Abstract

A seat for use in vehicles such as automobiles, airplanes and the like is disclosed which is formed by adhesively attaching a trim cover assembly to a cushion member formed of a foam material. The trim cover assembly comprises a center portion and a side bolster portion which are formed separately from each other. The ends of the center and side bolster portions of the trim cover assembly are respectively inserted into and bonded to the cushion member, so that loads applied to the center portion of the trim cover assembly will not be transmitted to the side bolster portion of the trim cover assembly.
