Abstract
In the case of a seat, particularly a vehicle seat having a supporting frame, there is provided a spring system that is fastened at said supporting frame, an upholstered part that rests on said spring system, and a cover that covers said upholstered part, and for achieving a shaping tension of the upholstery, is braced in its border area in the direction of the supporting frame. The cover, in order to achieve a soft surface, is fixed a first time in the transition area from the upholstered part to the spring system, in which case this area receives a bearing capacity created by stiffening means, such as the surrounding frame, the seat shell or the dimensionally stable upholstery material, said bearing capacity being capable of absorbing the preloading forces introduced via the lower cover portion, without repercussion on the area of the upholstered part that is on the side of the seat surface.
