Abstract

A vehicle seat has a cushion supported by a suspension web extending within a rigid frame. The suspension web is elastically deformable in traction in a longitudinal direction and it is fixed to the frame at one of its longitudinal ends, while its other longitudinal end is fixed to a portion of a raising mechanism enabling the height of the seat proper to be adjusted by the user acting directly on the seat proper. The suspension web exerts traction on the raising mechanism that urges the seat proper upwards.
