The seating comfort can be classified into three factors: (1) body support, (2) transmissibility, (3) fit performance. The original construction (BC and HC plates) have been developed to obtain high-stiffness and continous body support. The BC (back contour) and HC (hip contour) plates are support members formed to resemble the shape of spinal column curve and human hip. As a result, a prototype seat installed the new construction for high-class car satisfies those three factors at high levels.
