A string-shaped member () for drawing the seat cover () and attaching the same to the seat pad () is disposed along an opening of the seat cover. The seat cover () is provided with a pull-in portion at a position corresponding to the pull-in recess of the seat pad (). The pull-in portion is inserted into the through hole of the seat pad (). A distal end of the pull-in portion is provided with a retainer portion (and) that is capable of engaging the string-shaped member ().
