Abstract
A vehicle seat includes: a seat back frame constituting a framework of the vehicle seat; a retractor received in an internal space of the seat back frame; and headrest poles which vertically extend through the retractor and are mounted to the retractor. The retractor may be mounted at an upper end of the seat back frame. By mounting the retractor within the seat back frame, instead of a separate mounting space, the thickness of the seat back in the forward/backward directions may be reduced, thereby thinning the seat and enlarging the passenger compartment.
