This concerns a vehicle seat the back of which comprises a side-positioned safety airbag placed in a casing integrated into the seat back. The upholstery sleeve of the seat back comprises a cut out section placed to correspond with the casing front face, and the edge of the sleeve which borders the casing front face is engaged in a groove which surrounds this front face and which is integral with the casing.

Vehicle seat fitted with a side-positioned safety airbag

A seat padding, in particular for a motor vehicle seat backrest, includes a foam block whose support face has a recess closed by a base towards the opposite face, and filled with an insert of material permeable to air and/or moisture. The recess is arranged between two lining return grooves defining two re-entrant lines in the cover surrounding the padding and symmetrical with respect to the vertical mid-plane of the padding. The recess is separated from the grooves by two respective shoulders made of a hard foam.
