Abstract

In a vehicle seat (1), in particular a motor-vehicle rear-seat bench, which takes up at least one seat position and at least one non-use or folded position in order to enlarge the loading area, having an articulated seat frame (3, 5, 7, 9), which has a cushion carrier (21) provided with a seat cushion (22), and having a backrest (27), which is coupled to the seat frame (3, 5, 7, 9) and has a backrest cushion (30), in which, during the transformation from the seat position into the non-use or folded position, the seat frame (3, 5, 7, 9) moves onto itself, and the backrest (27) and the cushion carrier (21) move relative to each other, the moving of a single part (5) of the vehicle seat (1) causes both a movement of the seat frame (3, 5, 7, 9) and a relative movement of the backrest (27) and the cushion carrier (21).
