Abstract

The invention relates to a hybrid cushion element, in particular a seat cushion element for use in a motor vehicle, to a method for producing a cushion element, and to a vehicle seat, wherein the cushion element has a non-woven fabric layer and a fiber composite material, wherein an insert material is arranged between the non-woven fabric layer and the fiber composite material. During the production in a mold, fibers for the fiber composite material wetted with a binder are applied to the insert material, wherein the insert material and the layer of fibers are then pressed to form a complex molded body, wherein the binder can be cured at a temperature less than 120° C.
