The resilience adjustment member is a cam that is rotationally operable by a person seated on a seat and the position in which rocking load due to the rearward tilting of the backrest is applied to the spring portion is changed by the cam, so that moment applied to the spring portion changes and the degree of resistance of the spring portion is adjusted.
