A process for manufacturing a trim cover assembly constituting the surface of an automotive seat or airplane seat is disclosed and comprises the step of forming a covering material and a foam wadding with a plurality of recessed grooves on the surface thereof. The process also includes the step of forming the covering material in the trim cover assembly by a thermal press or the like into a predetermined uneven configuration. Then, the thus-formed covering material is adhesively bonded to the surface of the foam wadding so that various kinds of uneven configurations are available for use as the surface of the trim cover assembly.
