Abstract

The invention relates to a seat, particularly a vehicle seat, having a cushion support and a cushion which is supported on the cushion support. The cushion has a seat surface and an edge area surrounding this surface and is composed of a cubical cushion body which encompasses the seat surface and of a foamed-to-shape edge part which rests on the lateral surfaces of the cushion body and fills the edge area. This provides optimal seat pressure distribution and the air-conditioned sitting comfort, while reducing the required proportion of manual work. The cushion support, which accommodates the cushion body as well as the edge part, is constructed in an air-permeable manner and the other hand, the cushion body consists of an air-permeable nonwoven material, while the edge part is manufactured of polyurethane foam or another material having the same characteristics, and is connected with cushion body.
