A dress cover for an extendable cushion may include a first section and at least a second section. The first section may be fabricated from a first, expandable material and the at least a second section may be fabricated from at least a second material. The first section may include a compressed top surface length when the extendable cushion is in a retracted state, and an expanded top surface length when the extendable cushion is in an extended state. The expanded top surface length may be greater than the compressed top surface length. The dress cover may be configured to have a smooth side profile when the extendable cushion is in either of the retracted state or the extended state. The side profile of the dress cover may be viewable when an aircraft seat including the extendable cushion with the dress cover is in a lie-flat or bed position.

A motor vehicle seat with a lying function has a seat cushion, a backrest which is arranged on a first end region of the seat cushion, and a calf support which can be elongated and which is arranged on a second end region of the seat cushion. The calf support is provided with a lifting device for lifting two outer support panels out of a rest position and into a support position which protrudes beyond a support surface of the calf support.

An occupant support may include a seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the seat bottom. In some embodiments, a leg support system is coupled to the seat bottom and configured to support an occupant's leg when in an extended position.

In order to provide an aircraft seat unit and an aircraft seat unit assembly capable of meeting various passenger requirements, an aircraft seat unit is provided with a seat portion including a first buttocks support layer and a second buttocks support layer, and a backrest portion. The seat portion is configured to be capable of changing states between a short seat portion state and a long seat portion state. The first buttocks support layer configured to support the buttocks of a passenger in the short seat portion state is harder than the second buttocks support layer configured to support the buttocks of the passenger in the long seat portion state.
