Abstract
A vehicle seat that provides rigidity of the seat while enabling weight reduction of the seat is provided. The vehicle seat has upper ribs projecting from a top surface and lower ribs projecting from a bottom surface in a seating region of a bottom plate. Also provided in the seating region are a center protrusion portion formed at a center portion and an annular protrusion portion formed outside the center protrusion portion to have a space therebetween. The upper ribs are formed at parts different from parts at which the center protrusion portion and the annular protrusion portion are formed, while the lower ribs are formed at the parts at which the center protrusion portion and the annular protrusion portion are formed. The upper ribs and the lower ribs are arranged alternately, while extending radially from the center protrusion portion toward the annular protrusion portion to form a honeycomb shape.
