Abstract
A vehicle seat includes a cushion material and a cover for covering the cushion material. The cover includes a load receiving portion configured to receive a load of a seated occupant. The load receiving portion includes a large thickness portion and a small thickness portion that are located next to each other in a first direction that intersects with a thickness direction of the cover. Each of the large and small thickness portions includes an elastic layer compressive in the thickness direction and a lower cover layer located closer to the cushion material than the elastic layer in the thickness direction. The elastic layer of the small thickness portion is compressed such that the thickness of the small thickness portion is smaller than the thickness of the large thickness portion. The lower cover layer of the large thickness portion is partially cut off to form a cutoff portion.
