulating airflow through a vehicle seat. An illustrative vehicle seat includes a cushion. The cushion is adapted to provide airflow therethrough. The cushion defines a primary airflow path directed to a primary outlet formed in a supporting portion of the cushion. The supporting portion of the cushion is adapted to receive direct body contact with a vehicle occupant while the vehicle occupant is seated within the vehicle seat. The cushion also defines a secondary airflow path directed to a secondary outlet formed in a non-supporting portion of the cushion.

A cushion having a fibrous foam architecture. The cushion has a trim cover and a number of fibrous layers attached to the trim cover. One or more structural properties of a fibrous layer can be controlled to differ from that of other layers.
