A vehicle seat () is equipped with a seat frame composed of a sub-frame () and a rod () provided between certain regions of the sub-frame. The rod is equipped with a minor vibration damping portion () that maintains rigidity of the seat frame when the seat frame is displaced by a large amount and suppresses an increase in rigidity of the seat frame when the seat frame is displaced by a small amount to reduce the level of minor vibrations in the vehicle seat.
