Abstract A seat capable of exhibiting improved seating characteristics. A backing cloth member of a one-piece structure is stretchedly arranged form a seat back section of a seat frame to a seat cushion section thereof. A net-skin member of a one-piece structure is laminated on a front surface of the backing cloth member so as to extend from the seat back section to the seat cushion section. The net-skin member includes a front mesh layer, a rear mesh member and a number of piles arranged between the front mesh layer and the rear mesh layer to connect the front and rear mesh layers to each other therethrough. Such constriction permits a central region of the net-skin member which exhibits maximum cushion characteristics to be arranged at a position corresponding to the hip to waist of a person on the seat, to thereby eliminate a hard feeling of the frame member positioned at an interface between the seat back section and seat cushion section, resulting in seating characteristics of the seat being highly improved.
A seat comprising: a seat frame including a seat back section and a seat cushion section; a backing cloth member constructed into a one-piece structure and strechedly arranged from said sat back section to said seat cushion section; and a net skin member of a one-piece structure including a front mesh layer, a rear mesh member and a number of piles arranged between said front mesh layer and said rear mesh layer to connect said front and rear mesh layers to each other therethrough and layered on a front surface of said backing cloth member so as to extend from said seat back section to said seat cushion section; wherein said backing cloth member includes a laterally extending slit therein, said slit being arranged at a position corresponding to said seat back section of said seat frame.
