Abstract
A seat heater includes a seating heater, a protection device of a non-resettable type, a base material, and a protecting heater. The protection device has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The base material is a sheet having a first covering portion covering the first surface and a second covering portion covering the second surface, and is folded so that the first covering portion and the second covering portion face each other. The protecting heater heats the protection device. The protecting heater includes a pair of first heating portions and a second heating portion. The pair of first heating portions are formed as a meandered shape only on a surface, which faces the second covering portion, of the first covering portion. The second heating portion is disposed between the pair of first heating portions, and formed as a meandered shape both on the surface, which faces the second covering portion, of the first covering portion, and on a surface, which faces the first covering portion, of the second covering portion.
