Abstract: A duct for a ventilation seat of a vehicle includes a seat cushion duct and a seatback duct that are interconnected so as to communicate with each other via a telescopic sliding duct. The telescopic sliding duct is variable in length in a forward-backward direction such that a length of the telescopic sliding duct interconnecting the seat cushion duct and the seatback duct may be increased when the seatback is folded, and the length of the telescopic sliding duct interconnecting the seat cushion duct and the seatback duct may be reduced when the seatback is unfolded. Because the telescopic sliding duct can vary in length, it is possible to avoid damage due to a load applied to the telescopic sliding duct by folding and unfolding operations of the seatback. Further, it is possible to easily supply air to the seatback and the seat cushion without leakage of air.
