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 vehicle seating assembly having a seat including a support frame. A seatback is pivotally coupled with the seat and is adjustable between a passenger support position configured to support the weight of a passenger and a cargo position. The seatback is folded forward to a substantially horizontal position. A seat cushion includes a dynamic forward portion and a generally static rearward portion. An articulation feature is disposed below the forward portion of the seat cushion. The articulation feature is operable between a deployed and a non-deployed position. Movement to the deployed position results in the dynamic forward portion of the seat cushion being adjusted to a raised position. Movement to the non-deployed position results in the dynamic forward portion of the seat cushion being adjusted to a lowered position that allows the seatback to fold forward to the cargo position.

A vehicle seating assembly for a motor vehicle has a lower seat comprising a cushion frame assembly connected to a vehicle floor, the cushion frame assembly comprising a cushion pan that forms a forward portion of the cushion frame assembly. A pair of independent thigh supports is symmetrically disposed along either side of a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle seating assembly and is operably coupled to the cushion pan, wherein each of the independent thigh supports comprises a resilient member having a predetermined hysteresis support-curve to provide independent and resilient support for each thigh of an occupant's legs. A cushion foam assembly is disposed above and operably coupled to the cushion frame, a forward portion of the cushion foam assembly being supported by the pair of independent thigh supports.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular for rail transport, with a seat part, with a backrest part and with a soft upholstery section arranged on at least one hard seat plate for upholstering a seat surface of the seat part, in which the upholstery section has an upholstery cover on the upper side and an upholstery foam section which covers the entire surface of the upholstery cover, the upholstery foam section having at least one recess on the underside in which a plurality of foam spring elements arranged next to one another in the form of hollow cylinders are embedded.
