Abstract
A vehicle seat has a foot and/or calf support, a lower seat part which has a seat surface and can be coupled to a vehicle structure having an interior floor in a preferably longitudinally displaceable manner, and a backrest having a backrest surface. The foot and/or calf support has a support surface that is arranged in front of the lower seat part and is movable between a stowed position and a use position. The foot and/or calf support is arranged with a first seat-side edge in front of, on or under the lower seat part and includes a free edge which is remote from the seat-side edge and is arranged in front of the lower seat part so as to be spaced apart from the lower seat part and is coupled to the vehicle structure. The foot and/or calf support is formed by or has at least one support element having the support surface, the support element being designed as an at least two-dimensionally flexible sheet material.
