A method for manufacturing a seat cushion material, the seat cushion material including a front layer part and a back layer part having a back side surface, the method including: preparing for molding the seat cushion by attaching the back layer part to an upper die having an upper cavity surface; molding the seat cushion material by adding foamed resin raw material forming on a lower cavity surface of a lower die and then by closing the upper die to which the back layer part is attached, the lower cavity surface being provided with a plurality of protrusions which is configured to be brought into contact with a seating surface side of the back layer part and press the back layer part against the upper cavity surface when the upper die to which the back layer part is attached is closed; and demolding the molded seat cushion material.

A method for forming a skin-foam architecture for a seat. The method includes loading a backing cover into a first portion of the tool. The method includes applying and curing a skin on a second portion of the tool, the skin including a first layer, and a second layer under the first layer. The method includes laminating a mesh under the skin. The method includes attaching and curing a foam layer under the mesh and the skin. The method includes mating the first and second portions of the tool. The method includes introducing foam between the mated first and second portions of the tool.
