Abstract: A trim cover assembly for a vehicle seat assembly, a vehicle seat assembly, and a method of assembling the trim cover are provided. The trim cover assembly has a first trim member with a first surface to form a seating surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A second trim member is provided for connection to a seat member, and has first and second side regions each extending between first and second end regions. The first and second end regions are connected adjacent to first and second edges of the first trim member, respectively. A central region of the second trim member is connected to the second surface of the first trim member via a first seam.

Abstract: A seating system for a vehicle and a method for producing a seating system include a seat part having a cushion and a support material disposed on a surface of the cushion. An elongated member is attached to one side of the support material to create a channel in the opposite side, and a trim material is positioned over the support material to create a concavity in the trim material along the channel.

Abstract: A vehicle seat trim assembly includes a seat trim adapted to be located over a seat foam that is supported on a vehicle seat frame. The seat trim includes an occupant support surface and a side trim that is attached to the occupant support surface. The vehicle seat trim assembly also includes a frame sock. The frame sock has a cover having an attachment edge with a top attachment portion that is attached to the occupant support surface and a side attachment portion that is attached to the side trim. The frame sock includes a clip that is attached to the cover and is adapted to engage the vehicle seat frame. The frame sock also has a strap that is attached to the cover between the attachment edge and the clip. The strap is attached to the cover and to a resilient retainer.

Abstract: A method for making a vehicle seat cushion component includes a step of providing a viewable surface component having a first set of alignment features, the viewable surface component having a central section, a first flanking section and a second flanking section. A first side of a central foam panel is attached to the viewable surface component with a first flanking foam component separated from a central foam component to define a first gap and a second flanking foam component separated from the central foam component to define a second gap. A support foam panel is sewn to the central foam panel. The support foam panel includes a second set of attachment features and defines a plurality of slots that allow a removable component to be inserted between the central foam panel and the support foam panel after the components are sewn together.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a vehicle seat cushion assembly includes providing a perforated outer material to define an outer seating surface. A backing material is sewn to the outer material using a first sewing line against which a wadding material is placed in a central region of the cushion. The wadding material is further secured by a hook and loop fastening product to the backing material. To secure the wadding material, a second sewing line is run. Left and right wadding materials are placed between the sewing lines and the edges of the cushion. Additional sewing lines laterally cross the longitudinal sewing lines to imbue the cushion with a wrist watch-like appearance.
