A flexible polyurethane foam molded article includes a plurality of layer parts (L1 to L10) that are layered in a vertical direction (Y) perpendicular to a stage surface (1A). When the entire flexible polyurethane foam molded article is compressed by 15% in the vertical direction (Y), the front surface layer (L1) positioned closest to the stage surface (1A) in the vertical direction (Y) among the plurality of layer parts (L1 to L10) has the lowest residual thickness ratio in the vertical direction (Y) among the plurality of layer parts (L1 to L10). When the entire flexible polyurethane foam molded article is compressed by 50% in the vertical direction (Y), the back surface layer (L10) positioned closest to a non-stage surface (1B) of the flexible polyurethane foam molded article in the vertical direction (Y) among the plurality of layer parts (L1 to L10) has the highest residual thickness ratio in the vertical direction (Y) among the plurality of layer parts (L1 to L10).

Since each covering portion (each side frame) is interposed between a first leg portion and a second leg portion of a corresponding one of insert members, even if a relatively large load is applied to side portions of a cushion pad from an occupant, it is possible to restrict deformation of the side portions toward outer sides in left-right directions (rotation of the insert members) by engagement of each support frame with the first and second leg portions. Therefore, it is possible to improve the ability to support an occupant by the side portions.

A vehicle seat including: a seat frame; a seat pad covering the seat frame, a back surface of the seat pad including a seat frame covering part that covers the seat frame; and a back surface material made of cloth and covering a part of the seat frame covering part other than an edge of the seat frame covering part, the back surface material being interposed between the seat frame covering part and a surface of the seat frame, wherein, in a state where the seat frame is covered with the seat pad, at least the edge of the seat frame covering part is distanced from the surface of the seat frame.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback frame. A bolster insert is positioned on a side bolster of the seatback frame. A foam layer is positioned over the seatback frame. A trim cover is positioned over the foam layer. The foam layer and the trim cover are contoured to expose the bolster insert.

A vehicle seating assembly having a seat back including a polymeric body portion defining a support frame having a plurality of forwardly extending connection pins disposed about a periphery of a forward surface of the support frame. A flexible comfort carrier is disposed over a front surface of the polymeric body portion and includes a multitude of openings defining a support matrix configured to support the weight of a passenger. The body portion includes a plurality of slots configured to receive and engage the plurality of forwardly extending connection pins. A cushion layer extends over the flexible comfort carrier. A head restraint extends upwardly from the forward support frame.

A seat core member of a seat portion provided with the seat core member made of a hard synthetic resin foam and a cushion layer made of a soft synthetic resin foam and covering the seat core member is provided, and the seat core member includes a plurality of ridges extending in a rising direction of the seat core member in a rising portion of the seat core member being in contact with the cushion layer and opposing to calves of a body is formed.

A foam part (5, 105, 205, 305), in particular for a vehicle seat, includes a first foam layer (11, 111, 211, 311) facing a user and a second foam layer (21, 221) facing away from the user. The first foam layer has a hardness and/or density that is different from the hardness or density of the second foam layer (21, 221). The first foam layer includes several comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350) facing the user. A method for producing such a foam part (5, 105, 205, 305) includes a first step in which the first foam layer, having the comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350), is foamed and a second step in which the second foam layer (21, 221) is foamed. A tool (500) for producing a foam part (5, 105, 205, 305) includes a bottom part (510), a frame (520), and a top part (530).

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback frame and a seat frame defining a seating frame. A plurality of distinct assembly modules are configured for attachment with the seating frame. The plurality of distinct assembly modules include a back cushion module, a hard back module, a headrest module, and a seat cushion module. The seat cushion module includes a composite cushion pan having a rearward support defining an intermediate open area. A forward support is pivotally coupled to the rearward support. A suspension assembly is disposed in the intermediate open area. A cushion extends over the composite cushion pan. A coverstock covers the cushion.

A vehicle seat has an airbag module arranged in a seat bottom cushion. The seat bottom cushion is covered by a cover and comprises at least a first, relatively softer, comfort foam element adjacent to the cover and a second, relatively harder or firmer, protective foam element. The airbag module is positioned within a cavity defined in and by the second foam element so that it is at least partially surrounded by the harder second foam to protect the airbag module from downward forces applied to the seat bottom.
