Abstract
A vehicle seat includes a side support structure supporting a body of a seated occupant in a lateral direction of the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat includes a seat pad; a support member that supports the seat pad from a rear face side; and a rear face material provided in an integrally impregnated and hardened state along a rear face shape of the seat pad. The seat pad includes a rear face-side support region. The rear face-side support region is provided with a recessed portion formed such that a region between two points in a circumferential direction of a transverse section is recessed toward a surface, the two points being supported by the support member via the rear face material. The side support structure is formed by a protruding rear face-side support structure in which a rear face of the recessed portion is hardened by the rear face material.
