Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a seat padding (4), in particular for an aircraft seat, of the type comprising a supporting body (6) of foamed plastic, which consists of a supporting part (7) of a resilient plastic foam (42) having a first specific gravity and a sitting part (8) of a resilient plastic foam with a second specific gravity which is less than the specific gravity of the supporting part (7) and an upholstery material (62), which are connected, in particular are glued in places together. Between the supporting body (6) and the upholstery material (62), if required, a flame-resistant intermediate layer (51) formed from a lattice or from high temperature-resistant fibers or threads (52), is arranged in a lattice form. At least over a portion of the thickness (12) of the supporting part (7) and/or of the sitting part (8) between a front and/or back leading edge (11, 25) of the supporting part and/or sitting part (7, 8) and approximately in a central region thereof, an insert piece (9,84) is arranged. The latter has a greater hardness than the supporting and/or sitting part (7,8). The specific gravity of the insert piece (9,84) is less than the first specific gr…
