Abstract: There is described a foam seat element comprising an isocyanate-based foam matrix having an A-surface for contact with an occupant and a B-surface for contact with a support element. An elastomeric layer is disposed on at least a portion of the B-surface for contact with the support element. This approach results in reduction in labour to produce the elastomeric layer compared with correct positioning of cloth inserts on a foam production manufacturing line. Further, since, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the elastomeric layer is achieved by spraying a liquid elastomer-forming composition on a portion of the mold surface, the costs of achieving the elastomeric layer are significantly less than those associated with using prefabricated, pre-cut cloth inserts.
