Abstract

A vehicle seat with a backrest (16) that has a backrest cushion (18) and a rear backrest cover (20), and an air-handling device that is associated with the backrest (16) and is connected to an air distribution device (30, 32) in the seat. The rear backrest cover (20) is at least partially air permeable, and covers at least one passage (27) of the air-handling device (23). The air exchanged between the environment and the air-handling device (23) passes for the most part through the air-permeable regions of the backrest cover (20).
