Abstract
A device for providing a fatigue-reducing position of a vehicle seat is provided. A first latch unit is mounted on a rear seat cushion such that a first striker mounted on a front seatback is fastened thereto in a lockable manner. A second latch unit is mounted on a rear surface portion of a rear seatback. A sliding-locking unit is mounted on a package panel disposed behind a rear seat in a height adjustable manner. A second striker is provided on a front end of the sliding-locking unit to be fastened to the second latch unit in a lockable manner. A seat in a second or third row in the cabin of a vehicle is detachable from the original position to be fixedly placed like a hammock between a front seat and a package panel to provide a fatigue-reducing position in which an occupant comfortably rests.
