Abstract
Automobile seats having improved comfort have a spacer layer included within the layers of cushioning materials. The spacer layer has a large void volume and nearly unrestricted flow of air. Heated, cooled or ambient air can be forced into the spacer layer of the seat, making the seat more comfortable with respect to temperature and removal of perspiration.
