A backrest for a vehicle seat, in particular a rear seat, has a head restraint which can be pivoted away from an approximately vertical operative position into an approximately horizontal inoperative position on the rear side of the backrest. The head restraint has a head cushion and at least one supporting rod which holds the head cushion and passes through a slot cutout in the backrest and is fixed to a pivoting shaft arranged in the backrest. In order to avoid openings on the upper side of the backrest for the passage of the supporting rod, the slot cutout is arranged in a rear wall of the backrest, and the supporting rod is designed in such a manner that it emerges out of the head cushion towards the rear side of the backrest with a curved rod section running concentrically to the pivoting shaft, and extends as far as the pivoting shaft with a straight rod section which is angled off at the end of the curved rod section.

Backrest for a vehicle

A vehicle seat has an upholstery which is integrated in both eat part and in the backrest. A ventilation layer is provided through which air can flow, and an air-permeable upholstery cover spans the surface facing the sitting person, as well as having devices for ventilating the ventilation layer. For improving the sitting climate comfort, which also includes a rapidly effective cooling of the seat surfaces heated by sun radiation when the vehicle is entered and the removal of the transpiration moisture, and also for avoiding disturbing air connection hoses between the vehicle seat and the air-conditioner, the ventilation layer is arranged on an upholstery layer. Devices for ventilating the ventilation layer have a plurality of electrically driven miniature fans integrated in the upholstery layer. One miniature fan respectively is arranged in an air duct penetrating the upholstery layer from the underside to the ventilation layer. The distribution of the air ducts takes place so that a uniform, area-wide ventilation of the ventilation layer is ensured.
