Abstract
A vehicle seat is provided with: paddles configuring frames of a side support of a seat back; a side support adjusting mechanism including a paddle drive mechanism receiving adjustment force and displacing the paddles in a seat width direction; a side airbag provided in a folded state at a seat width direction edge portion inside the seat back, receiving a gas supply and deploying forwards in the seat front-rear direction while inflating; and a frame moving structure for displacing the paddle inward in the seat width direction by deployment pressure of the side airbag. In the frame moving structure, the paddle drive mechanism, for driving the paddle inward in the seat width direction, allows relative displacement of the paddle in the seat width direction.
