Abstract
To provide a vehicle seat that prevents air for heat discharge from being directed toward the head region of another occupant and that reduces discomfort experienced by the other occupant.SOLUTION: A vehicle seat (1) comprises a thermoelectric module (52) that is disposed in a headrest (4) and adjusts the temperature of conditioning air flowing in as well as adjusts, by heat discharge, the temperature of air for heat discharge flowing in, a blower (51) that is disposed on an upstream side of the thermoelectric module within the headrest and sends air including the conditioning air and the air for heat discharge to the thermoelectric module, a first exhaust port (45B) that discharges the conditioning air whose temperature has been adjusted by the thermoelectric module, and a second exhaust port (61A) that discharges the air for heat discharge whose temperature has been adjusted by the thermoelectric module, wherein the first exhaust port is disposed on an occupant support surface (48) of the headrest, and the second exhaust port is disposed in a seat back (3) that is located below the headrest.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
