Abstract
A vehicle seat includes a pad main body configuring part of seat cushion pad, a slide pad that configures another part of the seat cushion pad and that approaches or moves away from the pad main body by sliding in a seat front-rear direction, and a flow path that is formed at an opposite side of the pad main body to a seating surface thereof, and an air moving machine that moves air inside the flow path. The flow path reaches as far as an opposing face of the pad main body that opposes the slide pad, and a main body groove portion that is in communication with the flow path and that reaches as far as the seating surface is formed in the opposing face. The main body groove portion is formed narrower at a location on the seating surface side than at a location on the flow path side.
