Abstract

A vehicle seat of the invention includes: a rectangular-shaped seat back frame (5) having a pair of side frames (6); a plurality of seat springs (34A, 34B) disposed between the side frames; a single plate-shaped flexible cushion plate (31) attached to the seat springs; a seat cushion (9) provided on the front side of the cushion plate; link mechanisms (15, 35) provided near the side frames; and a headrest (4) coupled to the link mechanisms (15). Both ends of the seat spring (34B) are coupled to the link mechanisms. When the seat spring (34B) is moved rearward, the headrest is moved forward. Both sides of each of the remaining seat springs (34A) are mounted to the side frames.
