  • Patent number: 7980633
    Abstract: A seat for a vehicle and a seat for a watercraft include a polyurethane-made first cushion body covered with a seat skin. A thermoplastic elastomer-made second cushion body is disposed between the first cushion body and a bottom plate 43. The relationships of t1<t2, 5 mm?t1?30 mm, and 20 mm?t2?50 mm are established, where t1 is the material thickness of the first cushion body, and t2 is the material thickness of the second cushion body. The resulting configuration provides a seat for a vehicle and a seat for watercraft which are capable of securing a good ride comfort.
