VEHICLE SEAT ASSEMBLY HAVING LAYERED SEATING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle seat cushion composite comprising:
- a structural layer adapted to be mounted within a vehicle to provide support to an occupant, the structural layer having at least two edge regions abutting at least two edges of the structural layer and having an inner region provided between the at least two edge regions, the at least two edge regions having a plurality of channels formed therein that extend concavely proximate the inner region toward at least one of the at least two edges; and
a cushion layer provided adjacent to the structural layer, the cushion layer having a plurality of projections sized to be received within the plurality of channels of the structural layer for minimizing lateral movement of the cushion layer relative to the structural layer proximate the edge regions.

Abstract
A vehicle seat cushion composite is provided with a structural layer adapted to be mounted within a vehicle to provide support to an occupant. The structural layer has at least two edge regions provided proximate two edges of the structural layer and an inner region at least partially bound within the at least two edge regions. The at least two edge regions have a plurality of concave channels. A cushion layer is adjacent to the structural layer and has a plurality of concave projections sized to be received within the plurality of concave channels of the structural layer for minimizing lateral movement of the cushion layer relative to the structural layer proximate the edge regions.
